Margaret and Mark's cottage house in the country is spectacular. Old world charm with modern updates. Quiet, accommodating and the most comfortable beds we have slept on in a very long time. The individual mattress heating pads make your sleep so relaxing. This place is five star all the way. If you can rent it - do it! Nice and central to lots of attractions.

Wonderful Cottage!! The pictures do not do the cottage justice. It is a beautiful cozy place. We stayed 3 nights and fell in love with the place. If I am back in the area I will definitely book this house again. There is a convenient EveryDay store that is a quick drive, or walk to town that carries all the basic stables you will need for a few nights. The Woodstock Arms pub is a must stop in town for a pint. Over all had a great stay.

What a beautiful place, lovely homeowners (Maggie and Mark), and peaceful stay! The home itself has everything you need-well equipped…not to mention the plethora of books to read!

Amazing home that, as said before in other reviews, is even better in person. LOVED the renovated stone barn, LOVED our hosts, LOVED the heated beds, LOVED the tub, LOVED the resident kitty that came to visit. Be aware, that you will be cozy if you know how to build and maintain a wood stove. Otherwise, this may not be the fall/winter destination for you. Not immediately close to many amenities (food/shopping) but not far either. (by U.S. standards)

Home Away From Home

Mark and Margaret’s coach house was ideal for us. We instantly fell in love with all of its charms. It’s located perfectly to create a home base and welcomed us comfortably after long days of exploring. Inistioge is a gorgeous location. If you’re looking for a long weekend with quietly stunning scenery or a home away from home, this is where you need to stay
