Jasmine Cottage is situated near to the centre of the village, about a three minute walk from the local pub, restaurant, post office, shop, café and bus service.
The building is an attractive, 18th century character Cottage with exposed beams, which has been sympathetically modernized and decorated. The Cottage has three bedrooms and sleeps up to six people. It is comfortably furnished, carpeted, and well equipped and in winter it is heated throughout. There is a wood burning fire in the sitting room and a free supply of wood available throughout the year.
To the front of the Cottage is a small walled flower garden and to the rear is a private garden with lawn, shrubs, picnic table, and benches.
Car parking is available immediately outside at the front of the property.
The Cottage is independently inspected annually by the English Tourism Council and is currently classified by them as **** (Four Stars).
Steeple Ashton is a very pleasant picturesque village which has frequently won the 'Best Kept Village Competition.' It has an exceptionally large medieval church, a village green, and a host of ancient buildings.
There are many attractive walks around the village and within easy reach are places of interest such as Stonehenge, the City of Bath, Westbury White Horse, Avebury Stone Circle, the City of Salisbury, Wilton House, Westonbirt Arboretum, Bradford on Avon, Cheddar Gorge, the National Trust Village at Lacock, Longleat House and its lion reserves, the prehistoric mound of Silbury Hill, Castle Coombe, Bowood House, Great Chalfield Manor, Stourhead Gardens, and much more...
Steeple Ashton was one of the most important 'wool-towns' of the middle ages and from this time remain the exceptionally large Church of St Mary and many of the old buildings of the Village. We have often won the 'Best Kept Village Competition'.
There are many footpaths around the Village where you may be greeted by a cheery 'good morning' or 'good afternoon' by the locals. There is a village bus service to Trowbridge and Devizes.
The Village has a 'lockup' on the Village Green, used in the past to hold drunks whilst the Policeman was summoned, on his bicycle, from Trowbridge! Today, the 'lockup' houses the Village Green lawnmower.
Steeple Ashton has a pub, about five minutes walking distance from Jasmine Cottage, which is is very unusual in two ways. Firstly it is one of the few pubs in the Country which is also a Post Office - stamps and large range of Post Office services are available over the bar; and secondly because it is managed by an Anglo-French couple, offering not only good local beer, but a variety of excellent French and English food. It is a 'village pub' and you will be made most welcome there by the locals.
Steeple Ashton is ideally placed as a base to visit many of the prehistoric sites of Wiltshire including the world famous Stonehenge, Avebury Stone Circle, Silbury Hill, The Wandsdyke, Kennet Longbarrow and the many White Horses of the County (The nearest one is at Westbury, a fifteen minute drive away).
Easily accessible are the ancient and historic cities of Salisbury and Bath, Stourhead Gardens, the 'biscuit-tin' village of Castle Coombe, the National Trust village of Laycock, Westonbirt Arboretum, Bradford on Avon, Bowood House, Great Chalfield Manor, Longleat House with its Maze and Safari Park and much, much more...
