Martinborough Break

Perfect location to explore Martinborough and the surrounding area’s.Quaff cottage is lovely and spacious and the shower was excellent…almost a massage.We were so pleased to be able to bring our 2 tiny dogs and know that they were secure when let outside.A few instructions on getting the tv, oven and outside lights working would have been good.Thank-you for having us and our dogs, we really enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic Little Gem

The villa is located close to town (5min walk) and is well set up for two couples or just a couple. It was wonderful to be able to bring our dog and the dog friendly blankets were a lovely touch. Definitely recommend for a wonderful break.
