Dear Guests,
Welcome to The Nest
We hope that you enjoy your stay and that your holiday is just what you want it to be.
We have put a lot of time and care into making this cottage a comfortable and welcoming retreat for you.
It has been re-furbished to a high standard and furnished sympathetically to offer practicality for your needs.
We’ve added a few finishing touches that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. The delicious and very romantic Complimentary Bottle of Bubbly and some choccies. So as soon as you arrive in The Nest, you can relax and celebrate the beginning of your Devon Break in style.
Also, lovely luxury Eden toiletries, with their bright, fresh and clean look. Our Eden products have the added benefit of a refreshing green tea fragrance to enhance the pampering experience.
We wish you a fabulous holiday and trust that you will enjoy The Nest as your own home.
Our very best wishes,
Eve and Mike
