“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!

- Dee, September 2024

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
Neil August 2024

“Very comfortable, clean and well equipped holiday home.”

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.

- Neil, August 2024

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
Nichola August 2024

“Beautiful location, property was spotless and had everything you could need or want.”

Moira July 2024

“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!

- Moira, July 2024

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
David June 2024

“A really lovely holiday home, very clean and comfortable.”

It is in a great place for exploring Cornwall, and area was very quiet. Would highly recommend.

Lesley June 2024

“We had a wonderful week at Robin Hill.”

The bungalow is spacious, clean, beautifully furnished and well equipped. Perfect location too, only a minutes walk to join the coastal path or enjoy Porthpean beach. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

- Lesley, June 2024

Thank you Lesley for your 10 out of 10 rating. It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed your week and the local beaches. Property Owner
Val June 2024

“Lovely comfortable bungalow.”

Well equipped, spacious and well positioned for the beach, coastal path to Charlestown, Carlyon Bay and going the other way Porthpean beach & Pentewan and good access to main A39 and all other tourist destinations in Cornwall. Lovely self contained gardens. Home from home.

June May 2024

“What a lovely bungalow and so roomy!”

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

- June, May 2024

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. Thanks for taking the time to make a comment. Property Owner
Ronald May 2024

“Super place to stay.”

Close to beach and coastal path. Central to a lot of places to visit

Helen September 2023

“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.

- Helen, September 2023

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

“Cannot fault this property for a great location.”

Extremely well maintained. Hosts / owners are available via text or email. Would suggest the email provided once booked you do make contact to owner before travelling.

Thanks for your nice feedback Lynda. Property Owner
Donna April 2023

“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

- Donna, April 2023

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
Linda April 2023

“Lovely house, great location”

- Linda, April 2023

Thank you for your 100 out of 100 feedback score Linda, we are really pleased that you enjoyed your visit to Robin Hill. We fell in love with its location close to great food, drink and of course dog walks. Property Owner
Wayne October 2022

“Our 2nd time visiting Robin Hill and we absolutely love it here.”

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 !

- Wayne, October 2022

Thank you for your positive feedback Wayne - It's great to hear that you enjoyed your second visit to Robin Hill, the beaches and the Eden Project & Adrenalin Quarry. It's wonderful when we have people coming back and enjoying multiple stays at Robin Hill. Property Owner
Pat September 2022

“Robin Hill is a great house with lots of spaces.”

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

- Pat, September 2022

Thanks Pat for your feedback. We are always working on improving Robin Hill and for example, will be stripping out and replacing the ensuite during the Winter of 2022. Property Owner
Alan September 2022

“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..

- Alan, September 2022
Lynne July 2022

“Lovely bungalow brilliant location .”

had a bit of trouble opening some of windows locks seemed stuck .

- Lynne, July 2022

Thanks for your feedback Lynne, I've checked all the windows and they do all open, but there are two different keys. I imagine the August heatwave has caused them to get a lot of use now. Best wishes Property Owner
Lesley July 2022

“The water was not correct for four adults they would have to use the electric shower in the on sweet and could have done with higher seating in family room .”

Was cold two nights needed heating on for a hour just to take chill off .the cooking facility were great conservatory was brill and dog facility were great and we loved the two rooms for watching tv the dog beachs were great .

- Lesley, July 2022

Thanks for your feedback Lesley. I have adjusted the hot water settings to ensure that there is plenty of hot water in the late mornings and I'm glad that the remote control of the heating enabled me to increase the heating for the rest of your stay. It's good to hear that you enjoyed the rest of Robin Hill and your time in Cornwall. Property Owner
Sue June 2022

“The bungalow was ideal for two couples and their dogs to enjoy a really comfortable stay in a brilliant location.”

The property is extremely well equipped with everything that you would find in your own home and more. The views from the lounge window down to the bay are mesmerising. Al in all a 10 fro us all.

- Sue, June 2022

Thank you Sue for your great feedback. We're really pleased that you enjoyed Robin Hill, the location and the view of St Austell Bay. I hope you enjoyed some St. Austell Bay mussels whilst you were there. Property Owner

“Really a home from home, take your toothbrush and move in.”

Great location for beaches,walks, meals out. Tranquil with superb views.

- Anita, September 2021

Thank you Anita, it's great to hear you describe Robin Hill as a 'home from home' as that is exactly what we hoped to achieve. Tranquillity, with beaches and places to eat within walking distance, is why we love it so much, and why it is a delight to hear that you did also. Property Owner
Sharon August 2021

“Beautiful, comfortable and spotlessly clean holiday cottage.”

Plenty of comfortable living space for 6 adults. In a perfect location, very close to 2 lovely beaches. If you wanted a holiday in a quiet, relaxing location you couldn't ask for anything more. With lots of amenities close by, if you need them. Absolutely fantastic holiday.

- Sharon, August 2021

Thank you Sharon, for your lovely description of Robin Hill and more importantly saying that you enjoyed your time there and in Cornwall. Property Owner
Melissa August 2021

“Lovely place to stay with coastal views.”

Beautiful hydrangeas in the garden too. A lovely spot and a very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and made full use of the facilities. Great family lounge as well as designated dining room and other lounge also. Would definitely recommend.

- Melissa, August 2021
Matthew August 2021

“Wonderful holiday.”

Host was very helpful and the house is in a beautiful location.

- Matthew, August 2021
Kelly July 2021

“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.

- Kelly, July 2021
Gillian July 2021

“A wonderful house in a perfect location.”

The house is in Porthpean, which is away from the main tourist spots and so even in July it was relatively quiet and peaceful. The house itself is spacious and comfortable. Just perfect for an old fashioned family holiday.
