Cottage had not been serviced by the time of our check-in at 2pm. The cleaner arrived soon after the owner was contacted.
The issue for our group of 70+ year olds was the first step of the entry steps.
Too high off the ground to go up and down. One of us misjudged it, landing heavily & strained his ankle.

Charming character cottage, great location in Martinborough within walking distance of everything. Great communication from hosts and nice extra touches like breakfast goods and a cosy wood burner. A perfect break away would visit again. Thanks

Ambrosia Cottage was excellent - conveniently sited within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Peaceful garden setting with generous supplies of quality tea & coffee, and breakfast goodies. Scrupulously clean the cottage decor was comfortable with nice touches acknowledging the history of the area. Highly recommend

Beautiful cottage, excellent place for a comfortable and unique family holiday. We appreciated all the extra touches, including breakfast, coffee/tea and milk provided. We will definitely recommend and also come back another time :-)
Fabulous cottage, so homely. Clearly loved and well maintained. The extra breakfast items were a real bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great wine area.
Cottage was a lovely little place though mirrors bed head could do with a clean, dead cochroachers and flys not a good look, drive way and garden over grown not good for classic cars. Tree leading to house needs cutting back .
We had a wonderful weekend. The cottage was beautiful and the provisions left for breakfast were very thoughtful. We had a very comfortable and relaxing weekend.
Character cottage in an extremely convenient location, yet still nice and quiet. Pretty garden areas to sit and relax and a well-stocked kitchen.
Very friendly host who met us on arrival.
Would definitely stay at Ambrosia Cottage again.
We loved the cottage which is beautifully set up and very comfortable. It has a lovely garden and is a very short walk to the centre. Marc was really helpful and accommodating.
We had a very nice stay in a beautiful cottage. It had comfortable beds, a great supply of breakfast needs, walked into the square of Martinborough easily, quiet location. The second time in staying here and would love to stay again. Very quick response to checking in.
Very clean and nicely decorated cottage with all amenities. We were warm and the beds are very comfortable. For two friends from different towns who wanted to catch up and relax for a weekend it was perfect. Very close to the local shops. (And we can certainly reoommemd Ahoy for fish n chip!)
