Amazing host
We have just come back from 4 nights at Jess Cottage and cannot fault the property. The host was amazing, very responsive with questions and even gave me a free night of stay due to a mix up with the booking. They have thought and catered for everything such as a fully equipped kitchen, bunk beds for the kids, the small details like a variety of board games, tv in every bedroom, kayaks and so much more. I have been to the estate a few times and would not hesitate to stay at Jess Cottage again.

Beautiful stay
We were 2 families with kids between 4-8. The property was great in terms of location and cleanliness. It was our perfect home away from home. It was filled with games suitable for older kids and the adults. Helpful to have a full kitchen. Good communication with the property manager. It was raining most of our stay so we are very thankful to have access to the indoor pool!

Gorgeous Location
Overall we had a wonderful stay. The facilities on site are wonderful and the spa/pool was fantastic. Clean changing rooms and relaxing experience. The property itself is very cute but we did struggle being a group of six. there is insufficient space to accommodate 6 people. sofas only seat 4 (small people). The kitchen.is well equipped with really decent crockery and beautiful plates etc. The two double Bedrooms are tiny, you are unable to get into the bed from the side and have no choice to manoeuvre yourself rather like a walrus to get in and out of the bed! There is no where to put a glass of water for example. Both bathrooms are spacious. Other small points include:- There was no plug in the family bathroom Hot tap is extremely hot (would burn a child potentially) Light bulbs i lounge and bunk room didn't work. Cutlery is for 6 but description says it sleeps 7. BBQ was too dirty to use sadly. What three words on the location description brings you to the gate that you cannot access with the code given. We had a great time but feel this property is for 2 - 4 people max.

Disappointment
The property had obviously not been prepared thoroughly for our arrival. Although the beds had clean bedding and the bathrooms were clean there were a number of cleanliness issues. Firstly insufficient towels or the size of party-4 bath towels and 2 hand towels between 7. However I emailed the host who in turn contacted a housekeeping service and that matter was resolved. The carpeting throughout had not been vacuumed and there were remnants of pizza toppings under the table as well as visible dirt up the stairs and in the bedrooms. Outside the property , at the front door, a small brown recycling bin had been left full of rubbish. In the kitchen there appeared to be no saucepans or frying pans - instead a lot of baking trays some of which had burnt food on them. I intend to contact the host with my review because this is a beautiful place to stay which is being let down because of neglect.
