Every thing about the accomodation was great in our opinion. Clean, plenty of utensils etc in the kitchen, ample breakfast each day, comfortable beds. The location is handy to town. Bonus having an indoor swimming pool.

Holiday get-away
Comfortable property in pretty surroundings, good for a get-away break.
The service and experience is what we expected for the price. Very comfortable beds! The team fitted us in for the day spa at very short notice which was very much appreciated and the pool was lovely. Thanks so much for having us.

A quiet retreat just outside the town - easily accessible to everything Martinburough offers including the excellent wineries in the region. Accommodations were lovely and very comfortable. Enjoyed the breakfast options left in the room. The fitness area was great also - well equipped and clean. We really enjoyed our stay.

Very relaxing stay, not many guests so it was very quiet. The continental breakfast with eggs was a pleasant surprise. Unit was warm and having a fire was a nice bonus. We’ll be back at some stage.

A cottage of one's own. A fire to light in winter evenings. Excellent breakfast supplies provided. Couches could be a bit more comfortable but we love visiting here in summer and winter. Spa treatments also amazing.
