About this property

Located in the picturesque village of Kilmington, Jasmine Cottage is a pretty, pet-friendly cottage in Devon. The property is located in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Beauty for a family of four's rural retreat, with easy access to local amenities and the coast. After parking in the roadside parking, follow the path up to the picturesque cottage and be immediately welcomed by a charming sitting room; it's the perfect spot to unwind after the day's adventures, complete with a woodburning stove for added comfort, whilst you curl up on the sofa with a good book or your favourite show on the TV. The sofa bed also sleeps one extra guest for flexible sleeping arrangements. Unpack your self-catering essentials in the kitchen/diner and rustle up home-cooked meals using the excellent amenities, including an electric oven, hob and a washing machine to quickly clean your walking gear for the next day. Jasmine Cottage also features beautiful, original flagstone flooring and a door closing off the stairs in the kitchen/diner, making for a pet-friendly holiday home for muddy paws! During the summer months, make dinner an alfresco affair and enjoy some quality family time in the rear garden; your canine companion has plenty of space to bask in the sunlight, whilst you settle into the outdoor seating under the sheltered patio. When it's time to rest, climb the stairs to wash the day away in the shower room, before choosing between two well-appointed bedrooms: a king-size and a single, both with built-in storage space for your belongings. Start your day with a stroll around Kilmington and admiring your picture-postcard setting, where nearby pubs serve well-earned drinks and traditional pub dinners, and the local convenience store offers the self-catering essentials. There is also a farm shop within walking distance with a cafe to enjoy. Take a short journey to Axminster, a larger market town with a variety of eateries from Mediterranean to Indian, as well as the Axminster Heritage Centre for discovering local history. With the beauty of East Devon on your doorstep, walkers and wildlife lovers will be in their element; wander through heathland and wooded valleys scattered with nature reserves, such as Lower Bruckland Farm and Holyford Woods, whilst the breath-taking Jurassic coast is a must for unforgettable coastal paths. Lyme Regis perfect for a family day out by the sea with the Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, Monmouth Beach and Langmoor and Lister gardens for the best picnic spots, whilst Seaton is just a little further south; pack your clubs for a game at Axe Cliff Golf Club, ride the vintage tramlines along Seaton Tramway and stop for lunch at The Hideaway overlooking the idyllic shingle beach. Choose Jasmine Cottage as your home-away-from-home to discover the delights of Devon.

Kilmington is a small village in the county of Devon. It has its own primary school and cricket ground, as well as a few taverns and a shop. There is so much to see and do in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its small villages and untouched countryside, and it's only a few miles inland of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

    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.

  • Dot

    It's very clean and homely, the beds are comfortable . The welcome pack was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. One of the neighbours told my husband that the cottage was in an awful state but has had a lot of work done to it and you can definitely see that. The pub is a 2 minute walk away which is very friendly and serves very nice food. The cottage is a great place to make your base and explore the surrounding area.

    The welcome pack, containing locally produced food, was a lovely touch. We enjoyed circular walks from the door and followed recommendations from friendly villagers to enhance our stay. Couldn't fit it all into a weekend so have booked to return in the spring!
