Summary: Sue and David were great; very open and welcoming. The cottage, which they had completely restored, was immaculate and had all the right stuff. We had been eating out a lot and really wanted to use the grill and stay in, and that was easy. The gardens surrounding the cottage are beautiful and there is an orchard of apples and plums which we enjoyed. It is close to almost everything in Marlborough, and Sue was good with suggestions.Highly recommend. We would return in a heartbeat.
