The Robins Nest Reviews

Wow , what an amazing property , thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Robins nest , everything high spec ,cant wait to go back .
Penelope
Absolutely amazing place! Very spacious and lots of room for a family of . There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and WC and study downstairs, Everything is tasteful and kept in character showing the exposed beams but with still being modern appliances etc, Quality expensive furnishings throughout. A lot if care has been taken in restoring the barn. Quiet and private but still on the doorstep for a short ride to shops or just put on your walking boots you will be spoilt for choice. Three dedicated parking spots to choose from. The hot tub was used each day and was totally clean private and checked. The dome in the garden makes a great place for entertaining day or night as there are lights inside. I cannot recommend this property enough and already looking at another break there Did I mention it is amazing Definitely a 5 star property if I could have given higher I absolutely would.
What a wonderful stay we had at The Robins Nest, absolutely beautiful home with everything you could possibly need. Very clean and tidy and the little touches were a bonus. The Hot tub was beautiful and relaxing, and our teenagers had the best time in there. Lots of beautiful walks and scenery surrounding the property. Would defiantly return in the future. Thank you.
Dianne
Beautiful property with quality furnishings. Well equipped and extras provided we hadn't expected. More outdoor furniture would be useful.
Thank you for a lovely extended weekend away at The Robins Nest, only wished we could have stayed longer. Very helpful & friendly owner. Accommodation & facilities were great, what a lovely find. Countryside was just perfect & some great walks. We highly recommend The Robins Nest & we will definitely be back.

Very well looked after property, we had a few minor issues which once informed owner ,he sent chap straight round , if not for us then next people. Will be a lovely base to stay at especially in the warmer weather as there's some lovely places to visit for long walks.

Beautiful home for Christmas suited our large party , home beautifully furnished and each room very comfortable bed and lots of storage. Great grounds and garden , private area for hot tub . Was a fantastic location for walks with the dogs and kids , we had an amazing time wouldnt hesitate to book again.
Located in the scenic village of Wintersett, Robins nest is a beautifully modern barn conversion with a spacious living room and dining area, large master bedroom and even an office downstairs. Huge private garden at the front with a conveniently placed hot tub and freshly laundered robes in each of the three bedrooms. We initially booked to stay for a week but liked it so much we decided to stay an extra two weeks. Daniel our host even organised a Christmas tree to be placed and decorated in the living room.
