“The cottage was lovely and spacious, warm and homely.”

The facilities were excellent and the cottage provided everything anyone might need. We would definitely book again in the future.

“Although this was great location, the cottage itself was a disappointment.”

Garden neglected, when entering gate often had to sidestep chicken poo. Inside there are several areas with black mould, bathroom floor didn’t feel completely safe. Peeling wallpaper, chipped crockery, cleanliness left a lot to be desired. There was no floor brush or vacuum cleaner. While I enjoyed my holiday, I would not book there again.

“Railway cottage is comfortable and nicely located but lacks care and attention.”

I was attracted by the gardens but both front and back were neglected. We were greeted with dog excrement at the side of the path, which appeared quite fresh. There were brambles growing out of bushes a very full dustbin which looked as though it had not been emptied for a long time and had the wrong rubbish in it. This smelt and was attracting flies.The sheds at the side of the garden were full and quite honestly could be a fire hazard. The kitchen is well past it's sell by date, with a very old fridge and cooker. Sadly there is not ice box in the fridge and we were looking forward to having a few nice iced drinks, which wa straight out of the window. The cooker plugs in to a dual socket Just above the rear hot plate. It is not a protected cable and I don't think it is safe. A number of light bulbs need replacing and the light at the foot of the stairs does n

“On arriving at the cottage, the outside area at the front looked dismal , there were chickens roaming about .”

... the chickens themselves not a problem but the chickens mess up the garden path was a problem .....sitting outside would not have been pleasant ...however there was another outside space at the back of the cottage that was pleasant .the inside of the cottage was lovely ..bedding was immaculate and fresh overall cottage interior lovely outside just needs an overall

“Only one complaint and that is the inaccurate information about the internet.”

Yes there is access to the internet but only if you pay for each device to have access. At £30 for over two weeks per device it is excessive.

“The outside was a let down as not clean and tidy the beds were uncomfortable no freezer does not mention in the ads there is a train very near and the neighbors have chickens etc as my friend is allergic.”

“We've had a great stay at No 2 Railway Cottages, a clean, well equiped home with plenty of room for us 4 (2 adult & 2 children).”

The veiws are ace. The house has a great heating system and additional wood burner. I'd recommend it to anyone we will defiantly be coming back . The owners Mike & Amy where very helpful to us also. Some reviews stated concerns about car parking we had no such problem there is a driveway at the front of the house that belongs to the house .. no worries there .. 10/10

“A very enjoyable week”

We arrived to find a beautiful well decorated cottage with nice gardens front and back. The cottage was very spacious, very well fitted out with everything you would need to make the stay comfortable. We was welcomed with a supply of tea, coffee, sugar and bread and a nice bottle of wine. The bed linen and towels were of good quality and clean. We were located very near the railway station so if we didn't want to drive we could still get out and about. The only bad thing we could say is the private road we had to drive up to get access to the cottage was not maintained and unfortunatley the weeks before our holiday the weather was terrible and the road was full of big pot holes full of dirty rainwater. The week we were there the weather was very good and we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the cottage to our friends and family.
