King of the hill

SOME of the Munster region’s busiest business executives have already been through Robin Hill House and will have fond, if not fuzzy, memories.

The Cobh period house, solidly Victorian in age and character, has served its recent time as a niche guest accommodation (three-star) and acclaimed and garlanded restaurant.

It has an almost legendary wine cellar, with 200 bottles of the finest wines to choose from. Its owners Colin and Teresa Pielow's corporate hospitality business meant that key business execs sampled its expensive wares and left sated.
