Step inside and you’ll find a charming retreat, perfect for a couple or small family at any time of year.
Cosy up on chilly evenings, find ample space for dining in the stylish country kitchen, and make the most of your gorgeous garden - complete with furnished patio and an outhouse to store your bikes.

Reviews
Our second visit to Jessica’s. Booked again for next year. Love the location and availability of local facilities and walking. Cinema and theatre also accessible and cheap for an alternative evening. Jessica’s is sunny and bright due to plenty of windows and there are walks from the front door. Mr Wright

We love the fact that this area is so dog friendly. Its full of fantastic walks, pubs, eateries and very friendly people. We came last year and fell in love with it.
Jessicas Cottage is in a great location, lovely enclosed garden, and the house is perfect for us and our dog.Hostler
