THE NEST – HOLIDAY COTTAGE

  Wonderful gem. Not only a stunning property decked out to the highest standards with breathtaking country views, our hosts were so convivial and accommodating. Truly hoping we get the opportunity to return.

  Amazing location, very close to Dorking town and other towns but incredible uninterrupted views of the beautiful countryside. Pool is wonderful - warm, easily accessible and larger than I had expected (even from the photos). The property itself is cosy, with everything you need for a perfect stay. The owners are super friendly and helpful, while providing you with plenty of privacy throughout your stay. So much to see and do within an easy distance, we will have to return to be able to do it all!

  Incredibly beautiful location. Lovely and quiet with much to do in the locality. We even regularly saw the local fox out the back.

  If you’re looking for somewhere quiet, beautiful with amazing views and lots of places to walk then this is the place. You have the best of both worlds - explore when/where you want but also lounge around the pool. Julie’s garden is truly stunning. The pool is perfect for a morning/afternoon swim and being heated is an bigger bonus. The best has been done up to a very high standard and has everything you need. We were very lucky to have such amazing weather so could enjoy the pool and sun loungers a lot more. Would 100% recommend to anyone and will definitely be back!

  Everything was great and Julie and Damien were lovely. The nest was clean and spacious with a lovely view. Considerate little gifts left which were very sweet and everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay.

  Julie is a very attentive and welcoming host who ensures the Nest is in perfect condition and equiped to serve as the best spot to explore the Surrey Hills.

  An incredible place on Ranmore Common with spectacular views , amazing walks , yet really close to Dorking and a lovely place to stay . Beautifully decorated with great quality bedding to crockery and a lovely coffee machine and wifi. Julie is helpful as required but allows you to enjoy this stunning place , it is very private we would love to visit again

  The Nest is beautifully located on top of the hill within Ranmore Common between Polesden Lacy and Abinger Roughs and Netley National Trust Parks. The Nest is a charming little garden house, very well designed and maintained with beautiful views over the Tillingbourne Valley.
It is fully equiped and hosts Julie and Damian will do anything they can to make your stay at the Nest most comfortable. If you consider a visit to the Surrey Hills we cincerely recommend staying at the Nest.

  Perfect for our requirements, thank you Julie!

  We had a lovely time spending a week in the Nest. A beautiful property in a beautiful location on top a hill. Amazing views and just the place to relax!

  Amazing place. We loved our time here. Julie has created the perfect spot to unwind and were always readily available. So many walks on your doorstep. The pool was lovely. We intend to return!

  We had a wonderful few days in the Nest. The house itself is beautifully decorated with all the home luxuries you need to settle in - we loved having our nespresso by the pool every morning!
The pool was bigger than we expected and heated so we could use it despite the cooler weather. Julie and Damian were very helpful with recommendations of villages to visit, walks to take and restaurants to try. We will definitely visit again!

  Wonderful calm peaceful place to escape, had a lovely time there

  Had a lovely stay. Had everything we needed. It was the peaceful break we envisioned while browsing Air BnB. The pool and the view were incredible.

  A lovely private holiday cottage in a beautiful area with great walks.
Julie and Damien are welcoming and helpful hosts.
The swimming pool was perfect and not overlooked.
The cottage was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed.
The thoughtful touches were appreciated and gave the property the feeling of a boutique hotel.

  Julie & Damien are wonderful welcoming hosts. The cottage, pool and grounds are even better in real life. It’s a truly stunning location & view. They have thought of everything you need to really live there whilst visiting. Preparing every meal is easy as everything you need is supplied. Amazing walks in the immediate vicinity. Definitely the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in for rest and relaxation

  This is our second visit to The Nest, and it was another lovely holiday. Even though the weather wasn't brilliant, just relaxing in the peace and quiet and watching the wildlife was wonderful. The warm private pool was usable even on the grey, damp days. Julie and Damien are lovely hosts and always friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back for another stay in future!

  When looking for a safe and comfortable place to quarantine having returned from an Amber country I found The Nest. 45 minutes from Heathrow, comfortable for a couple, fabulous views and open skies and a private pool seemed to guarantee an easy time. And I was right. We had a perfect stay.
Hosts Julie and Damien are discreet and take great care to make sure residents of their annex have privacy.
The space is compact but all you need with a comfy bed, sofa and a shower with good pressure. But the highlight is outside. The views across the Surrey Hills would be hard to beat and the aforementioned private pool creates a real holiday atmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough.

  A cozy, light little house in a picturesque place. Perfect for a couple’s retreat.

  We had the most lovely stay here, it really felt like a home away from home. The place was spotlessly clean and was so beautifully styled. The welcome card and gift were such a lovely thoughtful touch. We felt so at home and comfortable, and Julie and Damien were very helpful and accommodating. Stunning views and walks right on the doorstep. Such a peaceful little getaway spot. Thank you so much for our lovely stay!

  This place is just wonderful! We could not be happier having picked the Nest for our little getaway from London! As other guests have mentioned - you can completely feel like home! Will come back for sure.

  A perfect pool away from the city. For us, the week was swimming, BBQ, and an easy kitchen, and a perfect launching point for some walks. Inside the house is no frills and no distractions, which suited us great.

  We loved every moment of our time at The Nest. Julie and Damian's home is the perfect location for anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday. We loved the landscape and the trees. The Nest enjoys beautiful views; it's nestled in an absolutely stunning location. We would love to stay here again and enjoyed every moment of our holiday. Thank you Julie and Damian.

  The Nest is a haven in an idyllic and breathtakingly beautiful spot above the most spectacular countryside. If you need to recharge the batteries, this is the place.

Julie and Damien are perfect hosts going above and beyond to not only be perfect hosts but to be kind and charming people for whom nothing is too much trouble. Anything that I needed from freezer bags to an extra blanket were produced instantly.

The Nest is immaculately clean and beautifully furnished with Julies impeccable interior design skill. The pool is gorgeous, private, clean and tranquil.

Silent Pool provide delicious local gin with Mandheeras mouthwatering curries and the superb Kingfisher Farm Shop with lovely fresh produce and delicacies that would not be out of place in Harrods food hall.

There’s plenty to do and see with superb walking, picture perfect country villages and vineyards nearby. In short an immaculate and tranquil oasis.

  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
