    The parking is a little bit tight but it's ok. At least it's off the road. 😊

    The cottage is in a great location and is a really nice, comfy cottage. The beds are lovely as they are huge.

    The jewel cottage... definitely a gem of a place! The furnishings make it a cosy home from home stay with all the facilities and more than you could need! The beds are amazing, super comfortable and a definite added bonus after a busy day exploring the surrounding areas. Parking off the road which was an added bonus. The communication from Jo was exceptional and very informative. Would definitely recommend 1000% staying here.

    This was a lovely cottage really well turned out, accessible to everything with beautiful decor. I would recommend to anyone as a very good quality product. One single draw back being the step into the bathroom which requires better signage for the visually impaired. This is a credit to the owners at least 4.9 out of five. Well done.

    Not sure if it was something we did but the water in the shower kept turning hot and then very cold.

    It had everything we needed, was clean and very comfortable. It was very close to the town and therefore the train station (even if it was at the top of a huge hill!)

    would have been good to have information about buses from the centre would have been good to know in advance that it was a long steep climb from the station (particularly hard with suitcases!) some people would want warning about the steep staircases and that one (lovely) bedroom was in the "cellar" and two flights from the bathroom

    very comfortable beds and bedding well equipped

    The walk back up from the town is very steep. Just to be aware for anyone with mobility issues.

    Compact, tastefully decorated and very clean. Beds were very, very comfortable (superking) and shower was powerful. Jo was very responsive. We had a fantastic stay and would thoroughly recommend Jewel Cottage.

    The shower was powerful but alternated between extremes of hot and cold without warning. The fridge was very low - at floor level so that access was not easy. Unfortunately, there was a very noisy party in the pub extension at the back on the Saturday night.

    Comfortable beds, beautifully equipped and furnished, lovely outdoor patio

    The only downside was the very steep hill it’s on but this is mentioned in the listing. We just didn’t appreciate how steep it would be and the parking is tight.

    Ideal location, near pubs and shops. Property was nice and clean and the host was excellent.

    We stayed in the bedroom in the cellar which was lovely and cosy, just a bit of a task in the night to go to the bathroom on the top floor. Stairs down to this bedroom are a little steep and not carpeted.

    The property is in a great location, close to all shops which are at the bottom of the hill. The cottage was lovely and clean and very comfortable. It was very peaceful and quiet and had a good nights sleep. The owner is very accommodating and very kindly put up a banner for our arrival for my daughter’s birthday, thank you!

    The inside of the property is perfect. Loved the decor and it was very welcoming when you entered. The only thing I would look at is the eating area outside. They have planters with dead flowers and that would’ve been perfect with bright coloured flowers in them. Also maybe some twinkling lights to put on at night for sitting out there.
