Summary: The Nest is a very comfortable cottage in a lovely village and fantastic location. There was a generous welcome pack and many extras that made our stay extra special. There are many walks close to the cottage and some interesting Roman history. So much to see and do at The Nest.

Summary: From the outset, everything went super smoothly with the booking, welcoming info and instructions. We loved the Nest and Melrose in equal measure and had no complaints about anything. Highly recommend the town for self catering as we used the butchers, fishmongers, greengrocer, deli and bakery and had all the equipment and tools in the Nest to enjoy some excellent local produce after our lovely walks in the hills behind and all along the river both ways. We will be back and our dog too, who loved the extra touches for him.

Summary: This is mainly to compliment Rachel for her efforts at the property. Everything was prepared beautifully. The extras were many, including milk, bread, biscuits, cereals, coffee tea, milk sugar butter and sweets. There were so many I have probably missed several. All of this and a pleasant welcome note got us off to a great start. We had a good stay and enjoyed the area. Thanks a lot Rachel, your efforts were very much appreciated. She also got in touch to say we could check in early. Colin and Vanessa.
