Little Gem stole our hearts. Sue, you are the best hostess!
Little Gem made us feel like a king and queen, our 4-foot child like a princess. It was neat, clean, cuddly and Little Gem's attention to small details pleasantly surprised us. We would definitely make a special trip to Montagu again just to stay there. Cheese board with crackers for us and special doggie treats for Bailey.

We broke away to Montagu for a weekend.
We were in the Studio for a weekend. It is a spacious room and excellent bed and we had a great stay. For self-catering it is a bit limited: the website shows a photo of a kitchenette, but the room only has crockery and cutlery, coffee facilities and a microwave oven (under the TV in a cupboard) as in the room's description . However, that didn't stop us from enjoying the weekend. Dishes should be washed outside (or in the bathroom sink).

We had a nice stay.
I booked for three people and was under the impression that it would be two bedrooms. It was then one bedroom with one bed in the living room. My wife then expressed her disappointment about it and the owner then moved us to a bigger one still one bedroom with one extra bed in the living room, but much bigger and everyone was happy. If there are two of us, we will go there again.

The Little Gem 's response
Thank you for your review. My units are advertised as one bedroomed and are most comfortable for couples and the extra sleeping facilities are provided for children. Adults who make use of this are saving costs by not booking into 2 bedroomed establishments. Couples with children are very happy with the facilities and if I have bookings of extra adults looking to save costs, I warn them that it could be a little cramped. In summer the private garden makes up for any shortage of indoor space.
