Guest Reviews

• Billy (10/5): 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.
• Daryl (8/5): 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.
• Robert (9/5): Brilliant stay at Robinhill Garden. Hosts were very helpful and had a peaceful nights sleep. Great value for money -
• Fiona (7/5): I would return. - The friendly welcome from the host; quiet house set in lovely gardens in a great location. The house was warm and clean. The en suite was small.
• Hay (4/5): 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.
• Guest (4/5): 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 refund.
• Quentin (9/5): - Check-in hyper bien expliqué, toutes les infos nécessaires données en avance, et une chambre parfaitement confortable à quelques minutes à pied du centre ville. Comme dans pas mal d'endroit, pas de volet ou rideau occultant. Au moins on sait s'il fait beau ou non de bon matin !
• Michael (3/5): 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.
• Margaret (10/5): 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.
• Olga (8/5): Excelente value for one person. - Excellent value. Perfect for a one night stay for one person. The breakfast was in different places . It would be rayed to have it all in one place
• Rastislav (9/5): - Wir hatten das Glück, allein im Haus zu sein, um das sich Simon sehr gut kümmert. Schön, dass wir ihn vor der Abreise noch kennenlernen durften. Das Haus hat eine tolle Lage und ist sehr ruhig gelegen. Wir haben es sehr genossen und uns gefreut, eine so tolle Unterkunft gefunden zu haben, die von viel grün umgeben ist. Die wichtigsten Dinge im Ort (Restaurant, Shops) sind in wenigen Minuten - auch zu Fuß - zu erreichen.
• pierre (8/5): -
• Ailsa (6/5): 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.
• John (10/5): Lovely location, great facilities, 100% clean, very friendly helpful staff! - Beautiful location, excellent instructions about how to get there, very good communication with the host. Lovely, clean room with all the facilities I needed. Wide variety available for breakfast 10/10 Many thanks!
• Billy (9/5): 1 night solo stay, August 2025. can't fault robinhill, I'll definitely return. - Robinhill is a beautiful house in a quiet location, but less than 10 minutes walk from town. My room had twin beds, en suite shower, a breakfast tray had been set up out my room with fruit, cereal bars, tea and coffee etc. Cereal and other items were in the kitchen area, I'm not a big eater in the morning so can't say exactly what was available in the kitchen as I just had fruit and cereal bar. I really enjoyed my stay, very relaxing and peaceful. There is no TV in the rooms, I do like a bit of TV before I fall asleep but this wouldn't stop me returning as everything else was excellent.
• Dereck (4/5): Disappointing. - Not much - moved on after one night. Poor breakfast - seated at a single table outside room - seemed a strange arrangement Toilet/ shower VERY cramped.
• Ida (10/5): Rustige locatie, in 10 min wandelen ben je in het centrum waar verschillende pubs en restaurantjes zijn. De stad ziet er - De locatie Niets
• Edwin (8/5): - In overleg kon ik eerder inchecken omdat ik door slechte weersomstandigheden mijn route moest inkorten.
• Lachezara (7/5): Overall good stay - Location and nice host The water facility- it was so noisy and the breakfast was only bread and jam+fruits It could have been at least real butter
• Desmond (10/5): Exceptional -
• Robert (10/5): Great room and location - Ease of checking in. Communication with the hosts was excellent. Location, information about the property and the local area. Layout of breakfast was great. Section of breakfast options was very good. My only real complaint would be the size of the shower door as I am a larger chap... but that is not their fault.
• Laura (10/5): Lovely accommodation and host - Very comfortable accommodation with the use of a sitting room. situated in a lovely area with a friendly host that didn't live at the property.
• Ifor (7/5): Good -
• Aileen (8/5): Fine for a night or two - Simon was an excellent host and fantastic communication. Lovely location in a quiet leafy suburb but still walkable to the town centre. Could have been cleaner, there were spiders webs in the room. It's a bit faffy to have to to go one location for cups and teabags, another for the kettle, and another for milk.
• Hare-walker (8/5): Enjoyed the location and homely atmosphere - Excellent communication from host.Homely atmosphere.Breakfast choice was good.It was good to see the deer in the garden I thought that the bathroom was too cramped.Too much in a small space. Bed not that comfortable. My wife wasn't happy having to take her shoes off when entering the property because she was concerned that having bare feet on the carpet could cause atheles foot with lots of people treading on the floor. It would be better to have plastic covers to put over shoes.
• Catherine (8/5): Quiet, clean and comfortable, just what I wanted. - Very quiet location, beautiful gardens.
• Kpmckenzie (10/5): Absolutely wonderful place! - Beautiful, clean, large, and spacious house in a beautiful and quiet lication. Ideal for relaxation. Simon was an amazing host and left clear instructions on how to gain entry to the house, as he is not always there. Breakfast items were laid out for us at a designated table. I can't praise this establishment enough, and my wife and I would love to come back. Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful place to stay.🙏 I liked everything!
