Robin's Retreat in Holt offers a peaceful and well-located base for families and couples, with easy access to local amenities and woodland walks. Guests praise the proximity to the main square, the well-equipped kitchen, and the relaxing atmosphere. While most found the property comfortable and clean, a few noted issues with cleanliness and the size of the second bedroom. Thoughtful touches such as welcome hampers were appreciated by some guests, though not always provided. Overall, the property is highly recommended for its location and family-friendly environment.
Most guests found the property clean and well-presented, with crisp bedding and tidy living spaces. However, several reviews mentioned issues such as dirty kitchen utensils, a stained sofa, and damp towels, indicating some inconsistency in cleaning standards.
The location is frequently highlighted as a major strength, with guests enjoying the peaceful woodland setting, privacy, and close proximity to the main square, shops, and local attractions.
Guests generally found the property comfortable, with spacious living areas and a relaxing atmosphere. Some noted the second bedroom was very small and one guest found the main mattress uncomfortable, but overall comfort was rated positively.
The property is well-equipped for cooking and family activities, with good Wi-Fi, a selection of DVDs, and plenty of on-site amenities. A few guests mentioned minor issues with equipment such as the toaster and the size of the fridge, but most found the facilities met their needs.
Some guests were delighted by thoughtful touches like welcome hampers and children's toys, but these are not guaranteed for every stay. A few reviewers felt that a more consistent welcome pack and basic supplies would enhance the experience.

As you approach Robin’s Retreat you will feel your shoulders drop as you take in the stillness of this award-winning park, where the stresses and strains of every-day life just melt away. Set in unspoilt woodland, Robin’s Retreat has been carefully furnished to mix comfort with style and is the perfect place to relax and unwind in, whether you choose to do so in the comfort of the cosy living room or amongst the trees in the decked outdoor area. It is a much-loved family bolthole where many wonderful memories have been made, and the owners are very excited for you to make your own there too.
Kelling Heath is probably unlike any holiday park you have every visited, much care has been taken to ensure the placement of the lodges provides privacy and tranquillity, making the most of the 300-acre site, which has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It does offer many of the draws of other sites such as a heated indoor swimming pool, a seasonal outdoor pool, a sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi hot tub and health and fitness centre (three-day passes are available at very reasonable rates) along with an on-site shop, which boasts lots of local produce, a bar and pizza restaurant. But things are done very differently here, there is a much-needed change of pace at Kelling Heath, which is probably why it is so loved by everyone who has been lucky enough to discover it.
Activities take the form of children’s bug hunts, cycle hire and passing visits to a small sanctuary for red squirrels. There is often live music in the village square, which also plays host to lots of great events throughout the year such as vintage and beer festivals. The site is also a designated Dark Sky area and you just won’t believe the blanket of stars that will unfold above you as night falls. There is so much to do here that many guests never leave the grounds but for those who do the treasures of the Norfolk coastline await, with the beach just two miles away. You will also find yourself within easy reach of the Norfolk Broads and the fine city of Norwich.
There are steps or steep slopes in the garden.
Please note that charcoal BBQs aren't permitted on site. This is to help keep you, the caravan, and the woodland areas safe. Gas BBQs are welcome, provided they're supervised at all times and used in an open area, well away from the caravan.

The lodge was well situated and very well equipped. Unfortunately we did not sleep well due to the uncomfortable mattress, so slept in the single beds instead.

A beautiful and well cared for site it was a shame the holiday accommodation wasn't the same. We liked the setting it was quite private and the car was close. The kitchen looked ok when we first went in however the plate in the microwave was filthy we had to wash it before we could use it, the tin opener had food on it and some of the utensils in the pottery holder again had food stuck on them. NOT impresed at all. Hygiene didn't seem to be a priority in this holiday accommodation.
