THE NEST – HOLIDAY COTTAGE

  The Nest is an absolute dream: perched like a crow’s nest looking out over Julie’s glorious pool and garden, and above the spectacular North Downs views, this little cottage is a haven of tranquility, light and fresh air. Our hosts, Julie and Damian, go above and beyond. Not only are they discreet and helpful, offering lots of thoughtful advice and ideas throughout our stay, but they even remembered it was my birthday and got me a birthday card!

Unlike most cosy cottage holiday let’s, the kitchen and bathroom here are really well-equipped with all the latest appliances and ironware/utensils. You really can properly “live” here! The decor is gorgeous, understated and comfortable, and the accommodation is wonderfully private, despite the vast sweeping views.

Location-wise, I really don’t think this place can be beaten if you like proper walking and breathtaking views. There is a charming farm shop and even a vineyard in walking distance too! 100% recommend for anyone needing to “re-charge” your batteries.

  Julie’s place was just perfect. Cosy hideaway for a few peaceful days with absolutely stunning views over Leith Hill. Brilliant walks right on the doorstep and a wonderful retreat at the end of the day! Hope to stay in the summer to use the pool!

  Julie is a wonderful host, The Nest is absolutely beautiful, such a peaceful location, highly recommended.

  The Nest is the most peaceful, smart, cosy, clean and luxurious little cottage-apartment we have had the pleasure of staying in. We felt instantly comfortable and at home, everything has been so well thought out and no detail has been missed. Beautiful toiletries, wonderfully comfy bed and a smart little kitchen with everything you need. It was in fact hard to leave the Nest each day! The views are also completely stunning - a great bonus. Perfectly easy parking too. Would highly recommend!

  The Nest was an amazing stay. It was peaceful and beautiful space, and has been designed to perfection. Everything from the kitchen utensils to the shower were of fantastic quality, and the view from the room topped it all off. Its also right next to many countryside walking routes.

I would highly recommend to anyone who's looking for a peaceful weekend away!

  Beautiful location and wonderful little house with full amenities - a lovely well designed snug.
We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and the views were stunning. Walks are great nearby! Check in/out was easy. Highly recommended!

  The Nest is situated in a gorgeous place with fantastic views over the Dorking countryside.Surrounded by nature and wildlife is the perfect place to put on the breaks,sit back and relax!Is tastefully decorated and you can feel that Julie and her husband took time and care in creating this lovely environment.They are great hosts and go over and above to make sure that you have all you need to enjoy your stay.We can’t wait to go back when the weather it’s warmer to have a deep at the gorgeous pool!

  Stunning location, great decor, fully kitted out and great hosts! Have no complaints whatsoever. We stayed for a couple of days and went hiking and though it rained we were very comfortable inside post walks....Julie was also very accommodating to our late check out. Will definitely be going back!!!

  Great relaxing stay at the Nest! Julie was a great host giving us tips for local restaurants and allowing us to enjoy the pool despite the changing weather!
We highly recommend this place!

  Thank you so much for hosting us - we are absolutely in love with your place; It’s even better than the pictures!
It was sparkling clean and we loved the privacy near the swimming pool. The whole weekend was such a treat and not to forget the fantastic views. What an amazing location, we looking forward to visiting your cottage again. Thanks Julie and Damian!

  Beautiful cottage with amazing views in a peaceful and quiet countryside setting.

  A fantastic cottage, very well-equipped and amazing views... thank you!

  Wonderful location for relaxing weekend / holiday. High spec and stylish place to start and finish our walks and relax in the evenings. Stunning views to the South. A unique location on top of the Downs. Highly recommended.

  Both Julie & Damien were incredibly friendly, helpful & really speedy with answering any questions that I had. The place was lovely & the scenery was gorgeous. Would defintely go back again!

  This cottage is just stunning and even better than in the pictures. We had a lovely getaway here and were lucky enough to have good weather so could enjoy the wonderful pool, which was a real treat. Julie and Damian are incredibly friendly and accommodating and even unpacked our groceries for us when our Ocado delivery arrived early! The property is just a few minutes away from some beautiful country walks overlooking luscious green valleys. There is also a winery nearby but we didn't get a chance to visit it.

We would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to get out of the bustle of the city and unwind. Thank you again Julie and Damian!

  Beautiful home had an amazing stay

  What an amazing place to relax for a few days. A wonderful, well equipped property with everything you could need in a beautiful location surrounded by nature and country side. It felt so secluded and Julie and Damian were available if needed but otherwise we had total privacy. The views from the garden were stunning and laying on the sun loungers enjoying the view after enjoying the heated pool was bliss. There's lots of nice places to eat nearby, but we mainly enjoyed cooking in and eating out on the patio al fresco. The Surrey Hills are a lovely part of the country and the Nest is a great place to enjoy it from .

  The cottage was absolutely beautiful and maintained to a very high standard. Julie’s communication was excellent throughout and I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone.

  Good accommodation and made good use of the small space in the kitchen/living area. nice swimming pool

  We had an amazing stay. A perfect relaxed private getaway in beautiful surroundings. The nest was immaculate with all the facilities needed to be self sufficient.
The host was really thoughtful and gave us our space. Highly recommend

  If you are looking for an amazing place with stunning views, sparkling clean with modern new, facilities and furnishings, surrounded by beautiful countryside, quiet and private then this is for you.
Just a magical place in every respect.

  Thank you so much to Julie and Damien! The Nest is a lovely little annex with gorgeous views, lots of privacy and is perfect for a mini break. My husband and I spent two nights there for our wedding anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing break where they want to switch off and chill. It's clean, it's beautifully decorated and still has great access to the local town (Dorking) for any amenities.

  A truly beautiful view from The Nest. The facilities are are very modern and stylish. The pool is an excellent size and offers great privacy.

  I read a review comparing this cottage to soho house in regards to the decor etc.
It’s far better than that. Every little detail felt luxury. (Special shout out for the shampoo/soaps etc!)
Julie and Damien were great hosts, and on hand with speedy replies to any questions we had.
My wife and I enjoyed a super private, super peaceful 2 nights by the pool, with incredible views and no noise at all - and just 50 mins from central London!
We enjoyed a beautiful walk through woodlands and fields into the town where there were plenty of country pubs / shops for supplies.
10/10 will book again.

  We really enjoyed our stay at this handsome abode. the decor was something out of Soho House, we we loved it! Well thought out destination giving you all the privacy you could want. Julie and Damien are great hosts, they're there when you need them and give you privacy throughout your stay. Will definitely book again!
