"We stayed in July 2026, with one night a minus 2 degrees. The cottage lay out and the large heat pump was able to keep us all toasty warm. The cottage is lovely and has everything you could possibly need, we very much enjoyed our stay in Martinborough. Beds were very comfortable with good quilts too.
