THE NEST – HOLIDAY COTTAGE

  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

  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!
