    I couldn’t stay longer! ☹️

    Very clean & comfortable. Everything you could have possibly needed was there from fresh towels to bottles of water in the fridge. I couldn’t have asked for better hosts. Very warm & welcoming couple

    On our arrival, we were created by a warm, friendly welcome from Nicky 😀. Nook is beautiful. It's clean, cozy, and has everything you need. It is beautifully decorated. Thank you, Nicky, for the beautiful scented fresh garden roses left in the room it created a lovely aroma in the room. We loved your shower and enjoyed the beverage left for us. It's a quiet and peaceful apartment. We got a good night sleep after a busy day in Barnstable. We would definitely recommend this place 10/10, and we will be visiting again. Thank you, Nicky and Ali, for a wonderful stay 💕

    The internet could've been better but that doesn't take down any star, still 5/5 ⭐

    It's an awesome place to stay for a few days as a single/couple. You have everything you could need. Spacious room, comfortable bed, renovated and spacious bathroom. The location is also really nice and handy, you got a superstore at 5 min by car. The welcoming from Nicky was really warm, just enough to make it feel like home 😊

    Nicki and her partner are THE MOST warm hosts! Nicki always makes sure to say hello and goodbye. There’s free sweet treats left inside and the place itself is perfect for a short or long stay! Definitely somewhere I’d recommend to other guests and I would be back!

    We didn't figure out the hack with the Bed, we could've moved it closer to the wall so the one sleeping towards the wall had no fear of the space between the wall and the Bed. Sadly we only figured it out on the last day. It's our mistake honestly.

    STAY WAS EXCEPTIONAL. The host was super friendly. They left a message for me and the guest which instantly made us feel at home. Well equipped kitchen. Loved the amenities they had provided. Best thing was the handmade guide containing places to eat, visit. I can tell the host have put in a lot of effort in making the place feel like home. I've been in few apartments/studios before but I must admit... This place was something else (In a good way obviously)!! I will be definitely visiting again! Loved every bit of our Barnstaple stay ❤️ Thanks a lot for everything :) ❤️
