Jasmine Cottage - W41461
Jasmine Cottage is a lovely property which sleeps three guests and is perfectly located for exploring all that Dorset has to offer.. 1 step to entrance.
Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: Freeview TV, DVD Player, DVDs
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Electric Cooker, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer
Bedroom 1: Zip And Link Double Bed (2 x Singles On Request)
Bedroom 2: Single (3ft) Bed. Electric central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Cot. Utility room (shared). Lawned garden with sitting-out area and garden furniture (shared). Private parking for 1 car. No smoking. Please note: There is a river 200 yards from the property.. Excellent base for exploring Dorset. These two single-storey, semi-detached stable conversions, each for three, are in the grounds of the owners home (a Grade II listed thatched cottage dating from the 15th century) surrounded by over an acre of meadow and gardens, overlooking the River Stour and Newton Mill. Situated in the hamlet of Newton on the outskirts of Sturminster Newton, between the historic towns of Sherborne and Blandford, and just south of Shaftsbury, they are an excellent holiday base to explore the rolling countryside of Dorset and the south coast. There are many historic houses within easy driving, in particular Stourhead House and Gardens (National Trust), Kingston Lacey (National Trust), Athelhampton, Sherborne Castle and Fiddleford Manor (English Heritage), or one can explore the delightful Dorset south coast between Weymouth and Bournemouth, taking in Lulworth Cove, Swanage and Poole with their many attractions. Weymouth with its beach, fishing, windsurfing, yachting and Sea Life Centre is well worth a visit, perhaps calling in at the Bovington Tank Museum and Monkey World near Wool. Or inland perhaps a day at the Wincanton Races or up to the enchanting Glastonbury Tor for some scenic walking. Shop ½ miles, pub and restaurant 200 yards.

Jasmine cottage was small but practical.
Jasmine cottage was small but practical. Great location if you like walking in the countryside.
Well equipped kitchen, nightmare to get out onto a busy A road
Inside everything was fine (if quite small), milk left in the fridge and heaters turned on so it was warm when we arrived. Shower only (as the listing shows) but was nice and hot.
Only real issue I had with the stay was parking and trying to get out onto the A road - there are mirrors to try and help inching out onto the main road (blind bend) but depending on the weather they can be useless.
