Guests say
Jasmine Cottage is frequently described as a cosy, well-equipped retreat with a homely atmosphere and tasteful interior design. Guests appreciate the generous welcome hamper, comfortable bedding, and the property's quiet location, ideal for exploring the Cotswolds. Some concerns were raised about parking, heating, and hot water issues, but these were not universal.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean and well-presented, contributing to a welcoming and comfortable stay.
The cottage is praised for its peaceful location, proximity to walking paths, and local pubs. However, some guests mentioned parking difficulties and nearby road works as minor inconveniences.
Comfort is highly rated with mentions of a cosy fireplace, comfortable double bed, and a pleasant garden. A few guests noted the mattresses could be improved and the high tog duvet was not suitable for hot weather.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-appointed kitchen. Criticisms include the lack of a walk-in shower and occasional issues with heating and hot water, suggesting some maintenance is required.
Guests frequently express gratitude for the thoughtful welcome hamper filled with local goodies, although it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed with every stay.

Jasmine Cottage is a beautiful 300-year-old Cotswold stone cottage nestled in the quiet, unspoilt village of Windrush. Surrounded by National Trust land, there are numerous walks in the stunning Windrush valley leading to water meadows and idyllic villages. Wildlife and birds are abundant and you will often see foxes, badgers, hares, deer and many beautiful species of birds and wildflowers. It is a perfect cottage to relax by the fire and unwind.
Your home-away-from-home is equipped to make your stay as relaxed as possible with antique furniture, designer sofas, a claw-foot bath, luxury Molton Brown toiletries, comfortable beds and big fluffy bath sheets. This is the perfect cottage to escape from the pressures of the world without having to climb into a car.
Enter this pretty cottage into a light-filled hallway with stone flooring, mullion window and plenty of space for muddy boots and coats. Through the latch door is a cosy sitting room, with exposed beams, two mullion windows, a window seat to watch the world go by, and of course, the beautiful stone fireplace with wood burning stove laid up and ready to light on your arrival. The cottage kitchen is to the rear of the property and, although small, is filled with light and well-equipped with everything you'll need to prepare and enjoy the wonderful local produce on offer. A small dining area in the kitchen leads you out to the charming patio with garden furniture where you can enjoy al-fresco meals on warm summer days whilst admiring the wonderful garden foliage and flowers which surround you. Climb a few steps up to the main garden area, mostly laid to lawn with herbaceous borders with a bistro table and chairs. Parents will need to be mindful here of a 5' drop back down to the patio area, shielded by a hedge.
When you want to eat out, the historic Fox Inn is a 20 minute walk across the fields. Walkers will enjoy the two mile ramble along the valley to the National Trust village of Sherborne, where the village shop serves excellent breakfasts, lunches and delicious homemade cakes.

The Cottage is very elegant and perfectly decorated. The living and fireplace are excellent and the overall atmosphere in the rooms is lovely and cozy. We loved our time there with two small kids and would recommend to anyone! The location is also superb, in a quite part of the Cotswolds' but a short drive from most places. The Fox Inn next door and its fish and chips were divine! Only drawbacks in the cottage are the bed mattresses - they are old and quite uncomfortable. With new quality ones the experience would have been perfect to very high standards! One last thing to keep in mind the kitchen is rather small - smaller than what it looks like in the photos. But for us it worked fine as meals with kids are never too static :). Check-in and check-out was excellent and the cottage was nice and warm at all times!

Would have given 5 stars but cottage hadnt been cleaned properly and a lot of dust and cobwebs present. We had to buy kindling for wood burner and the heating was controlled via Hive system- it would come on for a few hours but after that it was locked so we were very chilly most evenings. Mattress in main bed very old and uncomfortable- no protector either. On a positive note cottage was very well equipped with enough crockery and cutlery for ten people! Lovely welcome hamper too.
