  From the street the cottage looks small. Do not be deceived! Once inside and beyond the lobby you are in a very large and well appointed lounge area. Comfy sofas and some rugs on the enormous stone flags. Huge log burner in the fireplace (not used but, looks like it would be great in the colder months). Large TV above sideboard so, if is raining or you just want to chill or watch TV, you're sorted. Dining room and kitchen are big enough and have all of the facilities you need. Storage is a bit "tight" but, just rearrange a bit and you should be ok (we did, we were). Bathroom has a great shower and everything else you need. Main bedroom to the front is large and houses a superking bed. I think there is a second bedroom but, we didn't have access to it. From the outside this looks to be quite large. The garden is a peaceful haven but, was being changed/updated when we were there. Sure the stairs are steep but, its just how it was when the property was built. Parking can be a pain but we managed to park in the street every day. The walk to the car park in the square is 5 minutes so, not the end of the world. Enjoy your stay, we recommend it!

  A very good location for this quirky cottage, right in the centre of the small town and easy to get to all the local attractions. Parking is on the street and while occasionally we couldn't park right outside, generally we had no problems with this. The cottage was well-equipped, the kitchen had everything needed for a week's stay and the shower was very good. A large and comfy bed as well. The stairs are very narrow and difficult to negotiate for anyone with mobility issues. However it is in need of some TLC throughout, as while the place was clean, it looks tired and would benefit from some fresh paint and updating on some of the fixtures like blinds. The garden is particularly bad and looked like it had not been touched all summer. It was so overgrown with weeds that it made it unusable during our stay which was disappointing as we booked this based on the photos so our dog could go outside into the enclosed garden. The front outside area was also full of weeds and with all the bins there does not give a good first impression.

  Absolutely wonderful!! My partner and I stayed at Orchard End for a month with our pup and were so sad to leave. The home is beautifully decorated and bright with views of green rolling hills. The hosts - Helen, Kevin, and their son James - are such lovely people and made us feel so welcome. Helen even baked us a beautiful cake upon our arrival! We had another couple join us for part of our stay, and the layout was perfect for two couples. We each had our own "wing" of the house with separate bedrooms, bathrooms and living rooms. Our pup loved the walks through the town and into the woods which is a short walk from the house. It's a peaceful environment perfect for unwinding and slowing down. The kitchen was very well appointed and the big dining table made entertaining simple and comfortable. I can't recommend this home enough and we hope to return in the future!! By far our favorite vacation home we have stayed in.

  Jasmine cottage is located in an ideal spot to access both inland and coastal sights easily.

  Beautiful scenery and magnificent beaches to explore with your four legged friend. The cottage is warm, bright, clean and very comfortable. The kitchen space is small but well equipped. Everything you need after your day out to make dinner and relax for the evening. And if you can't find anything, a quick message or call to Mary and a few minutes later she was at the door to help. The garden is a quiet, calm oasis to wander in or to sit and listen to the birdsong in the early morning as your dog investigates the river, bushes, trees and lifts his nose to catch the scents floating in on the breeze. Richard and Mary have a vast wealth of local knowledge and were always ready to offer recommendations and loan a map. Nothing was too much trouble, they were helpful and very welcoming to all visitors, whether furry or not so furry!

  Nice clean well equipped cottage in a good location to visit surrounding area - Lyme Regis, Clarkes Village and Weymouth all about 40 - 60 minutes.

  If using A303 stay on for Crewkerne and the A356 - there is a Waitrose and Lidl next to each other handy for supplies - turn left at the large yellow cross hatched road markings - stay on A356 to the cottage - after a declining left hand turn the cottage is on the left a very narrow entrance in-between a large tree and Bakers Arms where the owners live. The court yard is gravelled and a car park space for each cottage. NOTE that there is no mobile phone signal - Wi-Fi only - my phone worked okay, but my wife's didn't - would have liked a roller blind on the glass front door and in the bathroom. The power to work the shower is a ceiling pull cord next to it. No eating establishment within walking distance. Would recommend for a couple with it's good location for visiting surrounding area - just keep to the A roads!
