We absolutely lived Robin's Nest, it was cosy and comfortable and in such a wonderful location. With Sidmouth, Exmouth, Exeter, Topsham, Seaton and Budleigh Salterton all very nearby, it was such a lovely holiday. Robins Nest itself was a gorgeous hideaway and although compact, it had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The garden was adorable for our 2 doggies and there was a lovely spot to relax in the garden. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly return.

Great little place to stay, with lots to do only a short drive away. Lovely walks both from the accommodation or around the coast which is about 10 mins in the car.

We spent a wonderful weekend here with our two Golden Retrievers. Although the listing mentioned only small dogs were allowed, Jane and Andy were kind enough to welcome our medium-sized Goldens, which we really appreciated.The cottage was clean, well-maintained, and the good-sized garden was perfect for the dogs to run and play. There are several supermarkets close by, and we found a few lovely dog-friendly places to visit in the area too.We had a really enjoyable weekend break and would highly recommend this place to others. We're already looking forward to coming back again. Thank you!
