Plum cottage is a lovely home-from-home cottage in a beautiful situation very close to the centre of Castle Cary, which is well worth exploring. We had everything we needed during our stay and would very much recommend it

Lovely quaint cottage in heart of the town with good access to key attractions in Somerset including Cheddar Gorge, Weston Super Mare (big investment in the promenade and new marine pool). Good local choice of eateries within minutes. Parking no problem even though on the street nearby. EV charging also available in the town. Stairs are quite steep but elderly mum (81) managed them ok. Couldn't work out how the DVD and would benefit from cling film and foil being provided but these are minor things.

Gorgeous cottage in a lovely town. Thought parking might be a problem but it wasn’t. Just around the corner in Bailey Hill you can park for 2 hours free, then it’s free from 6pm to 8am so effectively you can park there from 4pm to 10am and it’s free all day on Sunday. The cottage had everything we needed, and a very cute garden. Huge comfortable bed in the main bedroom. Loved the decor and furnishings. Would happily stay there again.
