"First class!"
Clean, well-appointed, practical. Useful welcome pack. Attentive hosts, on the doorstep, if required.

"We’d read all the great reviews before staying but they don’t really do Robins Nest justice, it’s definitely a 5 star place to stay."
If you’re a National Trust member there’s lots to do within about 30 mins drive. We visited Felbrigg, Blickling, Sheringham park and the coast near Blakeney. Unfortunately we had one day of miserable rain so didn’t go out but we loved staying in as Robins Nest is so comfortable and has everything you need to relax, read a book, brew up and make food. Watching the wildlife through the window from the comfort of the sofa was a great distraction from the rain. There’s lots more we’d like to see and do in the area so we’ll definitely be back. Thanks

"This is the best cottage we have stayed in."
The attention to detail in the way the cottage is designed is impressive. The welcome pack is also very extensive. The cottage was spotless in all respects and the outside patio area allowed us to sit and enjoy the wildlife on the bird feeder which was regularly replenished. The owners obviously have a very personal investment in the cottage. All in all a great stay.
-

The location of the property was peaceful with local wildlife and good views. I was able to relax, when I got back from my sight seeing, without having to worry about unexpected problems.

"The property was the cleanest we've ever stayed at."

"A little tricky to find but the what-three-words on the booking was super helpful (get the app!"
). Robins Nest is the most perfect home away from home, so comfortable with such a beautiful outlook across the fields. It looks brand new and is spotless. They have thought of EVERYTHING, leaving a welcome pack of butter, eggs, bread, cake and a bottle of wine too. All the kitchen equipment is top of the range, there is everything you could possibly need - it was a little tricky finding the plates but we got there in the end! I would 100% recommend this place to anyone, I would happily move in and live there full time myself!!
-

Comfy bed. Parking right at the door, lovely welcome pack. Friendly and helpful owners. Nice view along the paddock and loads of birds on the feeders. Quiet location but convenient for the coast (1hr) and inland.

Such a delight to find places like Robin’s Nest, which is why this was our second stay Such a warm and comfortable cottage with everything you could possibly need and more Ideally situated to find all the nearby attractions So peaceful and relaxing watching the birds from the patio Excellent hosts who can’t do enough for you and are always on hand if needed Can’t recommend this property enough Thanks

"Fantastic stay, excellent holiday home a touch of Luxury away from home, will be booking again, fully relaxed for week and Thursford Christmas Spectacular, this property is the best we have booked with Sykes, welcome pack was a brilliant touch."
-
"We had a fantastic two week stay here in November 2023."
The property has everything that you need for a comfortable stay. It is immaculately clean and well stocked with an amazing welcome pack that was super appreciated. The owners are lovely and friendly. It's truly quiet and relaxing. We slept incredibly well throughout the holiday. The wildlife is amazing and we lost count of the different birds we saw. From here, for us it's both a short drive to see family and a few are further afield so the location was fabulous for exploring Norfolk. It's also well lit if you're returning later at night. The parking is easy to get in and out of with plenty of space. We were delighted with the cottage and as a few others have pointed out it really does put others in the area to shame and we've stayed in a few (most more expensive too) over the years of visiting our family. Sykes really need to use this quality as a benchmark across all of the properties they offer. We are hoping to return on our next trip home.

The quality of everything in the cottage is of the very best with absolutely everything you could possibly need.The welcome pack superbe,something we hadnt experienced before and it was very much appreciated.The view from the lounge to the paddock is a lovely sight to wake up to with the variety of birds and animals including three Muntjacs.The cottage is a credit to Carol and David who gave us a warm welcome and explained everything we needed to know,a lovely couple.Other owners should take note of how a holiday cottage should be run.An absolute delight to stay here and we are now in the process of booking again for 2024 and this has never happened before in our Sykes history.Well done.

"Robins Nest is a fantastic property."
Extremely clean, comfortable and very well maintained. The quality of furnishings and fittings is very high. It was lovely having two weeks at the property really enjoying the peace and quiet. The owners should be so proud of their holiday cottage, we loved it there and would love to go back. This is how to provide a great holiday property!
-
"Beautifully maintained cottage."
Immaculately clean. The hosts have thought of everything that might be needed. Thoughtful welcome hamper. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful and quiet. Comfortable stay, would come again.
-
"A beautiful holiday cottage, really well equipped and spotlessly clean."
We stayed for a week, wanting to take in some of the rural Norfolk life and absolutely loved it. There's plenty of wildlife to see just from Robin's Nest with deer, hares and all sorts of birds to see every day. Also the local pub (The Bell) is a fantastic village pub. Location - wise you can get to all points of Norfolk easily from by car so it's very well placed for day trips. David and Carol were great hosts, available if you should need anything. We'd definitely recommend this place and happily stay here again.

"We enjoyed our stay, felt welcomed the second we got there."
Although we did not meet the hosts at first, the place just gave off a nice vibe that the owners were kind. The hot cross buns was a special little treat to go with easter, it was like personal touch with the food essentials that was also there for our stay! The lodge was cosy and quiet with a lovely little garden and the shower was powerful! Not forgetting how good the oven was! Plenty of wildlife to watch and the place itself was thought out very well for your needs! We are already looking at booking another visit!

"What can I say, Robins Nest is Perfect in every way."
It’s location is very peaceful, On arrival we opened the door and was so impressed with the level of decor..The owners had left us a few essentials, along with a bottle of wine and cake. Everything for the perfect stay had been thought of, and the cottage was so well equipped with A huge selection of maps and guides for local attractions, games and books. Plenty of room, made the stay excellent, and the level of comfort was superb. A very well equipped kitchen made cooking a pleasure and it really felt like home from home…. I’m 100% certain we will visit again in the future and highly recommend Robins Nest for anyone looking for a peaceful break within easy reach of places to visit.

"Robins Nest was a fabulous place to stay."
It was especially nice to return each evening to such a comfortable and cosy cottage after being out in the cold, frosty weather. Lovely, peaceful location, well placed to visit the North Norfolk coast, Kings Lynn to the west, Norwich to the east and many places in between. Facilities at the cottage were excellent, including a range of brand new guides, books and maps which the owners had clearly taken great care to select. The cottage was equipped to a very high standard with many thoughtful extras. We even had a Christmas tree. It was lovely to meet the owners who were very friendly and on hand should we need anything. I would definitely recommend this cottage.

"Just returned from a week stay here and I cannot recommend this cottage enough ..."
Just returned from a week stay here and I cannot recommend this cottage enough Absolutely amazing accommodation, definitely a 5 star property A little bit out of the way but once you get used to the narrow roads it’s perfectly fine It’s not far from a main route that would take you into Kingslyn, Norwich or the coast Had a bit rain whilst we were there but because the cottage is so very well equipped and lovely and cosy it was no hardship staying in All in all a wonderful holiday and can’t wait to rebook x
-
"The presentation of Robin's Nest is of the highest standard."
There were so many thoughtful touches, we have never experienced such attention to detail in other holiday properties that we have stayed in. The location is perfect to explore Norfolk and we look forward to booking again.
