Interior was good. Will say they need some sort of frosting on glass doors. Exterior was disgusting.

Brilliant Cottage
Jicklings is just a wonderful cottage to spend a holiday in. The decor, amenities, layout - everything is just gorgeous. I would not hesitate to recommend though one slight thing - if you like bath sheets (as we do), take your own as there are bath towels provided. The only thing I could think to say that is slightly negative but it's all personal choice.

A lovely cottage
We enjoyed lovely week at Jicklings Cottage. It is an excellent central location with easy access to the beach, cafes and restaurants and the shops. Check in was straightforward. The cottage has been beautifully renovated and accommodated six of us very easily. Th kitchen is very well equipped and had everything we needed. The only negative points were that the third bedroom is quite small and all three bedrooms would benefit from a little more storage. Apart from that, everything was perfect!

What decor!
A superbly furnished and artistically presented holiday home.
A fan for the downstairs bedroom would have been useful as it was incredibly hot and airless in there in the week that we stayed.
The daily queue outside the cottage for the Fish and Chip shop was initially a surprise but generally not too bothersome.
Thanks for the wine and the cake on arrival.

Beautiful cottage. The perfect holiday stay
Jicklings cottage has been styled thoughtfully and beautifully. The location for us with kids from 15 to 21 was perfect. Central so you can walk 20 mins to the beach and a minute to the quay. A perfect stay.

A wonderful place to stay
A truly lovely place to stay. Surprisingly spacious, and incredibly quiet, given its central location. Very beautifully fitted out, and extremely comfortable. Main bed a bit hard for our liking and made my (fussy) back ache, so we ended up sleeping on the softer downstairs bed. We would definitely like to stay there again.
The accommodation was well thought out and good quality, the beds were very comfortable and main bathroom was excellent. In fact the cottage was surprisingly spacious. The location was perfect. We loved it.

New Years stay in beautiful wells
Jicklings cottage was the perfect accommodation for our 4 day break in Wells
Situated just minutes from the quay it was tastefully decorated and very well equipped
The beds were so comfortable it felt a real home from home
Wells didn’t disappoint for n New year break being busy but not overcrowded with most shops and restaurants being open
All in all a wonderful trip to bring in 2020
