Laura Bailey
We had the most magical stay at Jasmine Cottage. 6 adults 2 children and a dog the layout was perfect for us. My in-laws had their own section as did my eldest and her friend. My younger two loved the 'hidden' stairs to our level where we had a gigantic bath to our selves. The cottage is warm and cozy and you can do as much or little as you want. It is everything you want from a thatched cottage.We loved it that much we have booked to stay again for same week!

We were a family group of 7 ladies and dogs. The cottage was spacious and is in a fantastic location for walking and for catching the bus to Weymouth or Dorchester when you don't want to drive. It was a chilly weekend and unfortunately two of the bathrooms had radiators that weren't working so they were quite cold. We took plenty of firewood so could use the wood burner to keep the living room warm and cosy. The bedrooms were warm with the central heating. The kitchen could do with some sharper knives and some scissors, but otherwise was perfectly fine. The stairs are quite steep, but that didn't bother us, in fact it added to the character of the cottage. The local pub, The Smugglers Inn , did a very good Sunday roast. We would definitely come back here, but probably in the spring or summer.
