"Fabulous setting, the garden in spring must be stunning, worth a visit in its self."
I was made very welcome by the owners, Judy & Simon.
Very clean & tidy.
The only useful improvement would be the addition of washing/drying machine.
I was sad to be told the House & Studio is currently being put on the market.
Thankyou again Judy & Simon.

"Although I was the only occupant, it was spacious enough for two people."
The hosts though were great, thoughtful in small and large ways and I would definitely return. There was plenty to do within the area. Sadly the weather wasn't brilliant, i.e. not brilliant enough to sit and enough a glass of wine with hosts in the garden, another time ......

If you are looking for a chilled and relaxing holiday and like walking and exploring the area this is a great place to stay. There is also a rail link to Gunnerslake in Cornwall, and south to Plymouth.

"What an amazing place and hosts!"
If you want comfort, quiet, peaceful, beautiful surroundings with sounds of nature - this is the place to go. It is a great place to visit some wonderful Devonshire and Cornish locations but if you want to stay put and just chill out - the gardens (approximately 2.5 acres) provide two private patios just for the visitor, but then if you are happy to explore the gardens and share a place with your hosts, Simon and Judy, then there are lots of nooks and crannies to be explored and enjoyed.
The property itself is a clean, well equipped, comfortably furnished studio apartment with lovely views of the surrounding garden and large veluxes which provide natural sunlight all day long. It is a place where if you do want just to stay and relax all of your visit, you'd feel comfortable doing so. If you want to explore the areas you would obviously need a car for some locations but there is a train service that runs to Bere Ferrers and to Plymouth which is just three-quarters of a mile away. Also there's a bus service out of Bere Alston. There are lots of brochures for places of interest in the apartment.
The welcome we received from Simon and Judy was more like 'old friends' meeting up again - they are very hospitable, interesting and genuine folk and we loved our stay with them. They provided a Welcome Pack which was very unexpected but most welcome as whilst we had taken some necessities, this package kept us going for a couple of days whilst we rested from our journey down from the Midlands.
We definitely recommend this lovely property and would like to return again some time.

"We had a wonderful stay at Robins Rest and received a lovely warm welcome from Judy in the amazing gardens."
The studio apartment was more than we had expected and the welcome goodies and flowers in the room was a nice touch. Once unpacked we explored the grounds walking along the babbling stream which passes through the grounds and found many seating areas to sit and reflect. Simon was a wealth of information about areas to explore in Devon.
This holiday accommodation was 5* with everything we needed. Thank you once again Judy and Simon would certainly recommend your idyllic property.

The surroundings are a paradise for gardeners, nature lovers & romantics alike. The apartment is compact but beautifully appointed with 2 private patios on which to chill & listen to the music of the stream as it descends to the moor below.

"A beautiful studio apartment in a stunning, tranquil setting with various seating areas to enjoy the gorgeous gardens."
Simon and Judy were the perfect hosts with plenty of local knowledge to share, nothing was too much trouble. Ideally situated for exploring the area, from the moor to the coast with a wealth of NT properties, the Drake Trail and the Tamar to visit or just relax in the gardens with a glass or two from the local brewery or vineyard.
A personal thank you to Simon and Judy, we enjoyed our stay very much and definately recommend for an amazingly relaxing break.
All the best, Debbie and Andy ☺

"Had a fabulous week staying at Robins Rest."
Great location for exploring the local areas and further afield, by jumping on the local train or bus, we did both and loved the fact that we didn't need the car and explored different locations each day. Simon and Judy were great hosts, and made us feel very welcome with a beautiful welcome pack on arrival. We would highly recommend this 5 star accommodation with its amazing gardens and not forgetting Gordon's Corner a fabulous place for a gin and tonic.
