Jasmine Cottage has been sympathetically modernised to give
our guests present day comforts while retaining the old world character of the
building.

feature stonework. It has three large bedrooms and sleeps up to six people. It
is comfortably furnished, carpeted and well equipped, and in winter it is heated
throughout. Car parking is available immediately outside at the front of the
property.
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, Devizes and Bath
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 that has a superb restaurant, a Village Shop
specialising in local produce, an Internet Café and a Post Office all about
three minutes walking distance from Jasmine Cottage. You will be made most
welcome there by the locals.
