Dont stay here
TERRIBLE! The sheets had clearly been slept in and there were hairs all over the bed and on the pillows. The bedspread was badly stained and looked like it hadn't been washed for a very long time. We complained and the man assured us that he had put clean sheets on, but said he knew that the bedspread was stained!. He said he'd put some different sheets on it we stayed. I didn't want to stay but we said we'd go for something to eat and then decide. As we had paid and it was a long drive home we went back to see how clean it was. The host seemed really surprised, he was rude but said he had changed the sheets. I lifted up the pillows which were the same ones and found the same hairs and stains so clearly he hadn't expected us to return and was leaving the same dirty sheets for the next person. Trapped in the other pillow was a really long dark hair. We left, there was no way we could stay in such a dirty horrible room. We had to pay to book another room in another hotel as the journey back was too long. Read less

The bathroom had rusty fittings that really did need replacing. The room was cold to the point the bedding felt damp. Turned on the radiator, but after and hour still no heat. The walls had no sound proofing, so much so, you could hear the next door room's television and the otherside was someone who snored. Breakfast was missed due to not served from 8am. Good point, generally clean.

I have stayed in many B&Bs around the country over the years and The Cottage at Marsh would definitely be in my top 5. The bed was really comfortable with spotlessly clean bedding and quality pillows, room was also very clean with all that is needed for a shorter stay. Although the electric shower looked a bit dated it was fantastic especially being a walk in shower room. I cannot fault Chris the owner or his breakfast, he always had time to chat every morning during breakfast before i left for the day. The surroundings are lovely and so quiet being on a small road. Parking is perfect (off road) opposite the property. Access to the main A303 is very close and just a short walk down the lane is wonderful fields with a couple of resident horses, the opposite way up the lane within a couple of minutes walking distance is a lovely country pub called the Flintlock serving excellent food if you decide not to venture out further afield. The only small negative would be the TV was a bit small and was hard to see when a program had subtitles but that’s only my opinion. The most positive thing i can say apart from Chris and his B&B is the amazing price!!! The best value for Money you will get from ant B&B. Thanks again Chris.. Tommy.

Clean, comfy, convenient
Property is pretty easy to find and has car parking spaces opposite. Due to train strikes, I arrived at 9:50pm and the host was waiting for me to arrive which was really lovely of him. I did email in advance however, they said they never received it so don’t message; call if late. Room was quaint and spacious. Little old fashioned but that was charming. Beds were really comfy. Tea & coffee making facilities (although if you drink alto Of tea like me, bring your own tea bags and milk and sugar) and bathroom/wet room style. Everything was clean and easy to use. Breakfast included (even though I did miss it twice as it finishes at 9am) cereals, tea, coffee, mini full English but very tasty. Only thing was that the shower head had black mould and the rails in the bathroom were very rusty. Room can get damp in the evening but not anything major. but other than that; very clean, comfy and convenient. Good rate for the price!

Bathroom needs work.
The owner was very pleasant but the room was well below standard even for the price. Sadly this is negative review due to the state of the shower room. The toilet was loose and moved about all over the place meaning water was leaking all over the floor. Not hygienic at all. The shower head had black mould all around it and was very poor in power. There was rust on the handrail in the shower also. The bathroom needs a complete overhaul sadly. On the plus side the bed was comfortable. My sleep was good. If you choose the breakfast option you may need to have more to eat late morning as the fried breakfast consisted of one sausage, one egg, one bacon, one tomato and toast. The bathroom let it down I’m afraid.

The room was clean and adequate for our overnight stay (although the walls were a bit thin - next door came in at 2.00am and were VERY noisy). The large windows looked out onto the patio area which was also the walkway to the other rooms and reception, but there were net curtains. We found that the only real downside to the accommodation was the position of the toilet in our bathroom - were are both small but if you were any bigger it would be difficult to squeeze between the toilet and the sink in order to use the toilet. Having said that we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again .... the breakfast was VERY good!!!!
