Mr B,

Quite expensive accommodation

Mrs Helena M,

A lovely country cottage. Nicely decorated and well equipped. Beds very comfortable. Lovely location in Castle Acre. Lots to do around the area. My 2 dogs absolutely loved it too, lovely garden and lovely doggie treats left for them. Would recommend and will be booking again.

Mrs G,

Robin's Nest is lovely and the location of Castle Acre is perfect - friendly with nice walks a convenient shop, chip shop and pubs. Close enough to the coast for days out and a the info provided gives plenty of ideas for how to fill your days if desired. The enclosed garden and hard floors make it great for dog owners - the stairs to the upper floor are from the kitchen and so the lounge makes a perfect location for them to sleep.

Miss W,
