WHAT WILL I FIND AT THE NEST?

We've all been there on a self catering holiday - having to buy a whole tub of salt, or bottle of oil just because you need small amount when cooking.  Or finding no washing-up liquid in the cupboard once you've finished your meal.  Or realising that there's nothing to wash your hands with, because the last thing you would have remembered to pack is some soap....  Personally speaking, our family goes on holiday to RELAX and that's exactly what we want you to do.  So we've provided as much as we could possibly think of for you at the Nest.  Less weight in your luggage and less hassle for you.

 

 

Every Great Holiday Home Needs:

  • Central Heating throughout.

  • Superfast Fibre Broadband with free WiFi access 

  • Recycling facilities - paper, cardboard, glass, tins, plastic - we do it all!

  • Dedicated parking space and your own entrance and private courtyard garden

  • A really welcome Welcome Pack -  including milk, butter, home-baked bread, home-made jam/chutney, home-baked pie/cake and seasonal fruits from the garden (when available). 

  • A range of local supermarkets deliver to the door, and if you choose to arrange an on-line shop prior to your holiday, we can unpack this for you so its already in the cupboards when you arrive.

  • A virtual guidebook you can download in advance of

  • A comprehensive information folder, together with leaflets and a range of information on places to visit, activities, the local area, shops, restaurants, takeaway menus, taxis, emergency numbers, etc.
