10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic and affordable. The Nest exceeded our expectations. The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities along with the double room was gorgeous, modern, cozy and clean. Bus stop from town literally at the door step, and the one going towards the city centre only a couple of minutes away. Cannot recommend this enough, would definitely stay again!
