Stunning property for a large group
Vine Cottage is a large, spacious, property, ideal for our family group of seven adults. With two lounges, we never felt like we were tripping over each other. It's in a beautiful location situated in the vineyard itself. The kitchen/dining room is stunning, and made for family get togethers.
However, the description in the listing needs to have more information. First of all, THERE IS NOT A MICROWAVE! It never entered our heads that there wouldn't be one at the property, but there wasn't. Fortunately, it only hampered our meals on the first evening, as we'd all taken something that could be heated quickly. We then had to quickly become acquainted with the Aga. Having been terrified at the thought of using the Aga, the instructions in the kitchen were clear, and perfectly understandable for us novices, and we left after our four days thinking how brilliant is was and actually having enjoyed using it. There is also an electric fan oven and an induction hob. The listing needs to specify exactly what is and isn't at the property. Also, just to make clear, there are two ensuite bathrooms and a family bathroom upstairs, but the fourth family bathroom is downstairs, just off the kitchen. Again, this needs to be mentioned in the listing for potential renters.
A lovely welcome pack was waiting for us at the cottage which included a bottle of the Wraxall Rose. We later enjoyed a bottle of their Bacchus at The View.
Overall, highly recommended and would definitely stay again.
