There are a number of family games provided, both indoor and outdoor, making it ideal for all ages. The location is perfect for bird and nature watching—rabbits, deer, and Muntjac are regularly seen just outside the house. It's also wonderfully private, offering a peaceful retreat.



Rechargeable outdoor lighting is available for relaxing in the evening and can be stored away to reduce light pollution at night. Outdoor blankets are also provided for added comfort.



Quarry Nest is thoughtfully equipped for families, sleeping up to six guests. A travel cot and highchair are provided. We also accept well-behaved pets, so your furry friends are welcome too.



The home is also fitted with eco-friendly underfloor heating powered by heat-pump technology, and an electric vehicle charging point is available to guests.



Guest Access:

Guests have full access to the entire home and garden. For security, all guest names and vehicle registration numbers must be submitted in advance. Guests may bring up to four cars, two parked at the house and two parked at the reception.



Guests staying at the property also have access to the Cookswood Estate

Mineral Lake, which is fed by natural local spring water. During the

summer months, the water takes on a beautiful turquoise hue, creating a

peaceful and rejuvenating setting. The lake is perfect for wild swimming,

paddle boarding, and kayaking, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy

nature in a private and tranquil environment.



Other Things to Note:

While the house is completed, the wider site is still under phased construction. You may notice building activity elsewhere on the estate, but this should not affect your stay. The estate is a former quarry, and the terrain can be muddy, so we recommend bringing wellies or suitable walking shoes if you plan to explore the surroundings.



The house also has parking up to 4 cars. 2 cars can be parked at the house and 2 to be parked at the main entrance building.



Please note that the lake is owned, managed, and operated by

Cookswood Estate, and we have no control over its operation or

maintenance. Safety rules must be followed at all times when using the

lake. These will be available within the property and in the guest house

guide.
