The perfect wine weekend retreat

Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful cottage for the weekend - it was the perfect spot a wine weekend with friends and some time away from the city. Thank you also for your generous hospitality with the wine and chocolate on arrival. We will definitely be coming back!

Cosy cottage for a mid winter break

Lovely little villa with all the amenities. Fabulously located near wineries and a short (10 min) stroll into the square. The courtyard is a lovely sun trap which our dog also loved snuffling around in. The wine and breakfast provisions were much appreciated, as was the ability to whip up soup, pasta and a roast when it was too cold and wet to go out for dinner. A big shout out to the local butcher, Scotty's Meats, and the 4 Square for vege.

Great location, pet-friendly stay

Was very happy turning up to the villa, and a massive benefit the accommodation was pet-friendly. We were able to get to the town square and vineyards as far as Luna during our stay, so great location! Also received an email from the owner beforehand which told us everything we needed to know.

A good location and excellent for families or couples

A great start up breakfast package and few basics to start your holiday. Plenty of space for children to run around but great set up for adults too. Always clean and tidy.

Great historic cottage set in the most beautiful garden. The roses are just beautiful and there is plenty of room to sit outside and enjoy it. House is a proper historic cottage and has been well maintained and look after. Very close to vineyards-hence the name-and also to town. Highly recommend.

Relaxing in the vines

We were pleased the owner welcomed our two pet greyhounds as much as us, and the property had fenced-in garden areas the dogs could run around in safely. The owner also made sure we were well provisioned with food in the kitchen, including complimentary chocolate and wine!

The property is well appointed with comfortable beds and good quality bed linen. There are several different sitting out areas. We enjoyed cooking meat from the local butcher on the gas barbeque. The property is ideally located for several of the local vineyards and within easy walking distance to the center of Martinborough with the butcher, supermarket, ships and eating places.
