Family time
We had a lovely time staying in Martinborough. The house was perfect for the 10 of us. It suited our needs perfectly. We made use of the tennis court and spa.
Highly recommend this property

Wonderful Wedding Weekend
We stayed at Black Barn Modern for our wedding, the house is beautiful & well looked after. Exactly what I wanted for getting ready & being photographed in. It was a very hot Martinborough weekend so the aircon in each room was much needed. We loved our stay!

Wonderful Winter Weekend
It is a lovely modern, warm and spacious home and perfect for a group. As it was cold and raining during our trip we appreciated this. A few things to improve on for perfection would be: the wifi connection is poor and although we reset the modem we experienced continued buffering. One of the bedroom headboards (navy) was covered in dust. Better quality pillows and sheets. Overall we had a lovely stay and would stay again.

Beautiful home with great facilities
Beautiful modern home with loads of space, great indoor-outdoor flow, all the streaming services you might need and access to a private community swimming pool and tennis court. The whole-house air-conditioning makes it ideal for toasty summer vacations. Very responsive service from the property owners. Highly recommended.

The house was exactly as shown, very modern and well furnished and had all amenities listed. Check in was very easy and communication with hosts was great. Overall we were very comfortable during our stay.
Only a couple of very small drawbacks - there were quite a few flies inside when we arrived and we would recommend frosting the small bathroom windows!
