“Something in the air”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

This was our third time lucky trying to get into the Jays - the other times it was booked up. Why? Must have been those great reviews on Tripadvisor! Does the Jays deserve its good name? The answer is a resounding YES! Speaking as someone who has stayed in B&B's all over Britain - this is one of the very best. From the outside it looks much as any small bungalow and certainly too small for a B&B - but as someone remarked the inside is bigger than the outside. The inside is spotless and the owners go far beyond the call of duty in making their guests welcome. The quality of the rooms is very good and the Garden Room is quite simply sensational. Tea when we arrived and Breakfast on the patio added delight to our stay. The cooked English breakfast was first-rate and better than many expensive hotels. The only negative I would add is that although the guest house is normally quiet being close to an air base there is the possibility of low flying planes. But if you like planes you'll welcome the plane-watching opportunities!

Room Tip: If you're a light sleeper take ear plugs. There can be the odd night-flight from the air base.

“a great welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2011

Excellent service from when I sent the first email. Jenny replied very prompt and we felt very welcoming from the start. We were met at the door offered refreshemnts. the room wassuperb, spotless, light and airy. Plenty of towels. Breakfast was wonderfu,cooked to order. The Jays is ideally situated for visiting RAF Brize Norton, is in walking distance for Carterton and a short car ride to Cotswold wildlife park. We will be returning and will recommend it to our freinds and family who are visitng family on the RAF base.

“Home from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2011

The Jays was just like being home from home in many ways. The proprietors had obviously paid attention to detail and had forethought about all those little things that you might forget to take with you. It was fairly luxurious for the cost and the owners were friendly and very welcoming - nothing was too much for them. I would definately recommend this place to stay as a base for the Cotswolds.
