  • "A really lovely bungalow in an ideal location."

    The back garden is fabulous for evening relaxing with the gorgeous lighting! The property is furnished with everything one needs for a short stay. Perfect for a family with older children as it has two living rooms both with tv!

    Thank you Dee for your 5* 100% rating. I'm glad you enjoyed relaxing in the garden and I know what you mean about having the two lounges. Even with our kids being in their early twenties, it makes for a more relaxing stay, when they can go and watch something in one lounge, whilst we can relax in the other lounge. Thanks for leaving feedback and we hope you'll visit Robin Hill again. Property Owner

    Back and front gardens are very well maintained and fully enclosed, our little dog especially loved exploring the large front garden. Information before and communication during our holiday was first rate thank you Mark and Karen. We had a lovely week at Robin Hill and would highly recommend this property.

    Thank you, Neil, for your 100% score and lovely feedback. It's always a delight to hear of families having enjoyed their holiday at Robin Hill and in Cornwall - Having spent many hours the week before your stay working on the garden, your mentioning the garden made my back-ache feel even more worthwhile ;o) Many thanks Property Owner

  • "Everything about Robin Hill was first class."

    The rooms were well appointed and spacious. It was probably the best equipped accommodation we have ever stayed in, everything had been thought of. The cleanliness on arrival was excellent. The bottle of Prosecco in the ice bucket was a nice touch. There was ample parking for our 2 cars. The walk to the beach, although not a long one was very steep. However there is a car park there if walking is a problem. The walk into Charlestown took 20 minutes and again the return is up hill. All in all an excellent holiday property!

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, Moria. Robin Hill is our family escape from day-to-day hassles and reality, and so it is lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay there. I tend to look at the 1 mile, mostly uphill walk back from Charlestown, as my justification for having a desert ;o) Fingers crossed, you'll come back in the future. Kind regards, Mark & Karen Property Owner

    Especially loved the two TVs as we could split into specified viewing! Really clean and airy.

    Thank you June for your 100% score. It's great to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Robin Hill and in Cornwall. I agree that having the two lounge helps keep things much more relaxed when we stay, and I quite often work in the bright family lounge, but like relaxing in the wood-panelled lounge.

  • "An amazing property in a fantastic location, would highly recommend."

    Close walk, 3/4 minutes to two lovely small beaches perfect for families. Coastal path walks to Pentewan and mevagissey and the other direction to Carlyon, Par and Fowey. Ten minute walk into the beautiful harbour at Charlestown and half an hour into st Austell to the lovely brewery and railway station. Close to three major supermarkets and takeaways , if not eating out, but there are some great pub’s and restaurants in Charlestown harbour, perfect place to stay. Robin Hill we will be back ! The owners were also very accommodating with an issue we had prior to travel, can’t thank them enough in helping us out.

    Thank you, Helen, both for your 100 out of 100 rating and for explaining what there is to do on the doorstep. This is exactly why we bought and love Robin Hill so much, and so it's great to hear that you visited them and that you had a good time. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely week at Robin Hill."

    We found the bungalow very nicely decorated and furnished with a lovely garden and kitchen well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Very comfortable beds although a little small but we are use to King size. This is a very quiet area, close to a small beach but we also enjoyed a day out somewhere different every day. Healey’s Cyder farm well worth a visit. It was still a bit cold whilst we was away and the heating is controlled by the owner, however a quick email was all that was needed to make it warmer. Will definitely be returning

    Thanks for your positive feedback Donna, we're pleased to hear you had a good time, despite some wet April weather. We've not heard of Healey’s Cyder farm, so we'll be sure to visit ourselves when we are next at Robin Hill. Property Owner

    The cottage is perfect and has everything you need. There is plenty of space for our two kids (age 12 and 16) and our two dogs who are also very happy here. The beach is lovely , great for swimming ! plenty of walks. We visited the nearby Eden Project this year and the Adrenalin quarry, both great. Hopefully we will make it our 3rd time visiting next year, we are just deciding if we prefer it not as busy in October or wiling to brave the busier summer holidays! Either way the location and property is wonderful !

    ( two sitting rooms ) And a large enclosed garden. But I do feel parts need updating, especially both bathrooms and areas of flooring .

  • "When we walked in the cottage we were blown away it looked beautiful."

    The kitchen, dining room, and lounges especially the bay window overlooking the bay. As the weather changed and we found that the bathroom and on suit were damp the radiators did not come on and we had trouble drying towels and the loo rolls were always damp. We now realise we could have emailed the owner but they were on holiday in Mexico. I went to hoover the cottage and it didn’t pick up anything we took the head apart and it was completely blocked, hair and dirt and fluff. I cleaned it out and it worked perfectly. Perhaps the next people in the cottage got a cleaner one than we did. The other problem was the sensors that activated the lights in the hall and dining room we found a nuisance..

  • "A lovely holiday was had in St Austell."

    The fairly steep location of the cottage did not allow us to walk safely with children and dogs down to the beach. It’s a narrow, windy road with lots of through traffic. A car is a must. Porthpean beach was nice and very safe; however the water activity hut opened once during our 7 day stay and we never saw the cafe open which was disappointing. . Porthpewan Beach was really nice and the activities there were fab! The cottage itself allows easy access with a car to many other places. It was a good size and the bedrooms were all comfortable. Lots of home from home items making it easy to self cater. A refurb has been carried out to modernise the cottage but only to part of it, meaning it’s a little dated in parts. The garden was well kept and allowed a great outdoor space for the children.
