Beautiful setting in the countryside, and very lovely communicative host. The house was spacious and comfortable but it would really benefit from a refresh (eg kitchen equipment, games and linen). Also note the Spa is the small inflatable kind.

Peaceful and relaxing. Spacious, in a lovely garden in the country - a stone’s throw from Martinborough. There were just the two of us in the house that would comfortably hold many more. Luxury!
