The Nook is jointly hosted by our family, Trev, Jo & Alex. You might receive messages or responses from any of us. Please feel free to message us with any questions you might have and we will respond as soon as we can. We look forward to welcoming you!

The Nook is a detached limestone built 19th Century cottage, originally built as a cottage for the village shoe-maker. The cottage is set back slightly from the main road, giving the property a more private feel. There is a driveway for one small-medium sized car and there is plenty of on-street parking.

*Renovated in early 2023* We have undertaken extensive interior renovations on The Nook to help make our cottage feel more cosy and more efficient. We have used local, independent tradespeople during our renovation. Smart Philips ‘Wiz’ lighting is included throughout main areas of the house – allowing you to set the mood with coloured & dimmable lights, from a remote control next to the main light switches.

The ground floor consists of an entrance porch, with shoe storage. The living room has a bay window overlooking the front garden and main street through Taddington. The living room also has a feature fireplace with a modern efficient wood burning stove. Limestone tiled flooring throughout the ground floor with the benefit of thermostat controlled electric underfloor heating for those cooler nights - and we’re sure those 4 legged friends will love it too! There is a 3 seater sofa amd 2 armchairs for relaxing on. Smart TV with access to apps such as Netflix, BBC iPlayer, ITVx.

Through the living room, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen-diner including an extendable solid oak dining table with 4 chairs. Also included in the kitchen is a Ninja dual drawer air fryer, and a Tassimo coffee machine.

The kitchen leads out to the private rear fully enclosed courtyard garden with flowerbeds, and a raised patio seating area perfect for enjoying a barbecue and drink with family or friends on relaxed summer evenings. We have an electric ‘Ninja wood-fire’ Smoker Barbecue for you to use outside – perfect for perfectly grilled summer feasts.

Throughout the upstairs, the property benefits from the very latest in electric heating technology – Infrared heating panels, controlled by a thermostat are a new efficient way of heating homes – and the heat the panels produce feels like the sun’s warmth on your skin. The main bedroom consists of a king-size bed, full height wardrobe, chest of drawers, TV and scenic views overlooking Taddington and the hills beyond.

The bathroom is recently extensively renovated, including a walk-in Gröhe rainfall shower, heated infrared towel rail and underfloor heating. The second bedroom at the rear of the property can be made up into either twin beds, or a double bed - please specify your preference upon booking.
