Guests say
Plum Cottage is a well-received holiday rental in Castle Cary, praised for its peacefulness, spaciousness, and homely feel. Guests appreciate its proximity to local shops and eateries, as well as the beautiful garden and patio area. The cottage's location is ideal for exploring the town and surrounding footpaths.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be very clean. One review mentioned a lack of personal touches and dated dog biscuits, but this seems to be an isolated comment amidst overall positive feedback on cleanliness.
The location is consistently praised for being perfect, with easy access to the town and local amenities. The quiet and peaceful setting is also highlighted, contributing to a high score.
Guests find the cottage comfortable and cosy, with a few noting the spacious rooms and quiet environment. However, some mention steep stairs and a snug bathroom, which suggests room for improvement in comfort for some guests.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage being well-equipped. However, there are comments about the need for a handrail, a small bathroom, and a suggestion for a coffee machine. The mention of dampness and dehumidifiers indicates some maintenance issues.
While some guests missed a welcome pack and suggested the inclusion of tea, coffee, and milk, there are no consistent mentions of gifts or special touches that would warrant a score in this category. It is important to note that while such amenities are appreciated, they are not guaranteed.

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

Gorgeous little cottage, much more spacious than it looked in photos we were pleasantly surprised! We were a stones throw from the high street and beautiful walks around Castle Cary. We had a lovely stay and looking forward to returning soon
