Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Robin Cottage to be clean and tidy. However, a few mentioned issues such as a lingering dog smell and dust, suggesting room for improvement in cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views, private beach, and proximity to walking paths and local attractions. The picturesque setting and tranquility are consistently appreciated by guests.
Guests find the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable, but some noted the compact size and limited space around the bed as drawbacks. The cottage is considered well-suited for two people.
The facilities are generally good, with a few guests suggesting updates to kitchenware and mentioning the tight washroom space. The lack of Wi-Fi and lighting in the dog exercise area were also noted.
The owners' friendliness and the provision of doggy treats on arrival were appreciated, indicating thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Asked the owner of the cottage via Sykes if I could move my 3 night stay onto a date in the future and this was declined. I therefore couldn't recommend this cottage out of principle.

Dog walking facilities excellent but could do with some lighting at night when dark in the dog exercise area. Overall we had an brilliant time and would certainly return. Thank you for a great holiday!
