  • "We arrived a hour early and were permitted to enter The Nook early There was no welcome pack."

    The banister to the first floor bedroom came off the wall. My husband fell and twisted his knee. The stairs are very steep. The TV internet dropped The owners live above and were decorating and it was extremely noisy Day and evening

    Thank you for this honest feedback, Bruce. We have taken this on board & have been making alterations to ensure this does not happen in the future. On arrival we do have a welcome pack which is situated on the dining table. I am sorry you did not see this. We have ensured it is more priminent for future guests & that the folder contains information regarding the accommodation & local area. Unfortunately, the router did go down during your stay & although we have installed a local area network to avoid Internet issues, this was out of our control. After the router was rebooted, the problem was resolved. We were totally unaware of sound issues as we had soundproofed all ceilings in The Nook. Clearly this was not enough so we are installing a soundproof floor in the room that caused you a problem during your stay. We now do not use this room until the soundproofing is down. I am very sorry that you slipped on the stair due to the banister coming away slightly from the wall. I understand that your wife does not like stairs & following this incident we made the 2 single beds into a super king in the downstairs bedroom for you. The connection point that caused the issue has now been replaced with a newel post for added strength & support. We are committed to providing a pleasurable stay & are sorry this was not what you experienced. Property Owner

  • "Absolutely fantastic."

    With my line of work I have stayed in many places but this is 100% in my top 5. Home from home. Location is amazing too. Just loved every second. The living room and dining room stole my heart. Definitely a must stay for anyone….we will be back :)

    Wow! Top 5! Thank you for this feedback. We have worked hard to make The Nook as comfortable as possible to ensure our gusts need for nothing during their stay. Thank you again for this feedback & hopefully we will welcome you back in the future Property Owner