• Anonymous (8/5): Clean, quiet and comfy, all I need. - Very private for a good night's sleep, would go again.
• Kathryn (8/5): Very good -
• Douglas (9/5): Superb -
• Nicole (6/5): pleasant - The bedding was not ironed
• Heidi (8/5): Very good - Welcoming owner. Basic comfortable room at great value.
• Zachary (10/5): Perfect stay! - Very private house only a short walk from the beautiful town. Simon was a pleasure to meet and talk to. The facilities and room were just as we were hoping. Will be going back if in the area again, definitely. Nothing to complain about at all.
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• Melanie (6/5): Pleasant - Everything DIY
• Anonymous (10/5): Quiet and peaceful house. Clean and comfortable - Lovely quiet house. Clean room. Help yourself breakfast, real coffee and no little tubs of milk. Bathroom was a bit of a squeeze
• Kerracher (10/5): Very very peaceful a lovely break - Self service breakfast very good No seats in garden
• Darren (8/5): Very good - Quiet location.good communication via text messages. Very small ensuite bathroom, no staff on hand.
• Ryan (10/5): Excellent value for money and would definitely recommend! - Excellent property and very attentive host! Nothing
• Julia (10/5): A nice quiet and peaceful location - The host's communication was excellent and I found the nice quiet and private location very easily - I turned up by bike. The room was spacious and I had everything I needed and the shower was great after such a long day. Thank you. No faults
• Garry (8/5): A great place for a relaxing stay - The location was ideal, and very quiet, which made for a restful evening after my long drive. Nota deal breaker, but there was no TV
• Peter (9/5): Superb -
• Robert (9/5): Superb - Good friendly communication from owner, clean, comfortable, good location.
• Cassandra (8/5): Simple, quiet retreat - It’s so peaceful. The beds were really comfortable. Everything was clearly explained. How peaceful it was
• Stacy (9/5): Superb - Clean and tidy. Simon was very helpful and pleasant. Garden needs a tidy and could do with some seating to enjoy the outdoors when nice.
• Peter (8/5): Different and nice - A different type of place to stay like a cross between and hostel and staying with a relation who as lots of rooms. Homely and friendly place.
• Bala (8/5): Very good - Everything was good, facilities and staff Only issue is the road to the property was too dark to see - some lighting would be beneficial but otherwise good
• Jim (4/5): Disappointing - I was expecting a proper B&B, but I never saw the owners at all, There was a DIY breakfast of toast and cereals , and milk in the fridge. Considering the price for the room was equal to a good B&B/ Guest House, I feel it was over priced, and a disappointment.
• Steve (10/5): Exceptional -
• James (7/5): Good -
• Alexandra (9/5): comfortable and relaxing environment - A very tranquil and comfortable B&B No complaints

• Tomphyl (9/5): Fine! Very grateful. -
• Scott (9/5): Great Communication Very Quiet and Very Clean - The location was good for our needs, the owner was perfect with communication and told us everything we needed to know. The rooms were very clean and perfect again for our needs. The breakfast was simple but there was certainly plenty to choose from and suited most dietary needs. Overall I would certainly return. In the three bed room we had a separate toilet / shower / bathroom which was very big. BUT in the twin room the toilet / shower room was quite tight for space. Nothing an issue for us but a larger person would find it a bit of a squash.
• Donald (8/5): very good would use next time in the area. -
• Norman (10/5): Location and hospitality were excellent - Easy access to centre of Forres. Walking time 10 minutes. Quiet location For the purposes of my visit this question N/A
• Simon (7/5): Good -
• Williamson (10/5): Exceptional - A very peaceful place to relax after work. The staff have gone out of there way to help in every way.
• Ian (5/5): Passable -
• Niall (10/5): Exceptional -
• Emma (9/5): Quiet, clean, comfortable. - Clean, comfortable room. Easy to find and park. Simple self service breakfast but with several options. Great communication on check in and arrival process. Nothing
• Donald (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peters (8/5): Very comfortable stay in a quiet, peaceful spot. - Very quiet and peaceful location. Very helpful host. Easy self check-in. Good breakfast. Very clean. Ensuite bathroom was tiny! Not a problem for us but might be for some.
• Martin (8/5): Very good -
• Lesley (9/5): The team at Robinhill Gardens were great. Really helpful and communicative. - The property was tucked away in a quiet part of Forres and the room while not huge was sufficient for my needs.
• John (9/5): Outstanding value for money - Well appointed and good location
• Lynda (10/5): Comfortable with all needs met and great communication between the host and guests. - The location is in a very private and quiet spot. Every detail has been covered ie iron, hair dryer, torch, small mirror in bedrooms which women like to have when there isn’t a wall mirror😊 ample breakfast cereals, variety of milks, juices, ground coffee, fruit. Mostly there are no staff at the property however Simon messaged regularly to check if anything was needed. Nothing I didn’t like.
