Jasmine Cottage is a beautiful 300-year-old Cotswold stone cottage nestled in the quiet, unspoilt village of Windrush. Surrounded by National Trust land, there are numerous walks in the stunning Windrush valley leading to water meadows and idyllic villages. Wildlife and birds are abundant and you will often see foxes, badgers, hares, deer and many beautiful species of birds and wildflowers. It is a perfect cottage to relax by the fire and unwind.
Your home-away-from-home is equipped to make your stay as relaxed as possible with antique furniture, designer sofas, a claw-foot bath, comfortable beds and big fluffy bath sheets. This is the perfect cottage to escape from the pressures of the world without having to climb into a car.
Enter this pretty cottage into a light-filled hallway with stone flooring, mullion window and plenty of space for muddy boots and coats. Through the latch door is a cosy sitting room, with exposed beams, two mullion windows, a window seat to watch the world go by, and of course, the beautiful stone fireplace with wood burning stove laid up and ready to light on your arrival. The cottage kitchen is to the rear of the property and, although small, is filled with light and well-equipped with everything you'll need to prepare and enjoy the wonderful local produce on offer. A small dining area in the kitchen leads you out to the charming patio with garden furniture where you can enjoy al-fresco meals on warm summer days whilst admiring the wonderful garden foliage and flowers which surround you. Climb a few steps up to the main garden area, mostly laid to lawn with herbaceous borders with a bistro table and chairs. Parents will need to be mindful here of a 5' drop back down to the patio area, shielded by a hedge.
When you want to eat out, the historic Fox Inn is a 20 minute walk across the fields. Walkers will enjoy the two mile ramble along the valley to the National Trust village of Sherborne, where the village shop serves excellent breakfasts, lunches and delicious homemade cakes.

This cottage is exquisite and in a village which is free from mass tourism. All the rooms are beautifully decorated. The kitchen is superbly equipped. We had a very peaceful , relaxing time, only disturbed marginally by the occasional clopping of hooves.

Pretty, comfortable cottage in good location. Very well appointed and the 'freebies' were thoughtful and very welcome. The only negative was the quality of the cleaning - especially the kitchen sink and the toilet. We left them sparkling for the next guests!
