Lovely and peaceful cottage with a comfy feel about it the fishing lake would be perfect but there was a lot of weed so made it very difficult for fishing indoor and outdoor pool was a real bonus

1. Jays Cottage future guests note, property much smaller than photos online show, only 2 of us and space was extremely cramped. Beware large coffee table on entering we spent whole week trying to avoid banging into it ! Furniture just too big for such small living area. Website pics very misleading. 2. Small fridge freezer inadequate if you self cater. 3. Access. We encountered difficulties accessing and exiting the property, most especially when unloading car at start of holiday and 're-loading in pouring rain on departure !!! Note front main entrance opposite parking bay for Jays cottage is blocked by 5 foot wooden fence, all luggage has to be unloaded via a circuitous route around part of the complex including the deep gravelled car park, part of an earth track, beware cars passing here, up some steps (tricky with heavy luggage) then under a low archway in a wall (mind your head especially in the dark when security light only works when coming from car park direction not from cottage) , along a path past other holiday lets to a side gate to property. Phew! Access here could be a huge problem for any future guests with mobility \ health issues. 4. Outdoor (large) Swimming Pool. Closed on our first day 10th Sept. What a disappointment. All week it was hot and sunny, who would it have hurt to leave open for a further week, what flexibility?? Classic Cottages failed to let us know about this prior to our holiday. Note: If you want to swim properly you will find the indoor pool disappointing, extremely small with the , temperature of a warm bath !! not refreshing. Two emails were sent to us prior to holiday regarding there being no barbeque at Jays Cottage, this seemed disingenuous compared to the loss of main swim facility during such a hot week. ...

We were sorry to hear that there were areas that were not as you expected. The owners have tried to make the best use of the space there, but we appreciate that it may not suit all parties, so we always try to be open and honest with the photos and descriptions. We try to show the size of the property as best as possible, and only advertise a fridge/freezer, which is shown to be undercounter. The fencing/hedging between the parking area and the cottages provides the benefit of some privacy and security but does mean there is a less direct route to walk to the property; approximately 2 minutes, however, the parking is not advertised as being directly outside, so we do hope that this was as expected. Given your feedback, we have clarified on the website that the outdoor swimming pool is closed outside of the times that it is heated, as we agree, that could have been clearer. Thanks for the feedback and we do still hope that you enjoyed your time here, making the most of all the other great facilities and places to visit from there. Classic Cottages Customer Support...

A lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings. The facilities on Colmer estate are all well maintained. Nice food at the California Inn and a well stocked Spar (that’s more like a farm shop) within 5 mins walk. South Milton sands is a lovely, safe, dog friendly beach with toilets and cafe / bar. There’s also SUP and kayak hire. We loved our holiday at Jays Cottage and wished we’d discovered it sooner!...

Had a fantastic stay at Jay's cottage. Was surprised at how well equipped the place was especially the kitchen with quality china and appliances. The owners have put a lot of thought into making it a home from home and spent a bit more doing it. Everything you need is there, even have Netflix and prime if you just want to veg out later. Outside a little courtyard with table and chairs and umbrella canopy which is lovely. The grounds are lovely too, my boys especially enjoyed the outdoor pool which is clean with plenty of seating around and tables. The pub up the road did good food we ate there twice. Didn't take too long to get anywhere so great base to explore. We would definitely go back again. ...
