Cottage was good although I agree with other comments about the shower. However, this didn't put us off as this was our stay at Marigold Cottage!
Lynn
It didn't disappoint this time around. It's an excellent base to plan walks around. The only downside for us is that we now have a dog who was able to accompany us on this holiday but as the cottage is now not accepting pets, we have to accept that Marigold Cottage will no longer be available to us. It is a lovely place to be, both in Clun and in the incredibly cosy cottage.

A few points for owner: not for publication Carpet on ground floor lounge area requires cleaning. Blanket on settee needs replacing because it has holes in it. Fridge needs defrosting or even replacing. We hope you are not offended with this constructive criticism because we really did have an enjoyable stay at Marigold Cottage.
