Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, describing it as spotless and well-maintained. The high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.

The property's location is frequently highlighted as peaceful and beautiful, with easy access to local attractions and countryside walks. Its rural setting and proximity to interesting places make it a desirable choice for visitors.

Comfort is a strong point for Robin's Nest, with guests mentioning the large, comfy beds and the cosy, homely feel of the property. The spaciousness and warmth of the accommodation add to the comfort level.

    The bed was so comfortable, the scones, jam and apple juice that was there when we arrived were delicious. We visited Stokesay Castle just up the road, walked the long Mynd and ate out at the local pubs. We would definitely stay here again.

  • Lauren

    It had everything you needed to enjoy your stay. Particularly liked the nice quality bedding and towels which is quite rare in a holiday let and it was clean and comfortable throughout. Lots of beautiful walks close by. Balcony overlooking a field of sheep was an added bonus to watch while having a coffee in the mornings.

  • Abbie

    Lovely touches of fresh apple juice, milk and homemade cakes bought to us on arrival. Gorgeous place everything you need and lovely waking up to the sheep in the field in front. Bed was brilliant- comfortable and good quality bedding! Lovely walks from the doorstep (with a bit of searching) and also carding mill valley (beautiful place) just a 15 minute drive away! Farm dogs were lovely and didn't bother us or our dog at all a bit of barking as expected but no bother. My only comment is that the floor boards creak towards the bedroom area and we were just conscious of not disturbing those staying below us. Thank you for a lovely stay- we can't wait to come back!
