Nene's Nest Reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Nene's Nest. It wanted for nothing, it was superclean and Denise was a most helpful and friendly host. The high quality furnishing and decor are bang up to date, the bed is very comfortable, and everything you need was provided in the bathroom which also had a lovely shower. This property is faultless. Situationwise there is free parking right outside the property and within a 5 minute drive you can be shopping in Sainsburys or M&S Foodhall. Highly recommended!

We had a super break staying at Nene's Nest. The accommodation has been styled beautifully. Very comfortable. Great location for walking into the centre of Alnwick and excellent base to explore beautiful Northumberland. Highly recommend. We will be returning!

Sheila

Nenes Nest is a little gem, perfect in every way, very clean and very comfortable, home from home. Nice to come back to after days out. Lovely seating area at the back, ideal sun trap. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need should you decide to prepare your own food. Great location, only 10 to 15 minutes walk into town, bus station and castle. You can get the bus to Seahouses and Morpeth only 1 hour 10 mins either way, lovely journey. Denise and Ian gave us a lovely welcome. Thank you Denise and Ian we had a lovely time. We will definitely be back. Sheila and David xx

Graham

This accommodation is excellent. Its clean, very new, cosy and very comfortable. The bed is large and comfy, the bathroom is modern with an excellent shower. There are some great places to eat in town, and its a good base for travelling to nearby attractions.

A lovely clean, warm, welcoming and well equipped place to stay. The property has everything you need and is very comfortable, and the hosts, who live next door, are very friendly. Alnwick town centre is within walking distance and has plenty of good eating places.

We had a lovely stay at Nenes nest, the owners house is attached but they are very friendly and kind. We were supplied with a pint of milk and 1 roll of toilet paper and there was some body wash and also foil, baking paper and cling film which we really liked and felt it was well equipped. There was also some sachets of tea and sugar & a couple of biscuits which was great. We were happy that the sofa was not the same as pictured on the photos as we did wonder how we would fit but it appears they now have a bigger sofa which was a nice surprise There was games such as dominos , leaflets of local things to do. We really had a nice stay. The only thing I would say that is negative is we came home a day early just because we found the bed pillows to give us a bad nights sleep as they were so big even with one pillow we got back ache most nights as they were too big to sleep comfortably, but this may be a personal preference. We otherwise had a great time and would come back again some time but would probably just bring our own pillows. Thanks for a lovely stay. xx

Modern und praktisch eingerichtete Wohnung fr zwei. Schn gelegen und sogar das Meer ist in der Ferne von der Strae aus zu sehen. Alnwick ist fr viele Ausflge ideal gelegen. Nette und sehr hilfsbereite Vermieter.

Maggie

We had a wonderful stay, it's very clean and well maintained, so cosy and comfortable with everything you need provided and only a short walk into town. Would highly recommend.

Andrew

A delightful cottage, with it's own enclosed seated area through bifold doors really bringing the outside in. The house was clean and had everything we needed for an amazing stay. It had a lovely soft bed with ample room, and the shower was hot and powerful. Also the towels smelt absolutely gorgeous!! The town centre was an easy 15 minute stroll away. We cannot say anything negative about our stay, highly recommend

We spent an excellent week in Nene's Nest. Denise and Ian had provided every comfort in their love holiday house. The location is in easy walking distance to the centre of Alnwick and ideal for exploring the beautiful area. Fully recommended.

Amazing stay at Nene's Nest for mine and my partners birthday. Comfy sofa and comfier bed. The place had everything we needed, and with such a short walk into town you really can't go wrong ! I even popped the question here

The property was clean, cosy, comfortable, warm and good value for money. We would happily revisit.

I have no reservations about recommending this property to anyone. It is well situated for exploring the Alnwick area. The property is immaculately well maintained, really clean, tidy, well equipped & very comfortable. Perfect for a quiet relaxing holiday.

This was our first time visiting Nene's Nest and we will be back, it's a great base for exploring Northumberland. We would of liked bigger and more towels for a weeks stay, particularly as the weather was so hot! Also one toilet roll for a week isn't enough either and the parking of the car wasn't ideal having to bump the car up a kerb to park everyday. The rear of the property wasn't as private as we are normally used to. Overall though the accommodation was clean, comfortable and well located for a base to stay whilst exploring.

