Our stay in Jasmine Lodge was so relaxing; the instructions for arrival were easy to follow which made a good start. The lodge was lovely and warm, spotlessly clean and in a quiet location.We were blessed with sunshine and clear skies for most of the week so sitting out in the morning for breakfast listening to the multitude of birds singing and stargazing at night was just amazing.Plenty of walks for Buddy (our dog) right on the door step so he was in doggy heaven for the week. Not enough time to do everything we wanted in a week but packed in plenty of variety all within easy driving distance - seeing dramatic scenery at Harland Point, coastal path walks, wandered round quaint villages (Clovelly is just down the road) . Had to sample a Cornish Pasty in Bude of course and cream tea ! A few National Trust properties not too far away (we went to Arlington Court). After all the walking it was good to be able to have a soak in the bath, read a book in peace and then a good night's sleep in a comfy bed.Definitely a good place to stay for us, reassuringly we knew if we needed anything the owner ( Peter) was a phone call away - he had already provided plenty of useful info for our stay. Our only regret was not finding this place sooner - excellent value for money.
