What a wonderful house, looks as it does in the photos, obviously someone has put lots of love into this place! Beautifully designed, the sliding doors and shutters are unique (takes a minute to figure them out but once you do they are great.)
Small touches likes the Nespresso pods, milk in the fridge, makeup towel, spices etc made the stay just that bit more special.
However a few things to note:
- There is only one shower, in a seperate wet room by the kitchen, so just be aware the ‘2 bathrooms’ do not have showers only toilets and basins (and one bath). It wasn’t too bad but having to run through the house after the shower to the bedrooms through the lounge was a bit strange.
- We stayed in the middle of winter and important to note with all the glass in the house it was really difficult to heat, even with the fire roaring and heaters on it didn’t hold its heat very well. However there were electric blankets which were a lifesaver!!
- The property is quite rural, wonderfully isolated but do expect to drive down a few unsealed gravel roads to get there. It’s not walking distance to anywhere so just make sure you bring everything you need for food and beverages.
- The second bedroom is outside, although reasonably sheltered if it is raining and windy you will feel it moving from the main area to this bedroom. Cool design and didn’t bother us at all, but something to be aware of.
Regardless of the above I highly recommend as a lovely retreat for a small group (4 people), sit by the fire or outside in the sun reading and enjoying the glorious isolation with a glass of Martinborough Pinot in hand :)
