Robins Nest Reviews

Lovely cottage, very clean and the hamper on our arrival was lovely. Had everything we needed and the bed was very comfortable. Quiet and peaceful location and very relaxing. Lots in the local area to do and would recommend it.
Just perfect, stunning property, lovely and quiet. Everything was on site and truly loved staying here and will definitely return.
Cheryl
This is a beautiful property in a lovely rural setting. The property is super clean and extremely well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub is an added bonus and though it takes a few hours to heat up it stays warm for a long time and is very relaxing. The welcome hamper was also very well received and appreciated. We will definitely be back!
Robins Nest, is stunningly beautiful, care has been taken with every detail. The owners have gone every mile to make you welcome and comfortable. The cleanliness was outstanding. I can not fault. It really was a home from home.
Fantastic property in a lovely location. Stayed 3 nights, just wish it could have been longer, will definitely visit again. Super hosts!
Lorraine
Highly delighted at our holiday let. The owners have gone to extreme trouble to think of giving clients a home from home with extras
Jessica
Wow what a gem! Beautiful decor, clean and homely. Attention to detail including the hamper and doggy treats! Beautiful views and peaceful! The list is endless. Only recommendations to have a fan available as it was very stuffy and hot tub to be filled ready as took several hours to be able to enjoy Will definitely return and be recommending to family and friends
We had a wonderful long weekend at Robin's Nest. Glorious weather, a brilliant little cottage, with all the things you need. Very comfortable and in a great location. We took the dog and he loved the walks over the fields close by. Good location for trips into York. Loved warming up the hot tub and having a very peaceful, relaxing weekend. Great hosts and a lovely welcome hamper topped off our fantastic break.
Absolutely beautiful place with everything we could need. Welcome hamper, robes & logs were a lovely touch & we enjoyed very much. The place is immaculate & has everything you need with a fully equipped kitchen. The location is a good base to explore the beautiful east coast & we enjoyed the walk with our GSD around Robin Hoods Bay to Boggles hole , Flamborough head where we saw seals on the beach & Filey. The town of Pocklington is a 5 minute drive & we did a lovely walk down Pocklington Canal. The log burning hot tub was lovely after a days walking.
Gorgeous cottage! The bed was ridiculously comfy. Everything was spotless. Perfect location. I couldnt recommend enough. Just make sure the first thing you do is fillheat the hot tub as it takes a while but dont let this put you off as I couldnt fault the place. Lovely place to stay.
Angela
This is the best equipped, cleanest and most comfortable holiday let we've ever stayed it. Allow yourself about 90 mins to fill the hot tub and 5 hours to heat it. No electric means no bubbles though which I hadn't realised until we got there but it was lovely to lay in it and listen to the owls hooting away in the darkness.
We had a lovely few days at Robins Nest. Everything about the property is perfect and would highly recommend to others. Clean, comfy, warm, great standard of facilities and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch.
Tracey
Robins Nest is a little bolthole in the country. We loved our stay in your little cottage. We were greeted to the most amazing welcome package and a basket full of logs for the log fire as well as having a beautiful Christmas tree sparkling in the corner. Kitchen was fully stocked of equipment, shower was amazing and the beds were so comfortable. Not far from the busy streets of York which we visited on Saturday but our favorite day was walking around Pocklington, we had lunch at the Wolds Cafe, absolutely delicious and found a gem of a shop called Dilly Dally which is full of treasures. We will most definitely return.
