My partner and I had a lovely weekend away staying at Applemead. Mariana's cottage is cute and cozy. The cottage has a really good sized sitting room, fully equipped kitchen, separate bedroom, and a little ensuite. The cottage has an awesome outdoor sitting area, with beautiful views and friendly chickens that will come and eat breakfast with you. Mariana was a lovely host, met us at check in, showed us how to use the spa and made sure we had everything we needed. The fire was all set up and ready to go on arrival and it warmed the cottage up very nicely. The spa was fabulous to relax in at night and do some quality star gazing. While close to Mariana's house, it still felt very private. Breakfast was provided, cereal, toast, milk, eggs, tea and coffee etc. This was great as it meant we could just relax in the morning and enjoy our surroundings. I loved sitting in the sun, having my morning coffee, watching the birds, and hanging out with the chickens.
Highly recommend for a relaxing weekend away, its a great location to explore Greytown and Martinborough. I think it was fabulous value and the pictures don't actually do the cottage justice!
Thanks again Mariana!
