Guests say
Marigold Cottage receives high praise for its peaceful, rural setting, spacious and modern interiors, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests particularly enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere, proximity to local attractions, and the presence of alpacas and other animals. The property is frequently described as clean, comfortable, and ideal for families or those seeking a relaxing break. While the vast majority of reviews are positive, a small number mention minor maintenance or cleanliness issues. Overall, Marigold Cottage is highly recommended for a restful countryside escape.
Most guests found the cottage spotlessly clean and well maintained, with high-quality linens and towels. However, one review noted dust, cobwebs, and some cleaning oversights, which appears to be an isolated incident.
The location is widely praised for its peaceful, secluded setting with easy access to Wells, Cheddar, Glastonbury, and Shepton Mallet. Guests appreciated the countryside views and proximity to attractions, though a few noted narrow country lanes.
Guests consistently described the cottage as spacious, light, and very comfortable, with modern furnishings and comfy beds. The quiet environment and ample space contributed to a restful stay.
The cottage is well equipped with a modern kitchen, quality furnishings, and ample parking. Some minor issues were mentioned, such as a dated bath panel, temperamental Wi-Fi, and unclear hot water instructions, but these did not significantly impact overall satisfaction.
Several guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts of milk, biscuits, tea, and coffee, though it should be noted these are not guaranteed. Communication from the owners was generally positive, with a few guests mentioning prompt responses to issues.

Overall a really great place to stay with a lovely mainly private garden .Access is good though via narrow country lanes in both directions . It took us a couple of days to work out the hot water system - instructions could be clearer . It was a nice gesture to leave us milk and biscuits on arrival and to receive a welcome text from the owners . One slight negative was the plug in air freshener on arrival - it had quite an overwhelming smell on opening the door though this was easily remedied by switching it off. . A huge plus is how quiet the place is which makes it very easy to relax and unwind there .
