  • "Spent a fantastic couple of days at The Nook, lovely place."

    Would recommend to anybody wanting to relax, go on walks or eating out. Brilliant

    Fantastic to hear you had such a good time whilst staying at The Nook. Whitchurch is a little known hidden gem with some great places to eat at, lovely pubs & beautiful architecture all just a short drive away to some stunning countryside & places to see. We hope to welcome you & your dogs back again in the future. Thank you. Property Owner

  • "He Nook was a real treat to stay at."

    Close to town with shops and pubs within easy walking distance. Lots to do in the area. Alison and Roger, the owners could not have been more helpful. Hot tub, even in the rain was a lovely bonus after a long day walking. Love it so much have already booked to stay again in 2025.

    It was an absolute pleasure to have you staying in The Nook! Your feedback & suggestions on how we can make things better was invaluable even the smallest suggestion of extra coat hooks by the front door for wet coats. And to book again for 2025 even before you left is amazing. Thank you so much. See you in April. Property Owner

  • "We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cosy property."

    The Nook has everything needed for a relaxing break. The hot tub was fab, really powerful jets. The garden was safe and secure for our little dog, and the park is only a few minutes walk away. You have everything you need to either cater for yourselves in the property or, if you prefer to eat out, there are an abundance of eateries, pubs and cafes. Whitchurch is a lovely place and we particularly liked the independent shops. We hope to visit again soon.

    It was a pleasure to meet you & your husband during your stay at The Nook & we are pleased that you made full use of the hot tub! It really is fab! Your review is valuable to us, so thank you for taking the time to leave it. We have tried to cater for all eventualities & tastes so it is good to hear that you found all you needed for a cosy, comfortable stay. See you soon, hopefully! Property Owner

    The hot was just simply heaven and the icing on the cake. I would (and have) 100% recommend the nock to anyone looking for somewhere to stay. Whitchurch is a beautiful town also lots to do if you wish but for us as a family we just loved being in the Nook. The best 50th birthday present. Can not wait to stay again.

    We are so happy that you had a fantastic birthday celebration at The Nook & our lovely little town. The hot tub is fantastic in all seasons. Glad it made your stay even better! Thank you for recommending us & we do hope to see you again. Property Owner

  • "The Nook exceeded our expectations!"

    From the moment we walked in we felt right at home. The property is spacious and well thought out, with gorgeous features and beautiful décor. The lounge felt luxurious and comfy. Being newly renovated everything is brand new and in lovely condition with all needs being taken care of, from a coffee machine to an icemaker. We found it peaceful, quiet and relaxing. The jacuzzi was the icing on the cake! We were looking for a central location, that made the town and local nature spots accessible and The Nook was absolutely perfect! Can’t wait to come again.

    Thank you for leaving a review of your recent stay with us & we are pleased you had such a good time & enjoyed the hot tub. All feedback is important to us & we appreciate the time taken to leave it. We look forward to seeing you again! Property Owner

  • "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
