Great location, good set up within the cottage, it had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable as were the seats & couch's in the sitting room, the dining room & the outdoor area. It was great that I could take my Jack Russell too: 4 stars.The only issue we had was the cleanliness, I would rate it 2 stars for that. Hopefully it will get better.

Not sure you want to publish this but four ghosts on first night was an experience ..... if you suffer from allergies take anti histamines at this time of year .....
If you are looking for a stay without all the bells and whistles but in a great location then would recommend. Only form of hearing was a woodheater however no wood was left. Great location the property was lovely and original on the exterior however very basic on the inside but did the job once we got the heater going 😊

Reviewer Comments:
Great location and cottage has heaps of charm potential - if only it wasn’t so grubby and poorly maintained. On arrival property smelt like pet urine. Kitchen sink also smelt. Level of cleanliness was poor. Stained carpet and lounge suite. Blood spots on walls I think from squashed mossies as fly screens in disrepair and ill fitting. Also in one room there was a liquid stain on the wall beside the bed that looked like dry vomit. No air con and only one pedestal fan in living room. Dust and cobwebs along with an ant problem. Doona covers don’t look like they are cleaned between guests there was a stain on the underside of one that looked like old blood. No exhaust fan in the bathroom means whenever anyone showers everything get wet. The kettle was so disgusting I went to the hardware store and bought a new one to use. I slo bought cleaning products so I could feel ok about staying there. The is a blind safety catch missing on the living room blind which is a safety issue. The location of the property was fantastic and the stone character wonderful. However this property needs a deep and thorough clean and some much needed upkeep issues attended to.

Reviewer Comments:
The location is fantastic, we could wander around town on foot at the drop of a hat, but it isn't notably noisy. The online entry reflected the reality well. The courtyard is not huge (pictures show that). There is a small stable slot for car parking which offers shade for most of the car.The cottage is in a complex of buildings dating from the old Criterion Temperance Hotel and so it has quirks of layout but overall it is spacious and comfortable. What is might lack in glitz and spa baths it makes up for with character, insulation and a log fire. The main trade-off is the lack of a great view.The place is tidy and the beds are comfortable - we slept well. Kitchen is quite well supplied and as I carry a 'larder' I didn't care that there is no condiments or cafe supplied. Nice local bathroom soapy stuff.The staff were responsive and polite, no issues there.

Superbly located near the waterfront and in the middle of the charming historic precinct of Robe, we found 'Cornerstone Cottage' an excellent base from which to explore the region.
Situated in a fantastic spot near the Main Street of Robe. Quiet and easy. Lots of character and lovely having a fire every night. Comfortable and clean.
A little slice of history and comfort on the coast

Just over the road from the main beach and main street, my partner and I were really impressed with this charming cottage. The weather was cold and wild and the fire place was perfect. The outside area for our two dogs was well protected with high fences and undercover area to have their crates setup for the stay. Highly recommended! We'll be back again :) ps. Do yourself and favour and make a stop in Coonawarra for the wine - Majella was a favourite

Courtyard was great for our dog. Comfy living area and we enjoyed the fun art on the walls in an old Robe cottage.
We enjoyed our stay in this well located and simple cottage. The items of period furniture added to the sense of history that was embedded in the house, so reflective of Robe itself.
This cottage is in a great location so easy to walk to all the shops and eating places in the main street .
The bathroom is up 3 stairs from the bedroom which wasnt suitable for my 87 year old mother .
The windows in the dining room are needing a good clean - full of dead flies etc and cobwebs ! This suprised as as the rest of the place clean .
