    It was hard to find, the parking was narrow or on a hill so we parked on the street. Very narrow steep stairs.

    Nice hosts, prime tv, nice touch with cereal and milk provided.

    The location is stunning, the hosts were wonderful and very accommodating when I had questions or queries and even helped out when I needed some laundry done! Very quiet in the evenings when I got back in, and when weather allowed sitting out with a drink and a book was the perfect way to finish the day.

    The steep uphill driveway was a little bit tricky to negotiate but was not a real issue if you take it slowly and carefully.

    The Nook was a beautiful little two storey apartment with a compact kitchen/sitting area downstairs, along with a modern shower room, and a delightful spacious bedroom upstairs with a view of the Bristol Channel across to Wales from the dormer window. The apartment was clean and attractively decorated, with all the amenities we needed for a few days. The provision of milk, cereal, fruit juice and biscuits were appreciated.

    Lovely quiet spot with wonderful views and easy access to the coastal path. The welcome pack including breakfast cereal was a thoughtful touch.

    Excellent all round. Will be booking again for visiting friends or family. Beautiful property for a couple to enjoy the views over the Severn to Wales and fab location. Hosts were great and even left milk, cereal, tea, coffee, sugar, etc to assist. Very clean throughout and really well organised.

    Liked - location close to the coast path, making it easy to go out for an evening walk or morning run. Decent sized bedroom, good shower. Kitchen had everything we needed. No shops spotted in walking distance, but we’d bought what we needed earlier by the marina. Perfectly located for good sunsets Only (minor) comments - dining table was too small for 2 people to sit at (maybe a folding one would be better?).

    Just delighted and perfect for our needs! The view of the estuary is spectacular and the little bistro table was great for watching the sun go down. It would be so easy to become fascinated by watching the shops slide gently and silently by. Great advice from the hosts on local restaurants, while the good kitchen amenities would encourage us to come back for a longer stay. The Nook does what it promises, offering a cosy, quiet and comfortable environment. The street parking presented no problems and, I think, we would recommend that rather than the driveway. There may also be additional pillows which I missed but it was too late to ask. Love the quiet, love the night sky and the coast is remarkably handsome. 💐

    The nook was just a stone’s throw from the sea, offering breathtaking views from the bedroom window. Waking up to the sight and sound of the waves made for a truly relaxing stay.

    The nook was cosy and welcoming, with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail made it feel warm and inviting, creating a perfect space to relax. The best part is that it truly feels like home—a place where you can unwind and settle in with ease. Whether for a short visit or a longer stay, it offers both comfort and charm in equal measure. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a homely retreat.

    The Nook is beautifully clean and modern, the bedroom is really big and the bed was comfortable. Set in a very peaceful place with great views of the estuary. There is everything you could need for a great stay . It’s a short drive to Portishead and a good base to explore the area. We didn’t meet the hosts but we were out a lot so not surprised. Would definitely visit and stay again.

    Nothing. Just be aware that there aren’t many options for food. The only at walking distance (35 min) is the pub. The food is good, but the kitchen closes at 8pm.

    Great place, very nice host. They recommend the walk on the coastal path to the Windmill, a very nice pub.

    The bed was a bit too soft for me, but I suppose that’s a personal thing. There was an issue with the shower drain. However, this was solved adequately by David in a very short time.

    Greatly situated apartment with on-site parking where we stayed for one week. The apartment is managed by a lovely couple. Supermarkets and shops quite close to the apartment. A coastal footpath is just a stone’s throw away from the apartment. To sum it up, we’ve had a great stay at this place.
