Marigold Cottage

Home from home in this lovely small cottage in Clun.

It was comfortable, well equipped and felt really fresh. It is in a quiet area but just a short walk into the village where there are two pubs, two cafes, a Spar and a couple of gift shops. All nicely low key. There are countryside walks all around, ideal for us with a dog.

Had a lovely stay at this cosy, clean cottage.

It had everything I needed, including a well equipped kitchen and a very comfortable bed. The owner was friendly with great communication throughout. The area is so peaceful, and having a parking space was a real bonus. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful little cottage just perfect for me and my Greyhound Arthur.

Very clean and comfortable. Stunning area with great walks and friendly people especially the neighbours. Super quiet - loved the church bells. Donna was super helpful with my minor queries whilst there. Will definitely book again.

Lovely cottage in a quiet countryside town, lovely interior and very cosy.

Owners lovely and really good communication and instructions inside for everything. Would recommend to others definitely

Small, cosy cottage, ideal for a short break in the historic farming village of Clun.

We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely short break at Marigold Cottage.

The cottage was warm, comfortable, cosy & quirky. We had everything we needed, a real home from home.

This is a lovely, cosy cottage in the heart of Clun, just around the corner from the Postcard Cafe by the packhorse bridge, Clun Castle ruins, and ideal for exploring Shropshire, Herefordshire and Wales.

I was a little subconscious that neither the kitchen nor the bathroom had blinds. The kitchen window was clear and overlooked by three other cottage windows. Despite being at an angle with a stone wall, these were upper floor windows above this. The bathroom does has obscured glass but obviously if you want to have a bath in the evening after going out/walking in the day it’s a bit exposed when it’s dark outside and you put any bathroom lights on! Although the bath itself is tucked away under an alcove, the bathroom is large and I felt conscious using the toilet/bathroom in the evening, putting on bedroom lights to just about see but none in the bathroom itself. I found myself having baths/showers in the morning/day time because of this. Again, probably nothing anyone else notices, but it just made me feel a little uncomfortable probably because I’m just a bit sensitive

Apart from the havoc caused by Storm Goretti which was completely beyond anyone’s control, we had a lovely peaceful and relaxing week in Marigold Cottage which is located in the very friendly village of Clun.

We found the cottage to be comfortable and well equipped, within short walking distance of all local amenities, and with the bonus of being on the doorstep of the beautiful and very scenic Shropshire countryside. Thank you and best wishes, Roland & Maureen.

Loved our time here it was very cosy, comfortable and in stunning location.

It was a great base for exploring the local area and the locals were so friendly. We will be back.

We first stayed at Marigold Cottage four years ago and had very positive memories of it.

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.

Very nice and comfortable cottage, conveniently situated in the charming village of Clun.

Lovely cosy cottage and very central for most activities in the area.

The property was in an ideal quiet location, with lovely walks with the sound of church bells to brighten up any dreary morning.

The cottage although warm and cosy needed some tlc it required a deep clean downstairs thick with dust behind the sofa. walls needed a lick of paint; coat hooks were on the same panel as the electric wiring further down the wall preferable kettle needed descaling or replacing. The bedroom was light and airy comfy bed and plenty of storage. We love visiting this area.

A lovely cottage that was very homely with a lot of the owners personal touches there.

Everything was very clear on how to use everything, I would personally like to thank the owner for the collection of books available- I have actually taken up yoga again as a result of their collection and bought one of the books myself ! A treat to have the castle so close and plenty of places to walk with dog, beautiful views and wildlife such as woodpeckers / hedgehogs / owls. Would highly recommend Clun and would definitely return.

Fabulous cottage, very cosy and welcoming.

Will definitely be back!

We loved Marigold Cottage.

And we loved Clun. A small village of 680 people but with two pubs, a village store with Post Office, ironmongers, gift and craft shops, two cafes, a mini tourist information and shop. Walks all around - wonderful countryside. The National Collection of Aeoniums if you're into horticulture. The cottage itself has everything you might want and we hardly used the central heating as, although the weather was wet and windy at times, the wood burning stove heats the whole cottage (although not great environmentally of course but just occasionally it's lovely to have). We cooked a lot and found everything we needed - the knives were sharp! Thoroughly recommend. Enjoy.

