Guests appreciate the spacious, clean, and well-equipped property, though some noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance. The tranquil location and modern amenities make it a recommended choice for those seeking a quiet retreat.
Most guests found Marigold Cottage to be spotlessly clean and well-maintained, though there were a few mentions of dust, cobwebs, and a musty smell in one of the bathrooms, suggesting room for improvement in cleaning standards.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful setting, and proximity to local towns and attractions like Wells, Cheddar, and Glastonbury. The scenic views and accessibility to footpaths and farmland add to its charm.
Guests consistently report a high level of comfort at the cottage, with spacious rooms, quality bedding, and a well-equipped kitchen. The peaceful environment contributes to the overall comfort of the stay.
The property is described as well-appointed with modern facilities, though some guests experienced issues with Wi-Fi and mentioned a bath panel in need of replacement. The presence of quality kitchen utensils and comfortable lounge areas are noted positives.
While guests have not specifically mentioned gifts, the provision of basic supplies like sugar, tea bags, and coffee is noted. However, the absence of a welcome pack, which some guests expected based on experiences elsewhere, suggests that the level of thoughtfulness may vary.

As we anticipated we had a lovely Xmas break away from the usual hustle and bustle. Coates willow museum well worth a visit. Wells cathedral on Xmas Eve was wonderful as were the sun sets over the Tor (seen on our late afternoon strolls around the farmland).

There were 4 adults and a toddler staying at Marigold Cottage and it was plenty big enough. It was spotlesly clean, the kitchen was like home from home with all the equipment they provided and the lounge was super spacious. The bedrooms were stunning, my husband and I stayed in the room with the on-suit which was wonderful. It was just generally perfect for us and would highly recommend!
