"The Nest Box was a delightful place for our break."
Spotlessly clean and bigger than it looked in the photo's, it had everything we needed and more. Claire and Chris were great hosts and helpful, the welcome breakfast pack was a lovely touch and much appreciated. The bed was very comfy too. We would definitely recommend and would stay again.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and we so enjoyed having you stay with us - hopefully we can tempt you to make the long journey to visit again! Best wishes, Claire & Chris Property Owner

"We throughly enjoyed our stay at Red House Farm staying in the Nest Box."
We loved the surroundings and peaceful atmosphere, the accommodation was lovely we could have easily stayed on. We both fell in love a little bit with the farm and can recommend The Nest Box as a great escape with many places to visit in the surrounding areas. Chris & Claire are lovely people & great hosts. 10/10 (we miss seeing the horses and chickens
Thank you so much for your lovely words and we're so pleased you had such a great stay. The ponies have been asking after Arnie and send their regards! We hope you'll make the long drive to visit us again. Best wishes, Claire & Chris Property Owner

"We couldn't have found a nicer place to celebrate my Birthday."
A lovely cottage with everything you need. Very clean, nice comfortable king size bed. . Kitchenette. Also a complimentary breakfast, which is a lovely thought. Chris and Claire make you feel at home, and are there if you need anything..Two gorgeous Shetland ponies on the farm. A very quiet and peaceful stay. One of the best cottages I have stayed in.

"We have stayed in some wonderful cottages but the warmth of our welcome has been the best."
The cottage is ideally situated for long country walks and has all you need for a wonderful stay. As a general rule we don't return to the same places or area but we both would love to go back again. See you again next year.

"We stayed here during October, the nest is like a cosy blanket and delight to return to after a cold day out."
The grounds are beautiful along with the girls who provide eggs, and Ronnie the pony who is just so cute. The house is so clean and the welcome pack of a lovely breakfast was very welcome. Our dog loved the treats. Chris and Clare are so friendly and welcoming, and can’t do enough for you. My advise would be that if you intend to cook for yourself stop in Diss before checking in and do some shopping there is a Tesco and Morrisons there. the pub the Thatchers is dog friendly and good lunch and evening food. Annie’s cake shop in Diss is dog friendly to. We has a lovely short break in Gissing at Red house Farm.
Thank you so much for your lovely review which will be a real help to our future guests and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay! It was a pleasure to meet you and hope you'll visit us again. We had some great chats! Best wishes,Claire & Chris Property Owner

"Well maintained modern barn conversion."
Everything one needs in a great location for exploring S. Norfolk and Suffolk. Excellent pubs for eating nearby in Burton and Fornham. Owners friendly and helpful. Plenty of land to walk your dog. Some may find water pressure lower than they're used to.
-
"Chris and Clair gave us such a warm welcome we couldn't fail to enjoy our stay."
Situated perfectly as a base and they bent over backwards to make our stay as wonderful as possible. They have wonderful grounds, with nature in mind. The resident animals are a real bonus, as was the complimentary breakfast. Very well worth a visit or several. Beautiful accommodation, surroundings and total atmosphere. Thank you
Thank you so much for your fabulous review and we're delighted you had such a good time! We hope to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, Claire & Chris Property Owner

"Property was all of the above set in a beautiful location, Clare and Chris are perfect hosts in every way, always taking the time to stop whatever they were doing and chat and offer advise on pubs, eating out, places of interest etc."
We do this once a year to see friends and relatives that live in the area and this is by far the best we have been too which we will certainly re book next year

"The hosts are so friendly and caring, not nosy and intrusive, but there if you need anything."
The accommodation has everything you could need, the kitchen is well stocked with tools and supplies to get you started cooking, and there's a dishwasher so you can have a break from the washing-up. The large bedroom is cosy and the bed is very comfortable, I had no problem sleeping, and it is so quiet despite the close proximity of the railway and resident cockerel! There's a wardrobe and drawers to put away your clothes, so no need to live out of the suitcase and the bathroom is just off the bedroom, which is handy at nighttime. The courtyard outside is a lovely place to sit in the nice weather, our host gave us some sun loungers to use, and it's a lovely lookout from the lounge window. We enjoyed watching the birds come to the feeders and a hedgehog visited in the evenings, there's so much wildlife to appreciate right on the doorstep. The accommodation is situated on the edge of the village and we walked to the pub (The Gissing Crown) a couple of times, it's a nice fifteen minutes walk along a very quiet road. The hosts have provided information about local walks and recommended fish and chips etc. You have to drive to buy food supplies, Diss has supermarkets, and a few of the villages nearby have small shops. We used a local farm shop (Goodies) once which was expensive but stocked some treats as well as fruit and veg (their strawberries were delicious). They also have a nice cafe. The accommodation is well positioned to explore Norfolk and Suffolk, we had days out on the broads (hired a day boat from Wroxham), Norwich, Southwold and Diss, as well as more relaxed days. We can highly recommend The Nest Box, we had a great time and would be very happy to return for a future holiday, or recommend it to our family and friends.
HI there - thank you SO much for your fantastic review which is not only nice for us, but truly helpful to our future guests. It was a total pleasure to welcome you both, plus VIP (Very Important Pooch) Teddy, to our little corner of South Norfolk. We enjoyed our chats very much and 'your' hedgehog has continued to turn up along with another! We hope to see you again one day in the future. Take care, Claire & Chris Property Owner

"Absolutely loved our stay here."
The owners are lovely and welcoming. The Nest box is cute, charming and a very reasonable rate. Stunning countryside position, being near the Train line you’d think it would be noisy but we hardly noticed it. Beautiful for stargazing with minimal light pollution.

Chris and Claire were amazing hosts and really made us feel welcome and at home, with an amazing breakfast package and also treats for our dog, Mylo. The freshly laid eggs were fantastic and lovely location. Mylo loved walking round the grounds exploring and meeting the pony's and geese.

"The owners of The Nest Box were so welcoming and very helpful."
They spent quality time giving us tips on how best to enjoy our stay given our known interests. We particularly enjoyed the the lovely animal residents, the two delightful Shetland Ponies, the assertive geese and pet cats. Our working cocker Maesy was welcomed and made to feel at home. Given the beautiful location in South Norfolk (rural England at its best) it is our intention to return. All things being equal.

"A relaxing holiday, Chris and Claire went that extra mile to make our holiday complete, local information and knowledge of the wildlife around the farm ."
-
"The Nest Box cottage was very well equipped with the most comfy bed we have experienced, so quiet at night in the country."
Full kitchen appliances and a great shower. The cottage and grounds were ideal for us to relax in and very dog friendly. The owners Chris and Claire were very pleasant and could not do enough for us and provided a welcome pack for breakfast. Diss is a short drive away and well worth a visit. We used the cottage as a base for the nearby Broads and the Norfolk coast resorts of Gt Yarmouth and Lowestoft are an easy drive away.

"An excellent cottage in every aspect"
-
"This is a great cottage, roomy and very comfortable."
The bed was so comfortable we have ordered one for our home. The owners are very welcoming. They had thought of everything, even bacon, sausages and eggs for a great breakfast. A nice personal touch was the great hand drawn map of the grounds and surrounding area showing us where we could exercise our German shepherd. Anyone interested in wildlife would be in for a treat as there are a great variety of birds and animals that can be seen within the grounds. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Nest Box to anyone.