• Stephan (8/5): Very good - Very cozy beds and good Wifi.
• Glen (5/5): Passable -
• Tony (7/5): A different but pleasant place to stay on a cycle tour of the Moray coast. - Lovely quiet location. The open common areas in the house were conducive to relaxation. Sheltered cycle storage space. Didn't know what to expect. Very cramped en-suite facilities. Inadequate breakfast provision.
• Jaroslaw (9/5): Superb -
• Rice (9/5): Relaxed Robinhill Garden - The location of Robinhill Garden is exquisite. On the South East Side of Forres in a very quiet and idyllic position, Robinhill Garden is a quiet haven away from the drone of everyday life. The communication with Simon was very clear and informative. Check-in is remote with a code pad on the front door. The room was very clean with a compact en-suite; great for one person, but may have been a squeeze for a couple. There is a great communal area providing all amenities you require; my request for iron and ironing board being dealt with very swiftly. Breakfast is more than ample, with cereals, toast, fruit juices, fruit, tea and fresh coffee. Overall a very enjoyable stay.
• Brian (7/5): Good -
• Maciej (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean, very quiet, very comfortable, with free car park and breakfast. Caring staff. I will come back All ok
• Robert (7/5): Unique - Clean, good location. Good value, though I would have preferred to pay more for breakfast. Host responsive to texts and helpful. Unique, this was the first DIY breakfast, no cooked breakfast, would have also liked decent fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, dates, honey.. Room small. Never met the host.
• Sandy (1/5): NEVER TO RETURN - Nothing, I could not wait to leave. The whole place was a mess. The ensuite bathroom was not big enough to fit in, let alone shower and use the loo. I had to use the " Communal Bathroom," which was absolutely filthy. The bath and behind the toilet seat. Not to mention filthy sponge on basin and in bath. The garden is a mess.
• Janet (9/5): Superb -
• Robert (8/5): Very good -
• Nick (9/5): Clean and comfortable for my short stay requirements. - Clean, Comfortable and quiet. Breakfast basic but plentiful. Interesting library. Could have done with a little more manoevering room in the Shower/toilet room. It was a a bit of a tight squeeze that required a bit prior planning before use.
• Louise (9/5): Found it to be very peaceful and in a great location - Very clean and quiet Would have liked a full length mirror in the room
• Mozzieanne (10/5): Exceptional - That it was really inexpensive. That it was like a home from home accommodation type place. That it was walkable. That it was quiet and rural. That it was not suitable for anyone with lung conditions in that there was a couple of fairly steep hills to navigate in the last leg of the walkable journey to it. Otherwise a perfect place to stay. And privacy and rural. Whilst still in the town.
• Naira (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was wonderful, the owners were super receptive and the location is close enough to the pubs to walk but far enough that I was able to see deers in the morning. I loved staying there! The room is a little bit overcrowded with furniture, and I missed an outlet close to the bed. the only one available is hidden under the desk. However everything was clean and impeccable! Highly recommended for solo travellers.
• Steve (10/5): Exceptional -
• Colin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maxine (7/5): Very relaxing. - The breakfast provisions were excellent along with the breakfast area. N/A
• Peter (8/5): Very good -
• Chris (7/5): Good -
• Andy (10/5): Exceptional - Everything, good communication, lovely relaxing lounge/kitchen area. Nothing.
• Chris (4/5): A rather cold experience altough after my complain the manager absolutely try to help and promise th - Breakfast was poor. It was all do it yourself and no warm porridge for instance. A loaf of bread for 4 days, so rader old the last day. But every morning a bowl of grapes. 1. A cold house! / it was freezing cold, we had to sit with our coats on in the evening. Luckely I had a hot water bottle with me. 2. We had to put of our shoes when entering into the house, but we had no slippers, so the floor was stone cold. 3. We had a cramped bathroom, sitting on the toilet means open de doors of the shower. A bathroom for tiny small persons 4. The do it yoursrlf breakfast, with only hot tea available. This was not mentioned on the site.
• Andrew (1/5): A really bad experience and would not recommend it to anyone. - I did not stay for breakfast, so I am unable to make any comment. It was an experience I would defintely not want to go through ever again. From the moment I stepped over the threshold to moment I left the place I just felt very uneasy about the place. I was just so keen to get out of the place, it was just not me! I can't list what I felt uneasy about but it just gave me a bad experience. I don't wish to go into the detail except I did ask that a partial refuind and nobody has got back to me. I do not wish to discuss any further, as said it was not for me. Thank you.
• Fiona (8/5): Very good -
• Chris (9/5): Superb -
• Chris (9/5): Superb - We were leaving very early in the morning and with fruit, tea, coffee, cereal etc all available for us to help ourselves before we left it really suited us,
• Phillip (1/5): Bad -
