    We specifically booked the room to have a washing machine but the one we were allocated was the only villa without one however Sue was super accommodating and I was able to use the shared machines which was no worries at all!

    The property was stunning, warm and cosy and the receptionist was so friendly and helpful - highly recommend the cheese platter for arrival and a bottle of red - was so perfect lighting the fire with my little family and sitting down to some cheese and wine.

    Ita a great self catering option in a fringe rural environment - very close to the restaurants and vineyards of Martinborough. The accomodation is excellent with the added bonus of an open fire for cool evenings.

    Nothing.

    Short drive to town, lovely outlook from the studio rooms. Bed was comfortable and the room had everything we wanted. The breakfast supplies were good. The bathroom: I loved the heated floor and towel rail. The fan heater was a very welcomed surprise and the shower was excellent.

    Was nice and quiet. Not a long drive to the city center. Would’ve expected a bit more regarding the price

    The “continental breakfast” wasn’t quite continental. Only a couple of small bottles of milk, a bottle of apple juice, some eggs, some spreads (butter, jams, honey and marmite), some infusions (coffee, teas, chocolate powder), store bought muesli and corn flaxes and some slices of bread. For the price per night, we were definitely expecting something else. Also, the fact that we had to call reception to ask for top up, was a bit annoying. The tv only had free channels, which again is quite upsetting for the price. Having kids, I wouldn’t really recommend to stay at this place for more than one night as it doesn’t have any facilities (games, playgrounds, pools for kids) for them, and also it was quiet hard to find something to watch on the tv for them. Maybe it would suit teenagers better.

    The cottage was lovely. Was having a good range of utensils and kitchen equipment to be able to cook and enjoy. Loved the fireplace! Definitely a bonus. The beds were really comfy too.

    I have stayed here a number of times over many years. I think it's now looking tired and needs some urgent TLC in the bathrooms. Attention to detail with paintwork. Frozen bread just isn't the same vibe as the crusty fresh loaf from years ago.

    Relaxing and Quiet Retreat for a three day stay, just perfect!!

    The room was very well appointed and with all that we required for a 3 Day stay. The breakfast was ok, however not extensive. The bed was very comfy as were the pillows. The shower was amazing and just what was needed after a big day of travelling. The location was perfect, away from town but close enough to visit the well stocked super market and shops for all your supplies. My advice is to stock up up on wine and snacks prior to arrival so you can kick back once you arrive and put you feet up and enjoy the the amazing afternoon and night sky. The aircon is fabulous and kept us very comfy during our stay. Plenty of power points available, a real bonus as were the room lights, no more having bring along your 100Watt bulb, the lighting in the room was great!! If you want a massage, its best to book early as its very popular. The Manager was very friendly and accommodating t0 our needs during our stay, always with a smile.

    The TV was not a smart one so we could not stream from our devices nor plug them in directly to the TV which was disappointing. Although there are DVDs available to borrow they were quite outdated. It also would have been nice to have heaters in the bedrooms or electric blankets.

    Wonderful location which is nice and quiet and away from traffic noise but not too far from shops etc. Very well equipped kitchen and plenty of room in the cottage. The onsite spa is great for a relaxing massage.
