We loved staying at Wagtail Nest, it was exactly what we expected and more. Eight days of relaxation and peaceful living near all the areas we wanted to explore. The cottage was delicately set within the grounds and we took to the neighbouring horses, the elderly dog Whiskey paid regular evening visits for a tickle. As avid bird watchers we loved the resident Tawny Frogmouth that visited each evening showing off it's hunting skills. Would highly recommend teh 'Nest' for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and recharge.
