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!

Big comfy house good for groups

A nice comfy place with many bedrooms and beds really good for a group of friends or families. Not fancy or swanky in anyway, but comfortable, warm and spacious. Note - even if you pay for linen to be supplied you'll need to make your own beds. The spa pool is a great addition and it's awesome for stargazing.

About the host

Hosted by Jill and Doug

Host profile image
Doug and Jill enjoy travelling and have stayed at many Bed and Breakfast properties around the world. They offer their home to you, albeit they have a private flat which is occupied by Louise, our Caretaker, occasionally. They know what they want in a holiday house and hope they have provided it for you.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, rural, spacious. Sunny and shady areas, and if its raining, plenty of room inside with 4 sitting rooms. Only 4km from village. Big bedrooms, sleep 3 to 5 people and 3 bathrooms. Hen or stag parties welcome, but the house must be left as found and you need to bring your own linen, or sleeping bags, plus towels. I will provide linen for $15 per person if required, paid direct to my bank account or to Bookabach as above.

What makes this property unique

3 large bedrooms with ensuites plus private sunroom with pullout couch Four living areas for privacy if wanted. Outside spaces when you want sun, or shade. Working farm, and farm walks. Private spa pool, only onlookers cattle, or sheep! Tranquil - No neighbours! Only 4 km drive from Martinborough Square
