18 guests' feedbackPerfect location in the quiet outskirts of town with stunning views of the mountain from the patio. Well equipped and spacious cottage, everything in working order.
It was wonderful with our 3 dogs. The large yard is well fenced, close to the walkways and square. The check-in and check-out went smoothly. Big TV with all the channels.
We had such an amazing time. The accommodation was centrally located and only a quick walk to the town square. The accommodation itself was cosy and comfortable. We had eagles and owls nesting nearby, which was a real treat. We had heaters and lots of blankets, so we were very cosy and comfortable. The only thing we struggled with was a tin opener and sponge. The fireplace chimney was also broken, so after a few hours of having the fire on, we had to air out the place.
The accommodation was first class!
Excellent, we really enjoyed our stay. Such a beautiful, stylish cottage. Loved the porch with its beautiful view. Spotless clean and comfortable. Would love to visit again and most definitely recommend to everyone.
Wonderful place. Beautiful and so close to town!
Jesshil offers convenient access to the town center, with Clarens Conservancy Trails just steps away. Our golden retriever thoroughly enjoyed the expansive garden and observing the surroundings from the deck. The kitchen is well-equipped for self-catering needs, and both the bedrooms and living areas provide comfortable accommodations. While the addition of hand-washing soap in the bathrooms would further enhance the amenities, I do suggest that housekeeping pays closer attention to cleaning the showers to remove any insects, spider webs, and hair. Additionally, ensuring the cleanliness of the 'clean glasses' in the kitchen would be beneficial. Despite these minor concerns, our stay at Jesshil was delightful, and we would certainly choose to stay there again on future visits to Clarens. Furthermore, I must commend the efficient and friendly communication with the property owner. They graciously accommodated our request for a late check-out, which enabled us to fully enjoy the Clarens Conservancy Trails on our last day and return to the cottage for a refreshing shower afterward. Their flexibility greatly contributed to our overall positive experience at Jesshil.
We had a great time staying at Jesshil's place and would recommend the accommodation to anyone.
Well equipped and very centrally located.
When collecting the keys around 13:15, the office was closed although the time frame for collection of the keys said 14:00 at the latest. Luckily, the friendly shop owner adjacent to the office managed to get hold of the lady before she left. We had an unforeseen visitor at the door, asking to wash the car, even though the motor gate was closed (not locked though).
Yes, beautiful surroundings and beautiful place. A definite option for a longer period.
We enjoyed it very much. Walking distance to restaurants. Will use again for sure!
Lovely and cozy. 1 or 2 small extras will add to the treat. Will definitely stay here again. The small piece of dirt road to the house (maybe 10 m) is a bit rough, but don't let that stop you, the gem of a house is worth it.
Accommodation was comfortable, but attention could definitely be paid to smaller details. No soap or toilet spray in bathrooms, and the shower is either boiling or freezing cold. As soon as you touch the cold water faucet, there is no hot water. Definitely not pet friendly for smaller dogs either, as our Jack Russell came out at the gate, as there is a big gap, and dogs on all the properties around cause quite a story. If you're only looking for accommodation for one night, it's okay, but not too ideal for the long term. The road home was a mass of mud, and smaller vehicles would have been stuck for sure. It was like this after a lot of rain/snow, but just something to keep in mind. No washcloths in the kitchen, and most items in the kitchen were dirty and full of dust as well.
It wasn't bad, but a lot of little details that were overlooked that might make things a little more comfortable/tidy/cleaner. Preferably also need a tall car as the road there gets a bit rough.
No, for us it was a disappointment. The fridge was not working, water was leaking from under the fridge. I tried 2 different extension cords. The bed had used linen on it. When we opened it, the bed sheet was crumpled. I'm old enough to know when a bed is made with fresh linen. Pillow smells horrible. The shower is the worst I've ever seen, you stand on an aluminum floor, drove to town and bought patches. The shower is pathetic. No security door. No soap or shampoo. Luckily we only slept there one night. If you like rustic, this is probably your place. Then found a terribly decent house at a reasonable price and then continued to live there. The cost is also exorbitant when I compare it to other decent accommodation. Disappointed.
