Kylemore Railway Cottage Reviews

Gillian
This is a great place to stay, only a few minutes drive outside Stamford. There is loads to do nearby Nene Valley Railway, Burghley House, Fotheringhay Castle remains, Rutland Water and Oakham. Special shout out to Mallard Point Winery and Distillery lovely owners and well worth a visit. Stamford itself is so beautiful and The Arts Centre has great shows cinema. Kylemore Cottage is very spacious and comfortable and excellently furnished. Our suggestions would be to take foil, cling film and grease proof paper if you intend to do a lot of cooking and also washing and dishwasher pods would be useful too as these are not provided, but the quality of cutlery and crockery is great. We would definitely recommend.
Michele
A well equipped, comfortable and spacious house. Perfect for our three generations holiday. We chose this property as it is close to our elderly relatives. This was our second visit and we hope to come again.
Michele
Brilliant place for our three generational holiday visiting family nearby. The railway provided much entertainment. Modern and well equipped kitchen. Everything we needed. Would definitely want to stay again.
We were delighted with the house from the moment we opened the door. Light, tasteful and generously provided not just the Welcome items but plenty of kitchen equipment. And the joy of watching and hearing the trains and the signal person at work. Felt special to be bang on top of the last manned crossing in the country!
Shannon
Me and my friends had the most amazing weekend! The cottage is BEAUTIFUL! Cleanliness thought out the cottage was 1010. We are already speaking about booking again. So peaceful, even with trains running past makes it abit more unique. Hight recommended. The landlord is also very friendly. Thankyou for having us!

We had a lovely stay in this comfortable and well equipped house The trains were entertaining by day but did usually wake us early so its important to be aware of that before booking However it did not spoil our stay in the least The house is bright, airy and spacious Comfortable sofas and beds The house was warm and the showers lovely The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and equipment The area is lovely for walks with pubs and shops nearby The garden is secure and a lovely size with plenty of seating We were fortunate that the field of rape next to the house was in full bloom and looked absolutely stunning
Everything was perfect, from the accommodation to the area it was in. Check in was easy and the owner was always a call away if we needed anything. The house is great for any occasion. I highly recommend to anyone staying here it was spot on.

Kylemore Railway Cottage was perfect. We were 6 adults and the cottage was spacious and very comfortable for all of us. The cottage was impeccably clean and everything was of a very high quality spec. The beds were so comfortable that I'm now going to change my mattress at home for the same used in the cottage. Set in a quiet, rural area, next to a working railway line. The passing trains were swift and unobtrusive. We spent Christmas 2023 there and the owner had decorated the living areas beautifully with fairy lights, a real Christmas tree and lots of other decorations. Having a log fire in the dining room made it all the more special. We will definitely recommend this property and will stay there again in the future. Yvette and George were very helpful and friendly. All in all, a wonderful family Christmas with 3 generations was had by all. Thank you.
Had a lovely few days' break with friends at Kylemore. We'd picked a week when it rained a lot, but we hunkered down with the trains the property had everything we needed. Between downpours we got out for a walk to Stamford and back to the delightful Bertie Arms in Uffington.
Stephanie
Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful house everything you could possibly need. Dog friendly. Would recommend The Bertie Arms pub and shopping day in Stamford. The trains going by were great. Any train loving children would love staying here!! Fish and chip delivery was so good too. Will definitely return. I always sleep with a fan on all night and we had really hot weather so wish I had taken my fan.
Lindsey
Great cottage plenty of space and very well equiped. The children loved waving to the trains from the upstairs balcony.Would definitely use again if in the area.
