The Nest

The Space
The Nest is a cosy one-bedroom annex with a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom (with shower and W/C), and a small kitchenette just outside the bedroom. The kitchenette is equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, and all the essentials. The bedroom also has a dining table for two and a flat-screen TV with a DVD player. Plus, high-speed Wi-Fi is provided. You’ll have your own private entrance, so you can come and go as you please. The entrance opens into a hallway, which the owner (an artist) may use occasionally to access their studio. The Nest’s private living space is upstairs. Outside, there’s a lovely table and chairs—perfect for enjoying a summer evening. You'll also have a sheltered parking spot in the carport.
