Detailed Reviews
Lovely place. It is close to a pebble beach where my daughter and I searched for sea glass & looked in tidal pools. Amazing views of sunset. Host was very friendly and responsive - in the laundry room, you can do your laundry for free! Was the perfect size for a small family like ours. Easy to make your own dinners and breakfast. Central location. I'd go again!!

Two clean and comfortable picture perfect units await you right off the road, with a view overlooking the harbour. Rain kept us from using the intimate deck with BBQ but our unit had a well equipped kitchen, good wifi and one of the most comfortable beds ever! It was also the only time I have seen both a sewing kit and first aid kit available to use. The gentleman bringing the key was prompt and personable. We wish we had stayed longer and would plan to stay again using this as a home base.

Cute, affordable and everything you would need. A kind and prompt host showed us everything. Laundry on site was helpful for us living out of carryons. Right on the water. Greeting snacks left for us.

There is a small parking lot with two units and a laundry facility just for the units to use. Very handy. The rooms are well looked after and are efficiency units which means a stove fridge and all the things you need to cook your own food, utensils and a BBQ. Out on the back patio you can see a bit of the ocean and a fishing marina. Very picturesque and a tidy clean unit. The man who runs it for the owners is very friendly and came by to ask if there was anything we needed. We would stay again. It is on the same road as the attraction Ryan premises. You could walk there.

Bachelor suite style rooms, everything in the same room (private bathroom). Very comfortable and small. Rooms have a kitchen and barbecue. Nice view out the back door. Convenient location to see the waterfront and Ryan’s Premises Historic Site.

Even though the room is small, it's actually quite comfortable. The kind man who gave us the keys showed us around and let us check in earlier than we were supposed to. Everything is provided that you could possibly need and we were told that if we needed anything else to just come across the road to their home and ask. A very friendly atmosphere indeed. Linens are provided for the pull out sofa as well as extra pillows, blankets, towels, etc.
I've stayed in several hotels, and cottages and this room has the most comfortable bed and pillows that I've ever slept on. My sister and I truly enjoyed our stay and we will definitely be back again. Thank you from Trina and Joanne.

Everything you need for a short stay (2 - 4 nights) in the unit. Separate laundry facilities. Clean and tidy. The bed as described on the information site is a 4’6” wide double bed for those of you used to anything bigger, and it did creak and squeak but was comfortable. There isn’t any storage for clothes apart from a row of 4 pegs in the living area and some hooks on the back of the bathroom door. Nice to have an outside private deck with small BBQ. Fairly quiet during the night apart from local early morning traffic. WiFi pretty fast.

I booked a unit at Robbin's by the sea after reading the description that it is "perfect for 4 adults". The unit itself is fairly clean and the washroom is spacious. The first bed is a very old squeaky double bed and the other 'bed' is a Twin size pull out sofa. you could fit 2 kids on the pull out but not two grown adults.
The rest was fine. The check in was very easy. There was no linens/beddings for the pull out Sofa and when I called the owner, he said I was supposed to bring my own and that it was "cottage style". It was not advertised in the description. Luckily they had some in the laundry room and we were able to use those!
We managed and had a nice stay regardless. It's well located.
You have a fridge, stove, complimentary coffee/tea, cutlery etc.
We recommend this place.. for TWO people.
