We stayed in the jellico apartment which was perfect for us(2 adults) the location is spot on with everything within a short walk. It took us 5.5 hours to get there so we left @3.30 am to miss the dreaded M25 traffic, we arrived at 9ish had a really good breakfast and a walk around the town. Deb’s (owner) Emailed me the night before asking for ETA and to message her when we arrived which we did, she cleaned our rooms first and told us we could get at 1pm instead of 3pm, very nice. We only had one issue with the TV which was fixed within a couple of hours, great service. For anyone thinking of staying there Alex and Deb’s are fantastic owners and couldn’t do enough for us. A big thank you from Lesley and Myself.In the information the listing mentioned the parking limitations, it is a pain and I should imagine in the height of summer it would be a nightmare (we went the second week in September) I would recommend this property
