We did enjoy our stay and there were many positives eg bathrooms and bedrooms to support family needs. It was great to be able to talk and cook. The enclosed back garden was just right for our dog. Books and jigsaws greatly enjoyed by grandson. On the negative side was the soiled pants in a drawer in the games room :( My husband and I slept downstairs and on a few nights were disturbed by the noise of guests arriving / going out in the B and B next door. The spot lights were activated lighting the room brightly and setting the dog off in fits of barking! Lounge space was … tight. Didn’t appreciate / consider the settee sizes and floor area available when looking at photos. Thank you

Nesting Rooks at the retreat

Overall, an excellent property in a great location. The only reason i didn't give it 5 stars is that the sofas were small and uncomfortable. The rest of the house and garden were perfect for our needs. The rooks were very entertaining building their nests and squabbling over twigs. We would definitely return.Thank you Julia.

Nice house in quiet setting

The property was nice and the kitchen well equipped (except for only one 1 pint glass!) the beds were very comfortable. The downstairs bedroom and walk in shower were appropriate for me as I can walk a few steps and the shower entry was low. The owner sent a nice greeting and although we didn’t need to I felt we could have contacted her again easily if necessary

Holiday

The property had everything that we needed for a relaxing week. There was loads of space for 4 adults and a dog and the garden was secure. Amazing beaches not far away. We love Barafundle Bay beach and we enjoyed our visit to the Bosherston Lily Ponds, Caldey Island and Dobby's grave at Freshwater West. We did walk to Freshwater East which took just over 30 minutes and was a very steep walk down to the beach but a lovely beach. I did contact Julia while we were there and she responded very quickly. The property is a great place to stay.

Relaxing Rooks Retreat

We had a lovely week at Rooks Retreat - even got used to the rasping rooks! Wasn’t as close to Freshwater East as we hoped. It is possible to walk (up the lane from the cottage) towards Freshwater Inn, but there are some very steep steps to negotiate down onto the beach, takes about 45 minutes. The cottage is great, cosy & well equipped. The weather was so good we enjoyed sitting in the garden in the afternoon sun. Easy to make the cottage warm on those couple of cooler evenings. All in all a very enjoyable week.
