Granny Vera's @ Marigold Cottage

The coziness

No shower, parking, asked for flowers to be ordered for arriving & weren’t

Absolutely beautiful cottage. Great location

Beautiful little cottage. We absolutely loved our stay! A stones throw from Bedale centre and literally 2 doors down from a pub. Close to the gorgeous Yorkshire countryside. It really is the perfect location for a getaway. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed for a weekend- kitchen full of utensils etc for cooking, a bathroom with shampoo, soap, lovely towels. The bed was very comfy too. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Nothing

Very comfortable and clean with everything you need. Handy for Bedale market place. Handy for fast EV charging (at the Auction Mart). Helpful, friendly neighbours. Well placed for gorgeous walks in Masham, Leyburn & Brimham Rocks. Not far off the A1M.

Whilst the central location and nearby facilities was an overall positive, the negative side of that was some weekday early morning noise from deliveries to the nearby CoOp. If that would bother you, take some ear plugs. The plus side is a large’ish supermarket within walking distance, so you can easily shop on arrival. The on-site parking is only for small cars. Other parking is close by, but if you’re fussy about parking your car overnight in an unfamiliar public place, that may be uncomfortable. After the weekend, a helpful neighbour let me park across his garage and the property’s garage while he was away.

We didn’t have breakfast, could have done with a few more tea bags one between three was not good, neither was the fact we had no hot water. But it was only one night, and was quirky, and cute with comfort.

Having no hot water was a big disappointment, and finding how to get some evaded us. Too the towels are far too small.
