Lovely property and friendly owners. Breakfast doesn’t start until 9 though which Expedia doesn’t specify. The land lady very kindly left me an early breakfast with very tasty cake, which was kind. Thank you !

A small historical gem
We had a bit of a false start as we had a room at the front of the house on our first night and I got to hear the church clock ringing the hour all night long. My husband slept right through but I didn't. Luckily the landlady very helpfully allowed us to move to a room at the back for the rest of our stay and I was able to get plenty of sleep! Quirky old house with small rooms but everything you need. Nice breakfast and home cooked dinners in the lovely conservatory. Very friendly staff made us feel very welcome. A lovely homely place to stay in a great location.

Give this a miss.
Dissatisfied with this accommodation which is 3 beds squashed into a small attic accessible by very narrow steep stairs, negotiating your way through the beds to the small bathroom means bending over to avoid to sloping ceiling, the bathroom containing a bath you have to crawl into has only a hand held shower attachment and is impractical. TV is tiny, the room has only one twin 240v socket, which is by the TV, no usb or other sockets, two tiny roof windows looking out onto a roof, no bedside lighting. My main worry was what would happen in the event of a fire! Despite previous reviews stating that the room has been inspected by the fire brigade, as a host myself I can’t believe this room would meet current safety standards. There is no escape route from this room. Have stayed in accommodation the previous night booked via hotels.com and costing the same, you could not make any comparison, this room in my view should not be let, and is certainly not worth £130 and unlike the other property didn’t include breakfast.

Hi I am sorry you were not happy with the room you should of mentioned it to me as I said I was downstairs I live hear on the premises and maybe issues could of been resolved. The bedroom is in the attic so obviously there will be sloped ceilings. If it had been difficult for you to get in the bath I could of directed you to the shower room opposite your bedroom. I have had an inspection in which we meet all the criteria for fire safe for the building and bedrooms. Breakfast is not included but it is offered to you And all expedia booking companies as a gesture of goodwill. Most people like the attic as it is a character building in a 17th century property. There is another plug socket in the room which Maybe wasn’t visible to yourselves but could of been high lighted if mentioned.

Very disappointed in your comment as breakfast was not included in your package and you were offered breakfast at no cost to yourselves which you had. As for the shower it is a 16th century building so sometimes they are not like big modern hotels with large wall in showers. Regards Jireh House

Overpriced
We found the room to be quite small which is ok, very dated with only one double plug socket, no toiletries in tiny bathroom with leaking shower and not very good for emergency escape if there were a fire with locked door. Compared to other 3 star establishments it was very overpriced at £130 without breakfast considering facilities in room. We didn’t stay and left after a couple of hours.

The rooms are not small but adequate for most people’s need bearing in mind that it is a grade 2 listed building. The double socket has never been an issue but if you wanted a double adapter it could of been provided if you had asked when you came to buy your bottled water. The shower head had just slighted come loose and needed twisting which could happen anytime. The door is locked to the outside balcony as it is not a fire escape and for health and safety reasons and the fire brigade have checked it meets there legal requirements.There are small soap bars on the towels provided and hand wash by the sink. I am sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay but no contact was made to address issues you may have had. As mentioned when I took you to the room Breakfast could of been provided.

Ok.
Is attached to a nice tearoom with good cakes. Warm welcome. Room was clean and nicely decorated. We went for the family room as it was sll that was available. Up in the roof. Has its own bathroom with a lovely bath. However even just with 2 of us it was really cramped. One small double bed and two singles. Nowhere to really put bags , clothes etc. Kept getting in each others way and sloped ceilings so had to creep around the bed stooping. Ok for one night. Walking round the island and definitely had nicer rooms for the same or less money.

Homely stay.
Jireh House is truly old charm and quaint. Lovely personal service from the owner Jan. My room was very spacious and very nicely decorated with lovely linens. I also enjoyed a pleasant supper sitting in the sunshine in the rear patio area of the restaurant. Jireh House could not be more central in the attractive small town of Yarmouth.
