The Nook Reviews

Spent a fantastic couple of days at The Nook, lovely place. Would recommend to anybody wanting to relax, go on walks or eating out. Brilliant
The place was lovely, it was well maintained and whilst we did not need the owners they were very attentive. Would recommend.
He Nook was a real treat to stay at. Close to town with shops and pubs within easy walking distance. Lots to do in the area. Alison and Roger, the owners could not have been more helpful. Hot tub, even in the rain was a lovely bonus after a long day walking. Love it so much have already booked to stay again in 2025.
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cosy property. The Nook has everything needed for a relaxing break. The hot tub was fab, really powerful jets. The garden was safe and secure for our little dog, and the park is only a few minutes walk away. You have everything you need to either cater for yourselves in the property or, if you prefer to eat out, there are an abundance of eateries, pubs and cafes. Whitchurch is a lovely place and we particularly liked the independent shops. We hope to visit again soon.

We stayed at the Nook 30100211, The Nook is beautiful place very cosy, clean and the design very well thought out . The hot was just simply heaven and the icing on the cake. I would and have 100 recommend the nock to anyone looking for somewhere to stay. Whitchurch is a beautiful town also lots to do if you wish but for us as a family we just loved being in the Nook. The best 50th birthday present. Can not wait to stay again.
Louise
Lovely place to stay. Close to all amenities so no need for taxis at night. Hot tub is great. Ticks all the boxes and the host couldnt have been more helpful. Thanks
Stefanie
The Nook exceeded our expectations! From the moment we walked in we felt right at home. The property is spacious and well thought out, with gorgeous features and beautiful dcor. The lounge felt luxurious and comfy. Being newly renovated everything is brand new and in lovely condition with all needs being taken care of, from a coffee machine to an icemaker. We found it peaceful, quiet and relaxing. The jacuzzi was the icing on the cake! We were looking for a central location, that made the town and local nature spots accessible and The Nook was absolutely perfect! Cant wait to come again.
We loved the place. The cottage is very close to whitchurch town centre easy to walk to with the town having a lot of independent shops and pubs. Lovelly walks near by. Alison was very friendly and helpful. The jewel was the hot tub which is very private and lots of nice lights surrounding it.Would love to return
We arrived a hour early and were permitted to enter The Nook early There was no welcome pack. The banister to the first floor bedroom came off the wall. My husband fell and twisted his knee. The stairs are very steep. The TV internet dropped The owners live above and were decorating and it was extremely noisy Day and evening
Andrew
This place was amazing! I will definitely be back with friends in the summer to make use of the hot tub.
Stacey
Absolutely fantastic. With my line of work I have stayed in many places but this is 100 in my top 5. Home from home. Location is amazing too. Just loved every second. The living room and dining room stole my heart. Definitely a must stay for anyone.we will be back

Go Ape Cheshire - WA16 6RW
about 18 Miles
Out of all of the Go Ape! courses the one in Cheshire is the most spread out and it takes staff ten minutes to patrol the site on bike - which gives a good indication of the size of this place.  If you're looking for an adventurous and memorable day out then Go Ape is highly recommended.  Trek through the treetops, swing between the trees and enjoy zip wire rides all as part of your experience.  This attraction opens every day from the end of March to end October and is open on weekends in November.  Go Ape Cheshire is closed every Tuesday except school holidays.

Locally renowned for the Sheep Steeple chasing and daily goat races this is a really unique family attraction that the kids will love.  You can really get hands on with the farm animals with the animal handling sessions and you can have a go at teaching the parrots to talk!  The crazy craft cabin will keep even the most creative entertained with pottery and painting amongst other things. When you are in need of a rest head for the The Hungry Shepherd Tea Room where you can enjoy a bite to eat and children can burn even more energy in the indoor play area.
