Tucked away privately on our drive, The Nest is a characterful and homely weather-boarded property approached via an external wooden staircase to the first-floor tree-house style balcony entrance where you will find a useful wellie/shoe rack. We have created a home from home environment where you can relax and have a peaceful stay whether on holiday or travelling for work. There is fast full fibre WiFi. Nestled under the canopy of an old pear and Scots pine tree you will enjoy your own small private garden below, furnished with dining table/benches and chairs, a tranquil spot where you can relax, read, listen to the birds and have a glass of something! Help yourselves to the pears! There are woodland walks from the public footpath just down the lane without needing to get in your car. If you are planning to eat out locally, the highly regarded and traditional Coach and Horses gastro-pub in School Lane, Danehill is only a 3 mins walk away (open Weds-Sun and we would advise advance booking). There are 2 pubs in Horsted Keynes and an Indian and Italian restaurant (eat-in or takeaway) in Nutley, all within 2.2 miles. There is space for bikes to be stored and parking is available on the drive.
Having lived in Sussex for many years we absolutely love the area and all it has to offer and look forward to welcoming you. We hope you will have a very happy, relaxing and memorable stay in the comfort of The Nest. Please do email us when making your booking if you have any special requests for your stay and we will try to accommodate them if at all possible. We pride ourselves on offering a high standard of accommodation aided by having an interior design and customer service background. We like to create a ‘home from home’ environment where you will hopefully have everything you need for a comfortable and stress-free stay. Knowing our guests have had a wonderful time means so much to us. Our aim is to ensure you will want to return and recommend The Nest based on the quality of service we offer as private hosts who genuinely care about our guests’ experience. We believe that you should receive the same high standard of accommodation with the finishing touches that we would expect and want ourselves. We fully respect our guests' privacy as you would ours, but are of course here to help should you need any assistance and to usually welcome you whenever possible.
