Staying in Newlyn, Tanya was inspired to run a holiday home management business from the beginning, given she was surrounded by these kinds of properties. After starting the Marigolds, word of Tanya’s services soon began to spread across the seaside town and beyond. Combining her previous experience in customer service with a passion for caring for and maintaining homes, Tanya and her team will clean to an incredibly high standard, provide bespoke toiletries, offer restocks of both the essentials and the luxuries across a home, and even provide signature hampers and local seasonal flowers to welcome guests. All of these services add up to a five-star experience for clients and their guests, who receive the quality of a fancy hotel’s housekeeping service but in their own private space. When it comes to housekeeping specifically, what really sets the Marigolds apart is its commitment to being sustainable and refusing single-use plastics across its supplies. For instance, all of its properties are stocked with and cleaned using Bio D products. These vegan products are made in the UK using only ingredients that have been ethically source, with even the bottles themselves being made from 100% recyclable packaging. Her commitment to using only sustainable cleaning products has seen Tanya recognised with the gold plastic-free award, highlighting the progress her company has made since its decision to go plastic free at the end of 2023. To further her sustainable focus, Tanya also works closely with both Sustainable Penzance and Surfers Against Sewage. Since linen and laundry are also essential components of housekeeping, the Marigolds is delighted to work with local business the Laundry Box to handle every aspect of a property’s needs. Whether that means using the owner’s own linen or commercial linen (the latter sees the team work closely with Mounts Bay Linen Hire), Tanya and co. will collect and deliver only the best quality linen to and from clients’ holiday homes in West Cornwall.

Tanya and the team know that the owners of a property may live far away, so being able to care for it is not always easy. With this trusted team to boot, the property will be carefully overseen both inside and out, kept in tip-top condition thanks to a network of trades including plumbers, electricians, gardeners, and window cleaners. When she is not cleaning or managing her clients’ properties, Tanya can be found making her renowned hampers, which can be used as welcome packs, ‘goodie’ baskets for visiting friends, or even just as a special present. Across these seasonal hampers, Tanya works with a variety of small, local businesses who produce some of the finest sweet and savoury food and drink Cornwall has to offer, from cider and fudge to jam and popcorn. Alongside these hampers, Tanya also provides local flowers as an extra touch for the guests. Lastly, it is worth noting that the Marigolds does not only restrict itself to holiday homes, and it also has a number of commercial cleaning contracts. These have been won not only thanks to the efficiency of the company, but also its status as a plastic-free champion. The hope is that the Marigolds can continue to expand this side of its business, all whilst continuing to deliver the highest standards across its key focus areas of sustainable housekeeping, property management, laundry and linen, and its boutique hamper creation.
