We have just returned home from a fabulous week in Cornwall and loved staying at the Nest as it was

We have just returned home from a fabulous week in Cornwall and loved staying at the Nest as it was perfect for our needs. We’ll set up even a BBQ on the patio. We had our little dog with us and the cottage was very cool in the heat and suited her very well, she’s very old!The Nest was very comfortable, in a fabulous location especially for touring the westerly parts of Cornwall. Local restaurants Birdies & the Forge I’d highly recommend. as the weather was glorious all week we spend a few days at Hayle Beach, quieter than the main beaches but just as glorious with the added bonus of Gilbert’s beach bar, perfect food and drink- highly recommended! All within 5 minutes of The Nest so no need to go into the busy towns looking for an evening meal. Would totally recommend! 😁

Fantastic Cornwall base for couples

We had a lovely three weeks at this property. Owners were available during our stay any time we needed advice about the local area. Property was very clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Although a small property it was airy and had all the facilities we needed for our stay. Would highly recommend and hope to return again at some point.

Cosy nest for 2

Super immaculate and tastefully decorated, just the right size for 2 people and a pooch. Really impressed with the amenities and friendliness of hosts who had bags of information about the area, will recommend to all our family and friends.
