Guests say
Jasmine Cottage is a well-equipped, cosy property with comfortable beds and a secure garden, ideal for those with pets. Its location offers easy access to Lewes and scenic walks, though some guests noted traffic noise from a nearby road. The cottage's charm and amenities make it a good value for an extended stay.
The cottage generally appears well-kept, with some guests finding it clean and tidy. However, a few reviews mention the presence of cobwebs and a need for a more thorough cleaning, slightly lowering the score.
The location is praised for its proximity to Lewes and scenic areas, but the proximity to a main road and associated traffic noise has been a concern for some guests, affecting the tranquillity expected from a cottage stay.
Guests have found the beds very comfortable and the cottage cosy, contributing to a good night's sleep for many. However, there are remarks about an uncomfortable sofa and a tired bed in need of replacement.
The cottage is equipped with essential amenities like a dishwasher and washing machine, and guests have appreciated the large shower and garden space. Some guests noted that the lighting could be brighter and the oven cleaner, indicating room for improvement in maintenance.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Sofa is extreamly uncomfortable, as is the bed which is so tired there is no support.The shower cubicle is frankly disgusting joining the velux windows

Well kept cottage that was cosy and quirky due to it being on old school house.

Nice little place with good amenities. Only downside is close proximity to a main road but it does mean it's easy to get about and traffic noise dies down at night. Would definitely use again.
