Guests say
Reef Retreat in Haverfordwest offers a tranquil and picturesque setting with well-maintained grounds and friendly staff. Guests appreciate the clean, well-equipped lodges and the luxury of a hot tub. While some guests encountered maintenance issues and had mixed feelings about the property's dog-friendliness and location, the overall experience is seen as peaceful and enjoyable, with beautiful local coastlines to explore.
The majority of guests reported the lodges to be very clean, with fresh towels and well-kept surroundings. However, one guest mentioned a hot tub that appeared cloudy and unclean after a few days, slightly affecting the overall cleanliness perception.
The location is appreciated for its peace and proximity to the Pembrokeshire coastline. However, some guests felt misled by the promotional material regarding the distance to local amenities and the coastal village of Little Haven, leading to a lower score.
Guests found the lodges comfortable and the hot tubs added to the relaxation. However, issues with patio doors and windows, as well as furniture not matching promotional photos, suggest room for improvement in comfort.
Facilities such as the kitchen equipment and dog exercise area were praised, but several guests experienced maintenance issues with hot tubs, doors, and windows. The site's responsiveness to problems was noted, but recurring issues impacted the score.
While guests mentioned a welcome pack and the provision of towels, there is insufficient information to determine the consistency of thoughtful gestures such as gifts. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such amenities will always be provided.

Welcome pack very informative. The home was located perfectly , clean and stocked with everything youâd need for your stay. Hot tub perfectly located with privacy adjacent to the home. We had an amazing time exploring the local areas Little Haven , Broad Haven , Milton Haven , Marloes , St Davidâs and Whitesands all incredibly beautiful in their own right. Would highly recommend and would 100% return for a future break. To the Reef Retreat owners thank you for contributing to some of the most amazing memories.

Spotlessly clean and well maintained. The kitchen is well equipped for making meals. The towels are so soft and fluffy and smell lovely, l defy any hotel to bed them. Lovely little welcome pack is a nice touch. The hot tub is a wonderful place to relax after a day exploring the surrounding areas. Comfy beds and a lovely hot shower. This lodge really is home from home. The views are amazing. Lovely clean, tranquil site with a great field for the dogs, a walk through the gate here and you can pop into the pub for drinks and food on the site next door. Staff are really friendly and helpful on site. We had a fantastic break here with our two dogs and felt totally relaxed, l would definitely recommend it and we will return.

The accommodation was in a clean state and all necessary facilities were provided. Although there were signs of wear and tear this did not detract from our enjoyment. I could tell that the provided towels were new or nearly new and the kitchen utensils were also in a new or nearly new state. Reception staff were very helpful with some tips on cycle routes. The only minor problem was with the gas oven/grill which required assistance from reception to resolve the correct operation. Contrary to the incorrect instructions in the lodge equipment manual it is necessary to hold in the control knob to ignite the oven and grill. One source of annoyance was chatting from adjacent neighbours in Rimini Lodge while using their hot tub past night curfew which just goes to show how bad the sound insulation is. This is pointed out in the welcome pack literature but I guess some people cannot read or are just ignorant. On balance I would recommend Reef Lodge and Little Retreat.
