Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found The Robins to be exceptionally clean, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a minority of reviews mentioned cleanliness concerns, which slightly impacts the overall high rating.
The location is highly praised for being central, quiet, and within walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants, making it an ideal spot for a holiday retreat.
Guests consistently describe the property as spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable, with a homely atmosphere. Some guests suggested improvements for the elderly or disabled, but overall comfort levels are rated highly.
The Robins is commended for its well-stocked amenities, including games, toys, and kitchen equipment. Some guests felt that additional items like a tumble dryer or smart TV would enhance the experience.
While guests have mentioned a warm welcome and a basket of essentials, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful gestures such as gifts to accurately score this category.
