Huge house. Very comfortable.

Clean and tidy house. Lovely location really close to Martinborough. Might be a bit cold in winter because it’s so huge, but there are two open fires as well as heaters, and wood provided so could be nice and cozy too once fired up. Hot tub is an inflatable one and smallish, but still lovely to have.

this was a great place for our family - plenty of space, exploring the farm, putting up a slack line, walking on the farm, playing spotlight, toasting marshmallows and wallowing in the spa. And exploring the vicinity - the seal colony, cycling.

Beautiful spot

Amazing property in a pretty special spot! The house was tidy and had so much space. Great to be able to sleep lots of people and actually have the living space to handle the numbers. It would be nice if the cost of linen was included in the overall price as this almost caught us out.

Lovely home

Lovely large house in nice rural setting. Good heating ensured it was warm. Kitchen very well supplied with utensils etc. Very clean. Only negative feedback relates to the quality and supply of the linen we paid extra for. We had to make the beds, and linen was not overly good quality and bit limited (1towel each & no flannels). Also the “5th bedroom” is bit misleading as is a pull out couch in the kitchen. Fine for family but not appropriate for our arrangement where separate bedrooms were preferred.
