Guests say
Jasmine Cottage is praised for its tranquil setting, friendly hosts, and delightful animals. Guests enjoy the large garden, hot tub, and beautiful views. The location is ideal for exploring local attractions, and the property is dog-friendly. Some minor issues with cleanliness and comfort were mentioned, but overall experiences were very positive.
Most guests found the cottage spotless, contributing to a high cleanliness score. However, one mention of a not very clean hot tub slightly lowers the score.
The location is consistently praised for its tranquility, beautiful views, and proximity to local attractions, warranting a high score.
The cottage is generally described as cosy and comfortable. However, one guest mentioned a cold bedroom, which slightly reduces the comfort score.
Facilities like the hot tub and enclosed garden are highly appreciated. A comment about the need for bigger pans suggests room for improvement, but overall, the facilities are well-regarded.
Guests mention a welcome pack on arrival, which indicates thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, this score reflects the positive sentiment without setting expectations.

Absolutely gorgeous location, fantastic view overlooking rolling hills. Well equipped home, warm, clean, very close to the c2c, the beaches, & towns & historical sites. Cute pets who pop over to say hello from the owners on the same site. Would love to return
