10.0“Super cozy cottage for a comfortable stay”
+Stylish and modern while super cozy, all amenities that you need for two people plus tasteful add ons such as fresh milk in the fridge and small pieces of jam. We extended one night, cuz we just felt so comfortable and homey. Location is walking distance to shops / town center, but there is also a bus stop 2 min away in case you want to go to Martinborough. On top of all, super welcoming and easy going hosts - would definitely book again!

10.0“A little haven of beauty, peace and tranquility!”
+Beth, Dean and beautiful Olive their Labrador, were so welcoming on arrival. The cottage itself is tastefully decorated with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. There were extras which were appreciated, especially the logs that Dean provided for the wood burning stove. Everything is spotless! The bed is super comfortable, the shower and facilities are excellent and we thoroughly made use of the board and card games. It is very peaceful and calming at the cottage and would highly recommend it if you are looking for first class accommodation in a beautiful area.
