The bedding was fresh and smelled lovely. There was everything we needed in the cottage including a thoughtful hamper with gorgeous cream tea and chocolates. They had even left dog bowls, treats and biscuits in a cupboard which is a lovely thought. It was a bit chilly for the garden but it would be fab on a warmer day. The location is lovely and near some gorgeous interesting places such as Beer Quarry Caves and Lyme Regis. Parking was not an issue. We loved our time here, it was perfect and we will come back!

The cottage was cosy and clean, and the beds were so comfortable! Everything needed for a relaxing stay is supplied. Had a slight issue with the lamps on the first night but messaged the owner and it was quicky rectified. No parking at the cottage but never had a problem finding a spot a little further on the road. Great pub on the doorstep and the locals are incredibly friendly. Would highly recommend using the maps in the cottage to take in some walks around the village and the surrounding countryside and finish off with a visit to Millers farm shop for a late lunch. We'd definitely return to Kilmington and Jasmine Cottage.

Bedding and towels not changed. Although the owner sent in cleaners once notified, it put a dampener on our stay. Cottage pretty enough. Disappointing garden as is diagonally across from back of property. Kitchen window overlooks neighbours garden. Local pub very pretty but disappointing meal.
