Marigold is such a pretty detached cottage.
The stunning communal indoor heated pool is a very welcome sight on a dull day or in fact any day!
There's plenty of seating for everyone in the cosy living-room.
The large and well-equipped kitchen makes rustling up any meal a pleasure.
Light and airy, Bedroom 1 is very cute and welcoming.
The modern shower-room can be found on the ground floor.
The delightful twin room is a great bedroom for both young and old, especially as it has a spacious en suite with bath and fitted shower.
En suite for Bedroom 3.
Marigold is accessed via your own private gated entrance.
What a lovely spot to enjoy a touch of al fresco dining.
On entering the property, you are welcomed into this fabulous open plan layout.
Bedroom 4 is home to this super-king bed. What a fabulous bed to jump into after a long day of entertainment and adventure.
The dining-area is a great place to discuss the days plans and lay some new ones for tomorrow.
Bedroom 1 is tucked away at the end of this hallway. Please mind the steps.
Snuggling up in front of the wood-burner is a must after a day of adventure.
Bedroom 4 comes fully equipped with a spacious en suite too.
The en suite for bedroom 4.
Bedroom 2 is this rather sweet bunk-bed room which is only on offer to the kiddies. Please do note that to access this room you need to go via the utility-room.
The steps leading down from the living-area into the utility-room which then leads into the bunk room.
The utility-room houses the washing machine and tumble-drier. The small fridge/freezer pictured is being replaced by a large freestanding fridge/freezer for 2023.
You have arrived, welcome!
Anyone fancy a game?
The communal games-room has a pool table, perfect for 'staying in' days.
Stancombe Manor is where all the facilities can be found, and it is literally metres from your front gate.
The grounds at Stancombe Manor are exceptionally well maintained.
Sit back and watch the kiddies wear themselves out.
For the walkers of the party, there are numerous walks and paths which lead out from the Stancombe Manor grounds.
The communal games-room for the younger members of the group is a godsend on a rainy day.
Even the adults are catered for with this full-size snooker table.
The shared pool is a real favourite with the little ones. Good luck getting them out!
Slapton Sands beach is even closer and offers so much history to marvel at.
Only a short drive away you will find the beach at Blackpool Sands. A fabulous day out for all the family.

We had a fantastic time. This is our second year staying at Marigold. Facilities excellent. We especially liked the swimming pool which is very deep. Tennis and snooker were also fun. Weather was amazing (hot and sunny all week - we were very lucky). Marigold is a lovely cottage, perfect for our 2 families, very well equipped. Nice garden and we enjoyed having a BBQ. Very quiet location which we like. We did have very little phone signal or WiFi which also meant TV didn't work most of the week. DVD player also didn't work. This didn't bother us much. Due to the weather being so good the kids played outside and it was nice being 'off grid' for a week. Last year when we stayed here the WiFi, TV and phone signal was fine. ...

Marigold Cottage is like home from home. It is very well equipped & in a beautiful location. Simon & Michelle, the owners, have thought of everything. The personal touches, card, flowers, apple juice, biscuits & fudge were a lovely touch & very much appreciated. I'm looking forward to next year as it will be my 70th birthday & I cannot think of anywhere I would rather be to celebrate with my ????????????????...

Beautifully presented cottage not long refurbished. Lots of nice extra touches provided - flowers and biscuits on arrival, good selection of DVDs, books and games. Netflix is also provided. There is also a CD/Radio/Bluetooth speaker/player although it didn't seem to be working when we were there. Really well-equipped kitchen. Great to have fridge and a big fridge/freezer, as well as dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier. Ian the caretaker was also very friendly and helpful. It's a bit of a walk from the parking space in the car park to the cottage when unloading and loading car, so you might want to pull up outside cottage to do this when arriving and leaving (leave someone ready to move your car if it gets in anyone's way!). Take some pound coins if you want to use the sauna (£1 for 25 mins) - you may need to use £2 as it takes some time to warm up. Mobile signal is largely non-existent unless you are using a provider linked to EE. There is, however, reasonable WiFi in the cottage so you can make and receive calls through WiFi when in the cottage. The last 2-3 miles leading to the cottage are along very narrow single-track roads with limited passing spaces, so be prepared to do plenty of reversing! ...

Lovely cottage on a great holiday cottage complex. All the shared facilities were brilliant and we took advantage of using the swimming pool!
