  • "This was a beautiful cottage, warm and cosy,well equipped kitchen."

    We needed a short break not far from home as my parents can't travel so far. On arrival we did miss the entrance to the cottage but found the village pub The White Horse (Great food) and the friendly locals, Janice then directed us from there. Thank you for a relaxing weekend we will definitely come again.

  • "Our stay at Robin Cottage was perfect."

    My husband and I took my father who is 92 and has recently had a hip replacement so has mobility issues. The ramp up to the cottage was easy for him, the walk in shower was excellent, which meant he felt confident in an unfamiliar place. The cottage was spotless, beautifully warm with lots of hot water and the kitchen well equipped. It was an ideal place from which to explore the area. Thank you so much.

    Thank you so much for your positive feedback... We do love to hear what our guests have to say even if not positive! Happy to hear it was accessible/suitable for your father. Janice Property Owner

    It had sweet touches of character relating to the Red Robin theme. We thoroughly enjoyed our family stay and wholly recommend it. The area around is lovely countryside pretty thatched villages, old market towns, a friendly nearby horse and peacock calling. Many thanks for a lovely stay!

    We couldn’t have asked for more! The cottage was so comfortable, cosy, bright and airy - spotlessly clean - and so much thought had been given to everything you could possibly need or want. A lovely welcome note and basket awaited us too. We will definitely be back. Thank you so so much for making us - and our doggie - so welcome.

  • "We had a lovely 5 days at Red Robin and owners Janice & Kevin are very good hosts."

    The microwave gave up and Janice immediately replaced with a very good Kenwood; this was all set up and waiting when we arrived back after our day out. The accommodation and extras were superb and a lovely "welcome pack" was very much appreciated. The property is warm and cosy, the beds comfortable, the linen and towels brilliantly white and soft. We hope to visit again, and our thanks and best wishes to Janice and Kevin.

  • "We arrived just before Christmas to a beautifully lit barn complete with door wreath, tree and an array of Christmas trimmings."

    There was a beautiful Christmas hamper there to welcome us. Beds were very comfortable, lovely fluffy towels, all cooking and serving accessories were available and there was plenty of parking. The outside paved space was great for the dogs to exercise in and limited any dirt being brought in although I would suggest a doormat by the patio doors to further eliminate this

    We were so happy you had a lovely Christmas in Red Robin. We take all comments on board and a mat has now been placed by the french doors. Thank you for your generous feedback Janice Property Owner

    Very peaceful. The patio is a real sun trap so you can easily enjoy a meal in the garden when the sun is out. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils etc. Bathrooms are lovely and the underfloor heating makes it even better. There is only one way to improve this property and that would be a hot tub!

  • "We had a lovely time in Red Robin."

    It was warm, comfortable and had everything we needed. So lovely to be able to take 3 dogs as well. I had an issue with a blind that was replied to very swiftly. The only thing I can think of that could possible make it better for dog owners is to have the whole area fenced, the area under the hedge is not and we hadn’t noticed and our dogs got out. We kept an eye on them after that! Other than that the cottage was fabulous and would recommend to anyone. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The whole of the garden area has now been fenced and is fully secure for dogs. Thank you for your feedback Janice Property Owner

    The home is very comfortable and well equipped with a good supply of essentials and cleaning materials. Staying over New Year we appreciated the Christmas touches and it was nice to have a good selection of games, books and dvd’s.
