Jasmine Place is a Grade II listed cottage, circa 1650, that looks out on one of the UK’s largest greens. Centrally located, it is only a few minutes from the train station, shops, pub and restaurant. Its character is in keeping with its age, with inglenook fireplaces and a multitude of exposed beams. Your luxury experience begins as you arrive at the entrance hall with it's huge inglenook fireplace and this is where your breakfast is served with a selection of croissants, pastries, yogurts, fresh local fruit, choice of cereals, toast with local jams and a range of teas and filter coffee. Your cooked order includes the 'Full Bentley' with either grilled haloumi cheese or meat from our local butchers and is served in your private lounge. This has a sofa bed, flat screen tv, tea/coffee making facilities, choice of magazines and board games. The luxurious bathroom has a wet room shower, Spa bath and Molton Brown toiletries. Your first floor bedroom accessed by a quirky stair case has exposed beams and original stained floors as well as monogrammed bath robes and a beautiful chandelier taking centre stage over the bed. Included are complimentary home cooked biscuits or fudge.