Cosy and comfortable.

No welcome pack especially as it was Christmas. When we went to use the hob it wasn't working. So annoying as we had a Christmas dinner to cook and other meals. I didn't sleep with worry. Manager came on Christmas eve to provide us with a 2 burner hob. Electricity cut out twice . These things should have been checked before our arrival. It spoilt our winter break . We will not be returning

A lovely cosy cottage to explore the wonderful area around Clun.

Will come again.

Lovely cottage in a lovely town surrounded by lovely countryside.

Great location and we found Clun to be a very friendly and welcoming place.

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!

Location great.

House fine for 2 adults. Basic amenities seemed very basic! Shower unusable except in the bath and no shower curtain. Very old and uncomfortable sofa in living room. Parking space described as ' ample' but actually small as car must be parked to avoid neighbour's garage.

It was adequate.

This is a great base for a walking holiday.

Clun is a quiet and friendly place with good pub, cafe, shop, etc all just up the road and there is really nice walking from the door, including the Shropshire Way and on to Offa's Dyke. The cottage is comfortable, generously equipped and nicely furnished in traditional style with plenty of storage space. Our only complaint would be that the bathroom although it looked nice was not very user friendly.

Great location, and generally comfortable cottage.

Like other reviews would request coat hooks, especially as the joys of British weather mean they are often wet! 2 small criticisms - lack of a 'welcome pack' which is pretty standard in most holiday lets now. 2) Huge, but really poorly configured bathroom - you can only have a stand up shower if you are a Hobbit!!

Overall a quirky lovely warm cottage.

Beautiful village set in beautiful countryside. Great pub with lovely food.

Location great, Quiet, just big enough for 2 Everything you need, own special Decor inside very nice.

Stairs very slippy with Socks on, Runner down the middle would help. No Coat Hook anywhere for Wet Coats. Very over looked in Kitchen More at Night need Blind. Garden at front messy. The fence as no use Better without so parking is better, Restricts Car door opening with narrow Road.

Had a lovely time in Clun and really enjoyed Marigold Cottage.

There were one or two unimportant things, like a smaller teapot and a teacosy, that I would have used for early mornings in bed, and coat hooks, but these are not complaints - just comments. Liked the tasteful decor and attractive woodiness, and the lighting was good, and the heat and hot water supply!

Lovely little cottage.

Very clean with all the amenities. Pretty village with very friendly neighbours.

Lovely town, lovely pubs.

Ham egg and chips very good. Friendly locals great gift shop and craft shop. Enjoyed castle walk and museum visit. Local spar good and very useful.

Beautiful cottage in an amazing friendly and historic village.

Lots of interesting and informative places to visit nearby.

Great stay so relaxing cottage lovely

We have stayed before at Marigold cottage, never had a problem, comfy, cosy cottage with all you need for a break away.

Just what we wanted and hassle free.

We really enjoyed our stay.

We liked the cottage very much. It was comfy, spacious and light and had everything that one might need. The location was perfect for us as we mostly walked and we used the pub and shop in the Square which were barely five minutes walk away. Would highly recommend it. There were a few items that need some attention which we left details of for the owner, but they did not affect our overall enjoyment.

Lovely place Lovely warm cottage but it needs alot of t.

l.c down stair up stairs is Lovely very comfy bed needs lights in back yard and by front door dirty where your pans are a lot of cobs webs down stairs sorry needs a good clean down stairs when we arrived the back door was open sorry it is a lovely cottage just needs some care

Lovely cottage, home from home feeling.

Great lot burner, easy to use, heats the rooms up nicely, especially in the cold weather. Very cosy.

It was the perfect, quiet, cosy cottage.

We had a wonderful Christmas break at Marigold Cottage. The log fire was a delight and we were made to feel welcome and comfortable. Clun is a beautiful little market town and a great location to explore other scenic spots. We will definitely go back.

