Peaceful little retreat

This is a lovely little place, perfect for couples looking for a relaxing time away. Being about 2 minutes out of town right amongst the many wineries, means it is super quiet & peaceful.The owners really have put a lot of thought into the place & everything you could need for a short or long stay is provided. We would definitely stay here again!

You couldn't beat the peaceful oasis of waking up to birdsong and gazing at the starry night sky. We stayed here for my birthday weekend and absolutely loved our stay at the barn, it was so beautiful and romantic, and a perfect location amongst the vineyards. The place was super cosy, with everything you need, and laying in the claw bath looking at the view was such a vibe! Dan was such a fantastic host - he checked in with us regularly and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, and the bottle of bubbly with snacks was such a lovely surprise. I would highly recommend booking this place and we'll definitely be back again!

Martinborough Gem!

Lismore Barn is a lovely, clean and beautifully presented cottage in a great location! Very private spot, yet within walking distance (5-15 mins) of some great wineries - Hawthorne, Poppies, Moy Hall to name a few. We really appreciated the thoughtful little touches we were greeted with on our arrival...a great way to start our stay! The whole upstairs is one large bedroom with a luxurious king sized bed and large bath where we could soak while enjoying the views. Dan & Mary are fantastic hosts who were very helpful and also provided us with an online guide for guests to ensure we had the best possible experience. Thanks for a wonderful weekend - a great place to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
