    We would definitely use the property again if available when we need to stay in the area.

    It was all good

    It was good to have our own space and as we were visiting friends it was brilliant as the property was next door to our friends!!! Also a good touch was milk and juice on arrival in the fridge and tea, coffees etc and even cereals which was a thoughtful gesture

    Nothing. Just be aware that there aren’t many options for food. The only at walking distance (35 min) is the pub. The food is good, but the kitchen closes at 8pm.

    Great place, very nice host. They recommend the walk on the coastal path to the Windmill, a very nice pub.

    The bed was a bit too soft for me, but I suppose that’s a personal thing. There was an issue with the shower drain. However, this was solved adequately by David in a very short time.

    Greatly situated apartment with on-site parking where we stayed for one week. The apartment is managed by a lovely couple. Supermarkets and shops quite close to the apartment. A coastal footpath is just a stone’s throw away from the apartment. To sum it up, we’ve had a great stay at this place.

    Our third stay at this gem of a property and we can only reiterate everything we've said previously - clean, comfortable, excellent facilities, great value for money, friendly and welcoming hosts (who we didn't actually see this time, emphasising the ease of checking in and out). Highly recommended - we will be back!

    No WF-FI and bad 4G reception in that area. Sadly that was not mentioned in the description. Full stars if that gets added.

    Stunning view and super clean room & kitchen. Great for a retreat and if you need a moment offline.

    Nothing to complain about.

    We really enjoyed our stay in the cozy nook. The location on the edge of Portishead right by the sea was just great for extended walks along the coastal trail. There's a bus stop very close to the apartment making it easy to schlepp our shopping from Clevedon or downtown Portishead. The view of the sea and estuary from the bedroom window was quite something. Milk, tea, coffee and cookies were at the ready when we arrived making us feel most welcome. Communication with our hosts was helpful and prompt. Great shower, too. We'd love to come again.

    Leana's review of the Nook

    Overall a lovely place to stay. But, if I were to nit-pick: The pillows were very soft, lumpy and didn't hold its structure. The kettle could do with some descaling.The shower area was a bit moldy which could do with a bit of sprucing up.

    Love staying at the Nook! It was clean and had everything you needed for the stay. The location was super convenient for us, not to mention it had lovely views as well. The host was kind, warm and friendly. Would come back to stay in the Nook in a heartbeat.

    We were en route to Cornwall so this was a night stop. 10 mins from the motorway. Easy to find & we picked up a takeaway in Portishead. Nice to be able to sit and eat at a table and it is a very well equipped apartment. It's a decent size and you could easily stay self catering for multiple nights. Big bedroom and great views. Very clean. Lovely owner.
