Railway Station Cottage Reviews

Kathryn
A really lovely cottage in a great location. The cottage was well equipped and very cozy and comfortable
Beautiful views great little cottage
We had a lovely week and the cottage was lovely. With young children I enjoyed the no clutter feel and fact everything was off the ground easy to find lost toys. Despite having booked for 5, I was disappointed that only 4 sets of towels were left out the hand towels were too small to use for the baby. However the real disappointment of the holiday was the kitchen. There were only 3 dinner plates, which for a booking of 4 5 was insufficient. The kitchen was home to 13 egg cups and 10 wine glasses, yet no corkscrew. The pans had seen better days and the oven trays felt were cheap I was disappointed there was nothing like a pyrex dish for a pasta bake, but appreciate this one may be down to personal cooking preference. The serving utensils were so cheap they almost folded in half holding a spoonful of veg. Additionally the knives were limited only 2 small veg knives nothing suitable for cutting bread. I don't think it would cost the earth to provide a bottle of washing up liquid either. As it happens we were in our camper van so had our own crockery we could use but most wouldn't. I would recommend but manage people's expectations.