A lovely property with lots of character.

In great location for the village and surrounding areas. Good WiFi and facilities small courtyard to sit in. Nice and warm. Only negative if you like a shower it a bath with hand shower but due to being cottage you can’t stand up!

Lovely cottage and beautiful place.

Very good for walking. Everything thought of by the owner in regard of guests needs. We have booked to go again after such a good holiday.

Comfortable little cottage, well equipped, and just as described.

The surrounding countryside is lovely and the village of Clun is quiet and welcoming. We always enjoy staying here with our dog.

We had a lovely holiday in Marigold Cottage and Clun was a beautiful place to stay.

Weather was amazing which is always a bonus. The only criticism would be the bathroom. The bath was exceptionally narrow even for a small person and the extended mixer tap hanging from two hooks from the sloping ceiling just didn't work as it was impossible to stand up. Also the plumbing needed attention when the toilet was flushed, the noise could be heard around the whole cottage and continued for sometime

The cottage was cosy and comfortable although the bathroom facilities could do with updating.

The plumbing being very noisy when flushing the toilet.

The cottage is brilliant - small but well thought out and really well equipped.

The kitchen had everything you could want (including sharp knives!), the bed was comfortable and the helpful information and little touches (like some lovely locally made soap, and tons of firewood) really made it perfect. We wanted it for the location - easy walk to town and to a couple good places to take pets for a walk - and because it was dog friendly. In fact I'd say dog welcoming! It was ideal for us and I'd definitely stay there again.

Lovely compact cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Loved the bedroom with its bright open feel. Small courtyard ideal for us and dogs. Two minutes walk into centre of village and river. Two pubs, store and cafes. Lovely area and really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend

It's a lovely cottage and very well located for a walking holiday around Clun.

We didn't need to move the car once we'd arrived as so many walks radiate from the locality. Kitchen is well equipped ( but no potato masher!) and the bed's lovely and comfortable.

Lovely, cosy cottage, within minutes walking distance of the village centre.

Perfect place for a get away from it all break.

Lovely comfortable cottage with a well equipped kitchen, generous bathroom and a comfortable bed.

No garden but a small enclosed yard worked well for us and our dogs. The owner has clearly thought carefully about how to make guests warm and comfy. We would definitely book again if we return to the area.

Lovely cottage and we enjoyed our week in Clun very much.

The cottage was well equipped including the kitchen so we were able to prepare our own meals easily which was important as pubs and cafes were only open for outside service and the weather was not good so eating outside was not ideal

Perfect in every way.

Fabulous week & would love to book again.

This is a lovely little cottage that we stay at regularly.

We also felt very Covid-19 safe. Sykes have developed good systems for coping with the difficult circumstances caused by government regulations and restrictions. Thank you to the owner of the cottage and to Sykes.

lovely cottage, perfect for a cozy hide away for two, just the getaway we needed to read, write, walk the dogs and escape the covid madness.

Great location.

We had an enjoyable stay at this cottage.

The cottage is cosy and in a really nice little town with some good shops and pubs within walking distance. The countryside is beautiful and very quiet and unspoilt. The wood burner was great and the bed and sofa were comfortable. There are a couple of things that could have made it even nicer; we missed having a proper shower (the bath is under a sloping ceiling so you can't stand up in it) and there was a slightly musty smell when we first came in and also in some of the kitchen cupboards but this is a very old property so that may be hard to resolve. Great value for money though so we would come and stay again.

Maybe we should have known but we were not aware that induction cookers do not have a grill.

The one in the cottage was also very difficult to turn on the hob "plates". Is this usual? It was also lovely to get home where we only have to turn off the kitchen taps not have to keep screwing them down to stop them dripping being older it was very difficult with our old wrists. Sorry if this sounds like a fussy complaint but we have never had these problems before in fairness most of the people in the guest book seemed very happy and said they would return.

Nice little cottage, well situated for exploring the local are.

This is a lovely little cottage on a quiet road on the edge of the village and only a short walk to the centre.

