We had a lovely time staying at Uncharted Stays. David was very friendly, helpful and accomodated our needs. The property was well maintained and very family friendly with a variety of activities for the kids to do onsite. Highly recommend staying at this property.
Our team loved our stay at the Nest - we had 13 of us staying at the property for our staff getaway. The property is beautiful and there was plenty of space for all of our sessions/workshops/meals. The location is so convenient - close to local shops and dining options. To top it off, David was a fantastic host. So helpful & accomodating of our group. We will hopefully get to stay here again soon!
