• "Lovely small and cosy bungalow."

  Convenient location close to Holt. When we were there the weather was poor, but we enjoyed our stay regardless. Nicki, the owner, was very welcoming and helpful. She fixed a problem with the shower promptly and efficiently, and went out of her way to get it sorted that day. (Thanks Nicki)

• "My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Robyns Nest."

  The owner, and our host, Natalie was very easy to talk to and helpful with any queries we had. Natalie’s husband Paul brought us a paper every day, which I appreciated. The property was warm cosy and comfortable with everything we needed, the walk in shower was a bonus. The only problem I had was the size of the bed. Although it was comfortable and warm because of my size, 6’2”” and 19 stone I found it a little bit too small but that was down to me and not the comfort of the bed. We must mention the beautiful Norfolk Terriers, ten of them, who lived next door. Always ready for a treat and a warm welcome whenever we returned to the property every teatime and first thing on a morning. Overall we had a lovely week catching up on places we hadn’t visited for over thirty years and we would recommend Robyns Nest as a comfortable central base for sightseeing the wide area.

  It was warm and comfortable. The shower was great. Being February we didn’t sit outside. But in the later months there was a nice seating area guests could use. The area was very rural and quiet. There was a nice grass area where you could “walk the dog “.

• "Robyn’s Nest is our favourite place in North Norfolk."

  It is small but ideal for the two of us and our cocker spaniel. She is friendly and very helpful about local places to visit. National Trust estates, and many long beaches, are only about half-an-hour away for long, healthy walks. We have just retuned home with our fourth visit booked for next year. Mike, Helen and Martha.

• "We have stayed at Robyns nest a number of times and always love to return."

  The bungalow is clean and comfortable and there is everything that you need to hand. The owner Nicky is very friendly and usually on hand to answer any questions or just have a chat or be left alone as you wish. There are several National Trust properties in the area and we visited three during our stay. Felbrigg Hall was our favourite - it has an amazing walled garden. The property has a shared garden - the bonus for us was watching the owners Norwich terriers as they played during the day.Definately recommend Robyns Nest for a stay in Norfolk.

• "Overall Robyn's Nest Cottage was fantastic."

  Nice rural location and quiet. Our host, Nicky, was pleasant and good to talk to if you wanted a chat, however, not at all intrusive. Nice tidy and clean little cottage that fulfilled our needs. Only little quibbles, which are very minor are: The Internet was a bit temperamental and kept dropping off our phone. However our tablet worked perfectly. The heating control took a little working out, but once I mastered that was a nice and warm. There were no instructions regarding recycling, if any. Otherwise, like I say, fantastic little place.

• "The accommodation was lovely!"

  Everything we needed was there. I drive myself to distraction at times by being too fussy, so it was wonderful to find everything absolutely immaculate. We were terrified by the obviously very new carpets (which were perfect) and dreaded having a spill or walking mud or dirt in with us. It was possible to control the heating ourselves and we were warm and cosy all the time. The hot water really was hot enough and there was always plenty of it. All the furniture was comfortable and like new. All the rooms were pleasant to be in and beautifully presented, welcoming and homely. It was a tranquil and peaceful spot, totally quiet at night. Parking was easy, and within the driveway of the main house so felt secure, and was very easily accessible. Little touches like toiletries, a few tea bags, sugar and washing up liquid made it easy to settle in. Thank you so very much. I cannot recommend this accommodation and location highly enough.

• "When we first entered Robyn's Nest we were horrified to see dog's urine stains on the carpet!"

  We had to ask the owner for an oven glove and pan scourer. There were no instruction manuals for the cooker or heating. The concrete patio at the back hadn't been swept for weeks, and there was a lot of leaf litter. The garden furniture was poor, and included a seatless chair that was lying on it's side. The back lawn was covered in dog poo. Other than that it was okay!

  I am sorry about the marks on the carpet it is cleaned regularly but the stain keeps coming through, this carpet is being replaced. We did discuss the heating with you and advised you to turn the thermostats on the radiator up and down as required.The seatless chair was in my own garden waiting to be replaced. The back lawn is my own lawn and my own dogs use this ,guests have use of the front lawn.Unsure why you mentioned the oven glove and scourer as this rectified within minutes. I am glad you enjoyed the rest of your stay. Property Owner

• "This is a great little property, perfectly located to explore North Norfolk."

  Situated in a quiet rural area, but within easy distance of the coast and inland sights. The cottage itself is quirky, with every room an odd shape, but the facilities are good and the standard of cleanliness more than satisfactory. Car parking and outdoor seating available. Good shower. Towels and linen supplied, along with a selection of shampoo / conditioner. Kitchen well appointed. Only two quibbles. First, the owners had yet to get a cable to connect the DVD player to the new TV, though that could have been resolved within a day or so. Second, although our laptops and iPad connected to the wifi, the mobile phones managed to do so only once in a while, which led to us running out of data. But these were minor issues. Overall, a very good place to stay.

• "The owner was great, she was a joy to talk to and was most helpful."

  The cottage is a good size for three, however a minor gripe was we had family come to visit us while we were there and there was not enough cups for everyone. Maybe a couple of extra one would be an idea? The door into the main bedroom is a sliding one and was a little difficult to close at times, again a minor gripe. The owners dogs were little darlings and one was most entertaining with her ball, our dog loved it! All in all a great holiday cottage, well located for visiting north Norfolk and not too far to the shops in Melton Constable and Briston

  From the moment we arrived and were fulsomely greeted by Mrs Graves and the many terriers (!) to the end of our stay, we felt we had been in a friendly, warm atmosphere. Mrs Graves was the perfect hostess, access was really easy and parking was no problem. The accommodation was excellent (with everything we needed in terms of equipment for our self-catering stay), the beds were really comfortable, everywhere was spotless, it was great to have table and chairs in an enclosed patio for eating outside, lounge furniture was cosy and comfortable, the bathroom was well appointed and we always had lashings of hot water. An added bonus was that we could take the dog and he and Mrs Graves' dogs got on well. They were delightful and always pleased to see us.

  . Very comfortable in every respect. The local scenery is stunning and it so easy to get to all the places we wish to visit from here. There were 2 in our party but I am certain 3 people would be just as happy. The all important beds and chair/sofa were very comfortable. If I could find something to complain about I would mention it but there was nothing. A really lovely little bungalow that we loved. Perhaps the most telling thing about our holiday here is our intention not only to return to the area next year but we will be returning to Robyn's Nest and not looking online at any other property That shows you how good we thought the bungalow and its setting was. We always have a North Norfolk holiday but this time we know where we will be staying months in advance

  We were either cold or very hot, typical night storage heating. Apart from the single bed room, everything was cramped. You have the kitchen, Dining table and chairs and the suite and tv in a very small room. The cooker left a lot to be desired, The right hand front ring did not work on 6 but did on 3. The place was generally clean, but outside the shower at the base was not, and the shower door did not fit. The arms of the suite had been cleaned but not very successfully. The lady owner was very nice and friendly, and we, as dog owners and lovers did not mind the odd yapping session, which never lasted long.
