Very nice stay but it would be good to allow for rubbish disposal 'on site" given how remote the house is.

Good Place for large Groups
We stayed with 12 people for the weekend and the place was a great size and close to Martinborough for the group.
There were a few issues such as some broken glass in the lawn, hearing rats in the wall most of the night, the spa pool being different than pictured (more inflatable than a standard permanent spa pool that it looks like a photo is taken from in the listing), and not having quite the right amount of bedding after paying for it separately. Also got asked after our stay if we had taken 20 dinner plates when the host just hadn't checked the other cupboard where there is a note saying it's where extra plates were stored, which was a bit odd not to check first.
None of which affected our ability to have a good time, cook nice food in the kitchen, and enjoy the space. Really convenient location for enjoying what Martinborough has to offer.
