Perfect location for us to visit Freshwater West for the most incredible sunset at high tide, Fresh water East only a 5-9 min drive away beautiful quiet sandy dog friendly beach and the majority of Pembrokeshire coastline. Property was clean and fantastic communication with the owner who was very helpful and friendly. Rooms were spacious and amenities in the property all in working order. We would definitely stay again. Thank you

I specifically booked this property for its private, secure garden and position to a beach. Also the reviews said how peaceful it was. The garden was perfect for us and our dog, with lots of sunshine, the lane the cottage is on was very quiet and we had a lovely 45 minute walk to Freshwater East via the lane and a cut through coastal footpath to the beach. The cottage was comfortable, clean and welcoming, it supplied everything we needed, washing up liquid, kitchen roll, cling film, bin bags, liquid hand soap etc the sort of thing I would normally take with us on a UK holiday. Hodgeston was perfectly positioned for our day trips: Tenby, Saundersfoot, Marloes, Dale, Barafundle Bay and St David’s. We fell in love with Pembrokeshire and we will visit again and would be very happy to stay at Rooks Retreat.

The location was great for seeing the local sites. The home was comfortable, but needed some attention for improving cleanliness (upstairs, closets and bathrooms) (mold in bathroom and closets).

Dear Dan, thank you for your review. It's great that you liked the location and found the cottage comfortable. I am sorry that you found the cleanliness in need of improvement. We take the cleanliness very seriously and immediately made a careful inspection of the bathrooms and closets. We found several small spots of mould, which were dealt with very swiftly, thank you for drawing our attention to this issue. We will also pass your comments to the professional cleaning company that we use to clean the cottage between the guests' stays.