Parking is easy and there is a sunny little courtyard garden. The interior is very comfortable and the kitchen is extremely well equipped. We have stayed here several times and absolutely love the surroundings. The local residents are friendly and there are pubs and coffee shops within a short walk all selling good quality food and drink. Country walks are possible from the front door and the grounds around the castle are ideal for dog walking. We love it here and don't hesitate to recommend this little cottage.

Most relaxing place , exceeded our dreams and more

Marigold Cottage is a lovely, comfortable cottage in a lovely location.

The locals are very friendly & it was a very enjoyable stay.Clun is a quiet place & just what we needed to recharge our batteries!

Bookable at very short notice, very clean cottage better than it looked in photos.

It's an incredible location for walking, we spent three nights here and did a great deal of walking with the dog - he slept for days when we got home

Comfortable, homely cottage in a very friendly village in beautiful, quiet countryside, We will definitely return!

Lovely, quiet, cottage in a lovely quiet village, catering for the dog owners

Was a lovely cottage it was in the right place for whatever you wanted to go in the village it was so peaceful

Having sold our house we were unable to move immediately into our new home.

A holiday let of this exceptional standard was the ideal solution allowing life to carry on as normal for the whole family (us plus 2 dogs). To arrive and find that the kitchen is stocked with every appliance you would have at home and a few more was the icing on the cake.

The log burner is the only way to heat the property and they want you to replace the logs you use, in all the cottages I've stopped in I have never had to replace the gas of the centre heating, to many rules regarding dogs, they expect you to lock you dog in the kitchen and they are supposed to be dog friendly

The cottage is in a good location, on the edge of the small town of Clun with walks into the hills and woodland straight from the front door.

Comfy and cosy cottage for 2 in the lovely village of Clun, we will be back.

..…….

Just returned from another lovely stay at Marigold Cottage in Clun.

This was our second stay at Marigold and everything was just as perfect as the first time. The cottage is spotlessly clean and there is everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. Its on School Lane so it can be busy when the mums and dads are taking their children to and from school but other than that its in a very quiet location ideal for fabulous walks and two very good pubs serving good quality food. The town of Clun is a very friendly place and dogs are made very welcome. Hope we will be making our third visit soon.

This was a great little break that me and my 35 week pregnant partner really needed .

the cottage was the perfect accommodation. The village was lovely with 2 pubs in walking distance . The only shop is a spar which is a little expensive but we only needed to take a 20 min drive to Ludlow where there is both a Tesco and an Aldi. We took our little dog teddy An he really enjoyed it although we would have like to do a bit more walking as we could see the was some great routes. We are even thinking of having a little break when our baby boy arrives as the cottage would be a perfect base for us with everything we needed.

Lovely cottage, spotless and cosy and well equipped.

Excellent location. Very comfy bed!

Would recommend this cottage for a cosy Winter break in a lovely peaceful village.

The log burner was really great and a huge supply of logs provided along with plenty of hot water and central heating. The village has a good pub and shop. Thinking about returning in the Summer.

As lovely as the wood burner was, if we let it go out the cottage soon became extremely cold.

It did state that there would be gas central heating but this had been disconnected, which was a shame as it provides more evenly distributed warmth. The cottage was clean and well equipped and Club was a nice village.

Lovely village.

Friendly people. Idea location for where we wanted to be.

Really enjoyed our stay in May.

Love Clun, really enjoyed the Green May festivities and will be back.

This was our third visit to Clun.

On the first two occasions we stayed in a B & B but as we now have two dogs we decided that a cottage would be the better option. The cottage was just perfect for us.- everything there that you could possibly need and spotlessly clean. Although we stayed for a week at the end of June we had two very cold evenings so the wood burner was an extra bonus - very snuggly and warm. The town of Clun is very welcoming and the two pubs and the Maltings tea rooms all served very good food at reasonable prices. The White Horse even does take-away fish and chips - what more do you need !!! We had a fabulous stay and will definately be back soon.

I had a stroke two days before we were due to go so it was good to just be able to relax

Fabulous time rebooked already!
