Guests say
October Cottage is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its cosy atmosphere, comfortable beds, and large garden. It serves as a good base for exploring Wiltshire, with a convenient location near Marlborough. Guests appreciate the character of the thatched cottage and find it to be excellent value for money. While some mention the need for updated furniture and a better shower, the overall sentiment is positive, with the property offering a warm and inviting stay.
Most guests did not mention cleanliness issues, suggesting satisfaction, though a few noted cobwebs and dust. The property seems well-kept, but minor attention to detail could enhance its cleanliness.
The cottage's location is frequently praised for being close to interesting sites, great walks, and the town of Marlborough. Its position in a quiet hamlet adds to the charm and appeal.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, but some taller guests have mentioned challenges with the bath and shower, and a few have suggested that the lounge furniture could be more comfortable.
The cottage is described as well-equipped and spacious, with a secure garden and a garage for bikes. However, recommendations for updating the shower and lounge furniture indicate room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category. As such, the score is set to null.

A spacious and well equipped character cottage with a secure garden for dogs and humans alike. Close to some great walks and places of interest. It could improve with some new lounge chairs and as a 6ft man I found the bath and shower a challenge. However, I doubt that you could find a better place to rent for the money and I recommend it without hesitation.
