The characterful weather-boarded Nest, with Winnie the Pooh weather-vane, is approached from the drive via an external wooden staircase to the leafy first-floor entrance making it feel like a treehouse and where you will find a useful rack for those muddy walking boots/wellies.
The Nest is nestled under the canopy of an old pear tree and Scots pine with your own small private garden below furnished with dining table and chairs, a tranquil spot where you can relax and listen to the birds. There is space for bikes to be stored under the external stairs. Parking is available on the drive. Do help yourselves to the pears!
