Norman is an excellent host. The cottage was perfect for the 4 of us. Quaint and comfortable with all the amenities and plenty of space for all of us. The village is beautiful and friendly, quiet and warming. The cottage was central to all of our adventures we had planned, and an excellent place to wrap up our day and unwind.

Leuke accomodatie.
Een echte cottage, voorzien van alle gemakken. Steeple Ashton is een mooi dorpje met een Village Shop en een pub. Sfeer is echt Engels. Bath en Salisbury liggen in de buurt. De eigenaar had een lijst gemaakt met de "must haves". Heel leuk contact met Norman gehad.

4 Night Stay at Jasmine Cottage.
The property was exactly as described, lots of character and very clean with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Norman was at the property when we arrived and showed us around and pointed out local areas of interest. Very friendly village and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend.
