Cosy, comfy, great location and fun!

Had a great girls weekend in Marti with this as home base. Plenty of wood for the fires which kept us toasty and a lovely location right next to Palliser. Everything you need and more. Fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, lots of towels and blankets.

Great property

House is great, particularly the external games room and surrounding grounds - could just do with a proper clean inside and out, and vegetation needs a prune. Amazing location, quiet area and perfect for a few nights or longer

Lovely location

We loved Martinborough and the surrounding area, it looked especially beautiful in all the autumn colours but found the cottage very cold, especially when we first arrived. Perhaps it would be a nice gesture for guests arriving in the cooler months for the host to turn on the heaters before the guests arrive to take some of the chill off the air. It took a long time for the cottage to warm up the first day but once it did with the fire going we were much happier.

Amazing place to stay

The Mans cave/games room really makes this place and sets it above other stays. A great place to socialise with the whole family. Comfy beds, hot shower and everything you need for your stay completes the package. Thank you, ive already recommended the place to others.

Weekend away

This is normally a great property with the games room, that we have stayed in before. However we do think soap should be provided in the bathroom, there was only a nearly empty handsoap for the basin. Also the cobwebs everywhere should really be cleaned away, they are not nice at all.

Quick getaway with our dog

The cottage was perfect for our stay. Was awesome to be able to have our dog with us because of the fully fenced backyard. Awesome surroundings, vines for miles. The games room is an added bonus!
