  A wonderful cottage and great stay.

  There is some really useful info in the cottage, however the font of the text is really hard to read, some info about bins confusing and out of date (bin dates). E.g. the four wheeled bin at the top of the drive for rubbish, the recycling - put the bins or the bags at the top of the drive? We did our best. The central heating instructions were non-existent so we had a guess at how to use them - would rather have had instructions so we didn't break anything (needed as the kitchen end of the cottage gets quite cold). A little fan on the fire (specific ones for fires) would be great to help push the heat into the rest of the cottage. I did raise the (potential chimney) water leak in the kitchen with the office, so hopefully the owner has been made aware as the ceiling is bowing in the alcove. A little bit of chicken wire or netting on the bottom of the large gate would be great to stop the dogs escaping - we used the windbreaks so we could relax and not worry they were heading out for a swim! None of the above was a major issue at all, just hopefully a bit of info to help improve the property. It was really very lovely and felt like home, thank you :-)

  We enjoyed staying at Jasmine Cottage.

  The owners have put a lot of thought into making it a comfortable base. It is located in a lovely village which is well positioned for lots of local seaside towns and is surrounded by stunning countryside. The bed linen and towels were of superior quality and much appreciated. There was also a very nice welcome pack of goodies. The cottage was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The bathroom is very small and basic but the shower worked well and was hot. Unfortunately the garden was not dog proof, our little Jack Russell slipped through the picket fence with ease into next door’s garden! The neighbours were very nice but had Guinea pigs which Betsy was anxious to get hold of! Consequently we couldn’t let her in the garden unless on her lead which was a shame. The property did not have any logs or starter pack for the wood burner as advertised. This was disappointing as we had been looking forward to using this especially on a cool wet day. Finally, the property is advertised as having a washing machine but there is no laundry basket, pegs or washing line!

  Highly recommended.

  This is one of the best cottages we have stayed in. If you want to stay in a cozy cottage, that is well furnished & decorated, this is worth considering. Close to idyllic coastal & inland villages within 5 - 20 miles. A very friendly Pub with friendly Owners, staff & locals. Drink & Food highly recommended. Local shop (Farm Shop) minutes away in car or 10 minutes walking is a place to visit. You can have breakfast, lunch as well as stock up with local produce 10/10. Friendly neighbours either side. With warmer days coming, if not arrived, the garden ideal to sit out & enjoy a cuppa/beverage in a peaceful environment. Negatives, well not for us, but it doesn’t have a bath, the shower is very good. Some of the places we visited, Exeter 25 miles, Seaton 6.5 miles, Lyme Regis 7 miles, Charmouth 7.5 miles, Branscombe 8.5 miles & Beer 8.5 miles away – Google Maps directions. So many others. My wife & I really enjoyed this cottage & village. Our dog also gives it 10/10. Robert

  We had the most amazing week at Jasmine cottage.

  Kayleigh and Josh were incredible hosts and went the extra mile making their guests feel welcome and at home. We were greeted with a very generous welcome pack which had everything you could need to get started from milk, bread, strawberries, butter and delicious brownies! They also went above and beyond for their furry guests and supplied food + water bowls, poo bags and treats for our dog which was so thoughtful. The garden is lovely and perfect for basking in the afternoon sun after a day of exploring - we ate all our meals outside! The cottage is tastefully decorated and really felt like a home away from home. My only advice would be to not do what we did and order food online! The local farm shop (Millers) which is a short drive / walk down the road has everything you need and so much better than shopping at a supermarket. Highly recommend this cottage and could give high enough praise to the hosts!

  The Cottage is lovely, very clean and welcoming with some lovely homely extras.

  The village setting is also great and just a few steps from a fab pub which served wonderful homecooked food. The Cottage is advertised as suitable for 4 people but the bed settee in the main living room is only really suitable for 1 or 2 nights max as the mattress is thin and uncomfortable so for me it is more ideal for 3. Unfortunately the property had had a leak so the wall in the single bedroom was damp and flaking. The external repair had taken place but the internal decoration was still to be completed. This was not ideal for us as one of our party suffers from severe Asma and therefore could not use this room. The back garden was enclosed and great for our dog. Prob worth noting you are very close to neighbours. This was not a problem for us but if you are looking for private garden or you have a noisy dog then this would not be fair on the neighbours.
