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. ##### Adrienne D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Susan R., Chesterfield 6 Aug 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Rooks retreat Had to spend an hour hoovering up dust and spider webs when we got there. General dirt around shower cubicles (round bottom of door hinges etc), bottom of tap etc. Bungalow badly laid out to include extra rooms i.e. extended bedroom 1 into garage with ensuite which again was not very clean. The floor had been painted over in certain areas and again was not clean in the grouted areas. Kitchen/diner size wise was OK but lounge area was small. Upstairs bedroom 3 was good size with two 3 quarter beds. Bedroom 4 was small with single bed and bedroom 2 with ensuite had king size bed but the angle of the roof caused a height problem. Bathroom door had 1 inch gap between doors, bad crack in the sink and wardrobe/cupboard was very small, Although it says shower over bath, again with the height of the ceiling this caused a problem especially for OAPS. Paths outside were uneven and trip hazards. ##### Susan R.
