  I like to read the reviews on the Cottage we book as i find them really helpful!

  Hope this brief one helps too. We always use Sykes Cottages and Little Freestone certainly did not disappoint and is definately up with one of the best we have ever stayed in. The location was really good for sightseeing and the access to it was very good and easy to find. Good parking outside the cottage. The Cottage itself was excellent! From cleanliness to the welcome gifts when we arrived to the comfy (firm) beds and well equipped kitchen. Lots of storage and appliances were easy to use. No Air Fryer though...if you happen to use one of those! The 3 bathrooms were of a very high quality and the showers were excellent. Bed linen and towels were of good quality and soft! Lots of storage in all the bedrooms and even lovely hangers in the wardrobes. The little private garden opposite the cottage was really lovely and we saw some amazing sunsets in the evening from sitting in there with a glass of wine after a busy day of walking. So quiet and peaceful with no noise at night either. WIFI was very good and we had no problems and so was our phone signal but this might depend of provider. Not too much in the way of shops close by so we had to make sure we had everything we needed before we headed home. Could find no fault in Little Freestone, absolutely beautiful cottage in a beautiful location and would highly recommend a visit.

  A lovely cottage in a quiet and relaxing village setting.

  Good quality fittings and furnishings with a well stocked kitchen. A delightful gift of wine, milk, cake and eggs on arrival. The only drawback is that the owner Jenny, who is a helpful and friendly lady, had recently had a bad experience with renters allowing their muddy dogs to badly soil the upstairs carpets and beds, so now dogs are not allowed upstairs at all. If this had been in the cottage description we would have had to go elsewhere as our dogs sleep in crates in our bedroom at home. There is no gate at the bottom of the stairs, tho Jenny says she has one coming, but our dogs had to be shut in the kitchen at night and the young one cried and howled so we took turns in sleeping downstairs on the settee to stop this and prevent complaints from the neighbours. Other than this we thought the local area was amazing. Dog walks from the door, shops, eateries and interesting places in Newcastle Emlyn only 4 miles away and a fantastic dog friendly beach at Newport. Happy to strongly recommend if your dogs are ok sleeping in the kitchen.

  The facility and location is fine.

  Plenty of crockery etc but the one pair of scissors are blunt and there is no cutting board apart from a cracked wooden one. Not the best for chopping vegetables etc. Conflicting information given on whether or not there is a DVD player. We could not find one. The welcome file has some pages which have at such stage been damp so you can’t read some of them. Not a good impression. Back in October after booking I asked for the twin beds to be zipped together. I w anted to confirm that all was ok. After two aborted 20 minute waits on the telephone, I finally got through after another 15 minutes and was told that the caretakers had been informed of our request. On arrival the beds had not been zipped together. The caretakers claimed they weren’t informed. There are two floor areas (living/dining area and rear bedroom where the floor was very uneven and caused problems in closing the rear bedroom door quietly. Attention to detail overall compared to other places we have stayed in was poor.

  Such a great location.

  Right on the Pembrokeshire / wales coastal path. Milford haven marina was lovely. Fab restaurant, cafe and shops. The location of the house on the riverbank was fab, lovely sitting area overlooking the water. Loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Room for 2 cars to park. Extra area for sitting attached to property. Only a few mentions:- the cottage Sleeps 6 but seating in the lounge area was just for 5 and that was squashed. The flush on the toilet upstairs is very week. There is no garden for the dog to go out to but there is a patch of grass to the side of the property and some nice walks nearby. Lola (dog) loved sitting on the patio looking out over the river, so much wildlife to watch. Really enjoyed our stay, would book with Sykes again. So easy and all booked last minute, the week before. Thankyou.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

  The cottage was lovely and spacious. It was very welcoming and very clean. It was extremely well equipped and we wanted for nothing. We loved the cottage feel and the extra bonus was the burning log stove. The wine and eggs were also an added bonus on arrival! Our host was very friendly and was on hand if we needed anything - we didn't apart from buy logs off of her. She was very generous with the logs for which we were thankful. The weather was also lovely for the time of year. Would definitely go back some time and would definitely recommend. The village itself is very quiet with not much going on and lends itself to lots of lovely walks around the area - exactly what we needed! Wish we could have stayed longer. A perfect base for travelling around Pembrokeshire.
