The Nuthatch is an excellent bolthole for a relaxing stay. It is well equipped and comfortable. There is access to a private swimming pool which was a treat! For me the large lounge window and covered outside area were huge pluses- being able to watch wildlife, be sat outside with a book and a hot drink was magical!

If you want to relax and get away from it all, then this is the place to go!And as long as you like water and don’t mind sitting in a hot tub in the rain, you may be lucky and get good weather, then it would be the ideal break.Plenty of places to visit, most no too far.
