Guests say
Plum Cottage is a well-received holiday rental in Castle Cary, praised for its peacefulness, spaciousness, and homely feel. Guests appreciate its central location, beautiful garden, and the convenience of local shops and eateries. While some minor issues are noted, the overall sentiment is positive, with many looking forward to returning.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be very clean, contributing to a high cleanliness score. One review mentioned the presence of old dog biscuits, but this seems to be an isolated comment.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the town, shops, and local attractions. The quiet and peaceful setting is consistently appreciated, leading to a high score for location.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable. However, some concerns about steep stairs and a snug bathroom slightly affect the score.
Facilities are mostly adequate, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable rooms. However, comments about the need for a handrail, a small bathroom, and a lack of seating at the kitchen table suggest room for improvement.
While some guests missed personal touches like a welcome pack or dog bowls, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of thoughtful gestures such as gifts. Therefore, the score is set to null, and it should be noted that such amenities are not guaranteed.

We spent a long weekend at the cottage. It was like a home from home! It was comfortable, warm and more than well equipped. Everything had been well thought out for guests comfort and convenience. There are a couple of local food shops within walking distance, and some lovely independent boutiques, gift shops and cafes. We ate three times at The George, and although it was a bit pricey, the food was delicious. We would love to return. Maybe in the warmer months when we could take advantage of the lovely garden and Summerhouse.

Thoroughly enjoyed staying in Plum Cottage which was well equipped for our winter break. It’s well documented that there is no onsite parking and we found places to park ( keeping an eye on time restrictions) easily. Even though it was February it was great to be able to open the back door and know the dog was safely enclosed: would be ideal for sitting out in the summer .The tiered garden is delightful.Many places to visit on the doorstep and the town itself is great to explore.Accomodation was very comfortable ,the bathroom rather on the narrow side but perfectly adequate.No hesitation in recommending and we hope to visit again in the future.Thanks

Comfortable, beautifully quiet cottage in lovely area. Be aware of very 'snug' bathroom and steep stairs - also, remote parking.
