Quaff Cottage
A cute Cottage within walking distance to all the amenities. Very spacious for a older cottage including the outdoor spaces. The bathroom had plenty of room and the Clawfoot was amazing, including the two rubber duckies. Even the creaking wooden floorboards were a unique experience.

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.
