“The holiday home was extremely cosy and very well furnished.”
We were rather worried before arriving as we could not find any online feedback from previous customers.. On arriving, we realised the reason for this. We were only the third pair of visitors, the previous were in March/April 2017, as the owner has only recently moved into the area and has spent the winter of 2016/17 completely renovating and re-decorating the property. Everything in this holiday home is virtually brand new! The owner, who lives next door, was extremely pleasant and very helpful when we needed advice on the local area. We had a great week, walking various sections of the Pembrokeshire coastline, and the 2 person holiday home was a perfect place to return to each evening. My partner immediately loved the homeliness of the property and she normally takes some time to adjust to a new, albeit temporary. home. The small town of Hook , in which the property is situated, is very centrally located, which meant we had easy, and relatively fast, access to the southern, western and northern sections of the coastpath, exactly what we needed. We both thoroughly recommend this property and would like to congratulate the owner on her taste, in refurbishing the property. and the very warm welcome she gave us. David and Elena