Clementine

The property was very clean, wellequipped and comfortable. The walk into Alnwick centre took approximately 15 minutes and, once there we found lots to see and do. We used the service bus and visited Amble, Alnmouth and Warkworth. Lovely places with outstanding beaches. A great property in a brilliant location.

The property is very new and kept in lovely condition . It does have steps into the garden from the road so best to be aware of this . The walk to town is 15 mins and a is a slight hill both ways . Owners were very friendly but didnt intrude . Bed and seating all very comfy . Parking is on the road we had no problem but very near a junction . All in all a nice place .

Very well equipped and clean property

George

Fantastic property. Clean, almost new, very close to town centre. Spent more time in property than planned due to my wife falling and breaking her arm , but its extremely well equipped and comfortable so no problem. Would recommend. We will return next year ! Ps. Tea,coffee,milk and biscuits were provided for when we arrived.

The house was extremely clean and well equipped. Very comfortable for our short stay.

Teresa

Nenes Nest is perfect for a stay in Alnwick. Its beautifully presented and fully equipped in a quiet location within walking distance of the town centre but also close to the A1 for exploration of the Northumberland countryside. It was a pleasure to stay in such a warm, comfortable and welcoming property.

Alexis

Second time for as at Nenes Nest. Its so comfortable & welcoming, the perfect place to come back to after a day out exploring this beautiful part of the country.

This is an excellent holiday property, extremely well positioned for town and beautiful coastline alike. It is very well equipped, clean and attractively presented in a quiet area of the locality. Plenty of on street parking is available. The owners are readily available and very helpful if you have any queries although an information pack with local contact details etc would be useful. Highly recommended.

Maureen

Misleading to call it a cottage,however, its very nice accommodation in a lovely town. Only negative is the lack of towels, one hand and bath towel each is not enough. It is not very nice to reuse the same towels for 5 days and no facilities to wash them.

Pauline

Nemes nest was a delight from waking in the morning to bedtime it was immaculate . Comfortable and every thing you needed was available.very friendly hosts

Alexis

Nenes Nest was just perfect. It felt so welcoming, comfortable & cosy. It was immaculately clean & well maintained & so lovely to return to after days out. The facilities were excellent too everything we needed & more. Thank you. We hope to return before too long.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at Nenes Nest and found it very cosy. The large bed was extremely comfortable and the accommodation is in a quiet area with very little traffic noise. It is a great base to explore the area and is only a 15 minute walk into Alnwick centre. We definitely plan to return

Just returned from a fabulous stay at Nenes Nest. The property has been beautifully furnished and decorated by the owners. There was everything we wanted at the property, very clean and comfortable. Denise was always at hand should we need anything but at the same time we had absolute privacy. We would have no hesitation in returning to the property.

Christine

The property was spotlessly clean and provided everything needed for our stay. The owners were very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for you. A really lovely property with excellent facilities that we would highly recommend.

Gorgeous little annex, spotlessly clean, had absolutely everything we needed. The bed was amazing, the whole property is thoughtfully presented. We stayed for a week and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owner was on hand if needed and very friendly. A great base for all the surrounding areas, some great restaurants and bars in Alnwick.

Couldn't fault a thing. Great hosts Would always recommend.

Nicholas

Beautiful, comfortable and well equipped. We had everything we needed for a relaxing break. Highly recommended.

The owners live next door and are very friendly and helpful. I would certainly reccomend a stay here

Stephen

This was 1st class accommodation. Everything was perfect . Lovely owners

We had a great stay at Nenes Nest. The kitchen was well equipped should you want to cook a meal and the sofa was very comfortable. It was good having a TV in the lounge and bedroom so we could watch different things. The bed was so comfortable, I have neve slept so well in a bed other than my own and the shower was excellent. Having the small patio outside was also useful to have so you could soak up some sun if you wanted. The location was excellent for exploring Northumberland, such as Bamburgh, Cragside and Alnwick itself. Cleanliness was excellent. Overall I would highly recommend.

Excellent place to stay, comfortable and very clean with easy parking. Central to all amenities. Short walking distance to town centre and new retail park. Owners couldn't be helpful enough with any queries and advice about the local places to eat and visit. Highly recommended and hope to stay again.

Conveniently positioned near the A1 and only a 15 minute walk to the centre of Alnwick Nene's Nest is an ideal base for exploring the Northumberland coast and surrounding area. This compact property is very comfortable, spotlessly clean with all the facilities needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
