“If you want a nice peaceful location but still close to town, Robinhill Garden is perfect.”
+Contactless Check in is well explained and straightforward, room is clean and comfortable, lovely quiet location, beautiful house, but only a 10 minute walk to the centre of Forres. This was my second visit and I'll definitely return again.
−Nothing I didn't like.

“Nice place but no receipts.”
+Clean and tidy easy to find
−If your travelling for work and need a receipt you won’t get one. There’s no receipt and I chased for weeks but the owner ignored all requests for a receipt.

“Room disappointingly small.”
+Location was great and directions to the site were excellent. Key pad to get in was convenient and instructions about how to use it very clear and easy to follow. Room was warm and clean. Bed was comfortable. I was grateful for the kettle. Proprietor was attentive with texts, and rapid responses, but we never met him as I believe he was not at home. Consequently, there was no face to face communication which was a shame.
−The room was uncomfortably small. Especially for two people. There was just room for the bed and little else. The bathroom was also small and rather cold and would have benefitted from a shelf in the shower for shampoo, etc. The breakfast was 'do it yourself' with cereals and fruit juices left out, but we chose not to eat breakfast on site as we needed to be off early. Hall area and stair well were very capacious with lots of spare space so it was a pity that the layout of the house didn't provide a bigger bedroom/bathroom. There was no television, nor a sitting room with a TV.

“Not what I was expecting, cheap yes, but unhosted and sharing with other guests is weird.”
+Quiet location, plenty of breakfast, albeit it was serve yourself and only cold options available plus toast. Cheap overall cost.
−Arrived to find housekeeper there, which was lucky as otherwise we wouldn’t have got in, but he said we weren’t booked. I showed him my reservation and he changed his mind. We hadn’t received any door codes, so we were lucky that he was there to let us in, as the accommodation is unhosted, something I hadn’t been told. Because it is unhosted, it feels like an AirB&B, except other guests are also there staying in other rooms…and joining you at breakfast..rather weird We had no hot water from the taps for the length of our stay. The bedding was wet, which was shown to the housekeeper, he said it was just fragrance freshener sprayed by the housemaid earlier. He didn’t offer to change it. We then had to air our own bedding, it wasn’t swapped which I would have expected. Shower room was tiny, not really big enough for the shower, toilet and sink in that room… everything is in the way. Luckily the shower was hot as it is electrically powered. These issues need addressing, and customers should be notified prior to booking about the strange unhosted set up. I think having wet bedding from fragrance is a bit of a stretch to believe, and havin* no hot water should be reason for some kind of

“A big disappointment”
+A do it yourself affair
−A very small room with very basic fittings. Had bigger bathrooms on boats. Run by remote with no staff at the place most of the time. A big disappointment.

“Superb venue and excellent value for money.”
+Automatic check in not required as I was greeted in the huge hall by a member of the housekeeping team. Room was perfect, nice view of the garden. Spotlessly clean and everything needed for a comfortable stay. Breakfast is self service 24/7 so when I came back from night out I was able to have a refreshing glass of orange juice.
−There was nothing not to like. All well explained in the advert. Would stay again in a heartbeat and thoroughly recommend this superb accommodation, handy for town, but so quiet it is like being deep in the countryside.

“OK if you like lots of notices stuck up everywhere...”
+Very quiet location, good parking, very clean. Lots of communication from the owner. The plus side was we saw a red squirrel in the garden!
−Never saw another soul at the property, be it a guest or staff. LOTS of notices all around the property, e.g. don't do this, don't do that which we found a little bit odd. Plates, cutlery and glasses were located on small tables near to rooms...why not just have them all together for all rooms? Nowhere obvious to wash pots up. Water for drinking and tea/coffee was provided in plastic bottles in the bedroom. Quite a limited choice for breakfast but what was there was fine. I don't think we'd stay there again.
