Guests say
Marina Retreat in Milford Haven offers a well-equipped, clean, and airy apartment with stunning harbour views, comfortable beds, and a convenient location close to amenities and restaurants. While some guests have had issues with maintenance and facilities, the property's spaciousness and quiet setting have been appreciated, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The apartment is generally described as clean and tidy, with specific praise for the bedroom and living area. However, there are mentions of a dirty oven and mould on the balcony, which slightly detract from the overall cleanliness.
The location is praised for its stunning views and proximity to good restaurants and local amenities. It is also noted as a good base for touring the area, despite some guests feeling that Milford Haven itself has limited attractions.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the apartment spacious. However, there are complaints about poor quality mattresses and an old, soggy double bed, which have affected the comfort level for some visitors.
While the apartment is well-equipped, there are several maintenance issues reported, such as a non-functional balcony, rusted windows, and a boiler problem. These issues have impacted the functionality and enjoyment of the facilities.
There is a single mention of the lack of a welcome pack, which suggests a lack of thoughtfulness in hospitality. However, as this is not a consistent theme across the reviews, it is not possible to provide a definitive score.

The apartment was clean, tidy and well equipped. Unfortunately I was disappointed with a few things hence my star rating being where it is.The balcony is not really functional, the boards are broken and generally not maintained. Not a place you could sit out on. The upstairs window is rusted through and when open or closed large flakes of rust fall off. Then there was a boiler issue, this decided to stop working on the second day we were there and we went 4 days with no hot water. This was reported to the landlord and he did try to get it fixed asap but cold showers are not my idea of fun. I’m glad I didn’t pay full price for this apartment.

Nice apartment spoilt by very poor beds, a dirty oven and poor preparation by cleaning staff.The apartment had clearly not been used for a while before we arrived. The sink traps had dried out so there was a distinct smell of drains. Had the place been checked out before we arrived? Definitely not. In all previous apartments we have had, there was a welcome pack. This does not have to be extravagant, but it does set the tone somewhat. The hot water system was turned off which we discovered after some detective work. Instructions on restarting the boiler were complicated. For anyone without technical knowledge, it would have required a call-out. Now the beds were something else! The twins beds in one of the main rooms have cheap, low quality mattresses. They were very uncomfortable. The mattress on double bed in the other main room is old, soggy and broken; sore shoulders and poor quality sleep the result.We did contact the owners the same day we arrived and raised some important points. Their response was luke warm and ignored the main issues. Caveat emptor!Milford Haven itself is not up to much. Once off the waterfront, there is not a lot there. However, if you are willing to travel a bit, there are some real gems to be found.

Fabulous apartment very well equipped very clean and airy stunning location overlooking the harbour from the front and the river at the back. Very comfy beds. Very spacious and quiet. Many good restaurants a few minutes walk from the apartment. Good location for touring the area. It is on the third floor so lots of stairs - but we feel that’s a positive as you have the views and less noise. The fact we would like to return to this property speaks volumes.
