The space is beautiful, communication was easy, and we were able to use the hot tub, which was great! It’s a lovely spot in a great location—thank you for hosting us. We’re looking forward to staying there again on a future trip.

So close to vineyards and the main shops. Would be ideal to stay in summer and use the pool and outdoor area. We stayed in winter and it was warm and cozy inside. Small accommodation but that's what we wanted as we had a lot planned for the weekend.

I booked this 4 day holiday to celebrate my partner's birthday & have a romantic 4 days away. I am most disappointed at this accommodation, especially compared to others I have heard of nearby/cost only a little more and are luxurious & include things like free wine tasting & breakfast. The accommodation is a container which has been upgraded & sits behind the beautiful pool. It is tiny. The bed is a futon & not very comfortable. The 2nd person has to climb over the bed to get in. It does not heat well despite the heat pump & has ventilation issues in winter mornings. The only place to sit apart from the bed is on wooden stools. The kitchenette has a microwave, airfryer & nice fridge/freezer. The bathroom is great. It is nice & central & close to wineries.The hot tub (which we were looking forward to) is pretty well unusable in freezing winter evenings as it is near the main house & has no shelter. There are some lovely touches like the nice shower gel, handwash, netflix & free wifi & it is new, clean & tidy. I do not feel it is suitable to hire out in winter time-if so only for one person.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Jul 2026
Hi Linda So sorry you were here during the very wet winter weather the region had and that we were not the accommodation for you. We appreciate your feedback. We'd like to gently note the property photos show the Pool House is a shipping container, has a corner bed and that stool seating is what is available inside. However, we have updated our property description even more now to highlight this. As you note, the hot tub is near the main house. The blinds are always drawn, so it is private, though as the photos show it is open to the weather. Its a shame you decided not to use it, as reviews on other sites from those who stayed at a similar time mention how much they enjoyed it. So sorry again to hear that your weekend wasn't what you had hoped for - we appreciate how disappointing that must have been.

Amazing

Honestly couldn’t rave about this stat more! Louise the host was the nicest and most useful host I’ve ever dealt with, my partner and I stayed for our anniversary and Louise went out of her way to arrange a bottle of bubbly and some flowers for us. If you are traveling to Martinborough and want a close, affordable, cozy place to stay - I high recommend staying here!

A lovely place

A nice cottage in Martinborough. Clean and comfortable. A very helpful host. I was there for 2 nights for stargazing. This place is not far from the centre yet I got very dark sky for stargazing. I recommend this place for people who would like to do some stargazing and do not want to travel. I'll be back again.

Altho the accomodation was new and clean it was very small with the bed in the corner of the room and no access to both sides. Also there was no chairs to sit in only two stools. Maybe we should have looked more closely at the listing. I wouldn’t recommend it for older guests ( we are in our 70’s). However the setting was nice, it had a great shower and it was an easy walk into the main square in town.
