Guests say
Jicklings cottage is praised for its unbeatable central location in Wells-next-the-Sea, offering easy access to shops, beaches, and local attractions. Guests appreciate the cosy, spacious interior and the convenience of on-site parking. The property’s character and homely feel are highlighted, making it ideal for families. However, some guests note areas for improvement, such as cleanliness, maintenance, and modern amenities. The cottage’s quirky layout and steep stairs may not suit those with mobility issues, but overall, it provides a charming base for exploring the area.
Reviews are mixed, with several guests noting issues such as damp smells, stained carpets and sofas, and kitchen cleanliness. However, some found the cottage generally clean, especially bedrooms and bathrooms. A deep clean and more attention to detail are suggested.
The location is consistently praised as excellent, being central, close to the beach, shops, and restaurants, and ideal for exploring Wells-next-the-Sea on foot.
Guests found the cottage cosy and beds generally comfortable, though some mentioned dampness, tired furnishings, and steep stairs as drawbacks. The property is spacious but better suited to smaller groups.
Facilities are adequate but dated, with guests noting the need for refurbishment, improved heating, better kitchen equipment, and a smart TV. Parking is possible for two small cars, but can be tight. Maintenance issues such as plumbing and worn carpets were also mentioned.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

Fantastic location. Good value for money.Could do with having a hairdryer. Good parking for 1 car but if bringing 2 ok if there small.Mentions a welcome pack but this was only a couple of packs of snack size biscuits 3 sachets each of sugar teabags and coffee so not really a welcome pack. This aside I would definitely book again.

We had an excellent week. The cottage is lovely and cozy, the space was great. Beds were comfortable and we had everything that we needed. We had children with us and there was lots of lovely toys and books to keep them entertained. The stairs are a bit steep if you’re limited with mobility but they weren’t an issue for us.The location of the cottage is excellent, right in the middle of Wells and within minutes of everywhere. We managed to fit two cars on the drive which was great as we managed to have day trips out to Cromer and Sheringham too without having to worry about parking. Would absolutely recommend Jicklings to anyone- we’ll be back!

Situated in a wonderful central location, the property is old, as it should be, hence allowances have to be made, but that doesn’t detract from the homeliness. Wells is so typically Norfolk and always charming, slowing down the pace of life vital for a relaxing holiday.
