  Where do I start about this dream holiday!

  Wow! What an absolutely stunning property in the most beautiful setting! The view was just amazing; it looked like our own secret hideaway in the forest. We were greeted by 4 squirrels, so my girls were really excited! Then even more excited to see that Claire had left them strawberry milkshakes and mini cupcakes!! We loved how cosy it was, made even more so by the underfloor heating and fantastic lighting and the electric log burner. I loved that every detail had been thought of from the nuts to feed the squirrels, the log burner being for show so the kids didn't burn themselves, and the sign and flowers welcoming us. It was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean and tidy on arrival. Everything was provided for us to keep it this way too. There were robes and slippers for us to use in the sauna and a beautiful collection of aromatherapy oils. The sauna was wonderful and much appreciated addition, when we were after a fun, but relaxing holiday. I left there feeling so much better and after a long and stressful half term, it was just what we needed! The girls loved playing the board games, watching TV and most of all being outside feeding the squirrels and exploring the area. Even when it rained, the girls were having the best holiday. Claire was a perfect host. Before the holiday, she emailed to ask if we wanted to know places to visit and explore and where to eat. We definitely took her up on a few of her suggestions and these were fantastic. She asked which flavour milkshakes the girls would like and made sure she had thought of them as well as us. She came to greet us personally at the house and check we had everything we needed and checked back the next day which I thought was really thoughtful of her. We had no problems, but I know she would have sorted them instantly. She even came to say goodbye with a gift for us and the girls. She was the best host I have ever come across. I am so glad we chose the Nest for our family mini break. I couldn't have wished for a more perfect holiday. I highly recommend this place and we are all looking forward to staying again. Definitely 10/10 all round, I can not fault this property or host. Thank you for making our holiday so special.

  Really great location for exploring Pembrokeshire.

  Very spacious, well-appointed lodge. There were a few drawbacks: - to get to the lodge you have to walk past the main home entrance of the lodge owner; this wasn’t a huge problem but didn’t allow for any privacy for lodge guests and a little uncomfortable as it feels like you’re walking through someone’s garden and worried about disturbing the owner when exiting the property/going to the car. - it was great to be able to take pets, but our room smelt a bit of dog. Perhaps unavoidable if dogs are allowed on premises. - the boiler was very temperamental, and we had only luke warm water in the main bedroom en suite. We should have spoken with owner but just used the main bathroom; this needs fixing. - the roads to and from the lodge are mostly B roads and many were severely water logged if not flooded. This comes with the lodge being rural but if you’ve got a small sports car then you might want to borrow a car or go someone less rural! The owner left Welsh cakes and mince pies which were lovely and her communication with us was superb. The kitchen was really well stocked with pots, pans etc. and the kitchen being part of the living room area was brilliant for entertaining.

  We’ve just had the most wonderful and relaxing break at The Nest in Prestatyn which is so deserving of five stars.

  The superb quality of everything from soft furnishings & bedding to kitchen appliances, the attention to detail, the spotless cleanliness and the warm welcome we received were all absolutely outstanding. The facilities are of the very highest standard and Claire is a natural and brilliant host. We took all the information she gave us on local walks, restaurants and cafes and spent four magical days exploring and visiting different venues, returning each evening to a much needed and extremely relaxing sauna. Like The Nest, the sauna has well thought out features so temperature, music, lighting etc are all easily programmed to individual preferences. Aroma oils and robes are provided. Cyril, the visiting squirrel, loves monkey nuts (also provided) and will take them from your hand. He is very cute indeed. Now the secret is out I fear we will have difficulty booking our next stay! Thank you for looking after us so well and for the welcome bottle of Prosecco and luxury biscuits which were such a thoughtful and appreciated touch. The Nest exceeded our expectations by a mile and we look forward to revisiting in the summer. Warmest wishes, Y & A.

  Our stay at the Nest was perfect.

  Our host Claire could not of done anymore to make our visit exceptional . Claire was able to give excellent ideas on where to visit but also had brilliant knowledge of the local area . Claire’s recommendations absolutely enhanced our visit and her passion for the area really showed. Nothing has not been thought about for guests at the Nest . It’s incredibly comfortably and a perfect place to rest after exploring North Wales. Everything about the Nest is high quality. It’s been designed to maximise comfort of stay. The Nest feels very private and is a great place for a peaceful break . We loved seeing the friendly squirrel visit in the morning. The combination of the hosts care , the idilic location and the first class accommodation made our stay perfect . We stayed for a week and will be back again next year . The sauna is a must and is a real bonus feature . Would completely recommend for a getaway to explore North Wales absolute 5 stars from us .

  Generally the cottage is good, with reasonable if not top notch facilities [eg would like a cottage for 4 to have a dishwasher].

  Although perfectly clean, the need for updating and the amount of knick knacks meant it didn’t quite feel that way and it smelt a little damp, not helped by how dark the cottage was - lots of windows but overgrown vegetation and covered verandah reduced the light. Good cooking equipment and beds comfortable. I was annoyed by the total lack of response to my text to the owners asking about return of items I had left behind [you get the number because they ask you to text them the day before you arrive. Returning the favour would have been helpful]. Sykes were totally useless on this too - the link to the form did not lead to a form, I couldn’t find one anywhere, the live chat was closed and sent you to WhatsApp, the response there was infuriating [we have info for you, do you want it? Umm, yes, then nothing, then describe what you’ve left, I did, then the response WhatsApp is closed, please use SMS. I gave up. Customer Service this is not…]
