  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.

  Beautiful cottage fitted to a very high standard. There are 2 patio areas so you can chase the sun or shade. Welcome hamper included some local produce which is always a nice touch. We went during the much publicised heatwave but if you close all of the sturdy shutter doors and windows when you are out it is very effective at keeping the cottage at a reasonable temperature. Our second visit and we will be back but will try a different time of year for a change. Located close to Stamford, a small town with bags of character. Rutland Water within easy reach and numerous historic houses and gardens are also within a short driving distance.

  The quality of the cottage was 5 star as it was very well equipped and beautifully furnished. However, I have had to rate it as a 4 star overall as the cottage was on a main road and there was quite a lot of vehicle noise. It was one of the hottest weeks of the year and the upstairs bedroom was very hot and stifling. We could not have the upstairs window open during the night because of the road noise so we had the fan going all night to try to cool us down. The cottage was very well situated and we were able to visit Stanford, Cambridge, Burleigh House and Lincoln, as well as Rutland Water. Joanna and Piers were very helpful.

  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 it’s 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

  Because of unexpected illness we were unable to visit Rectory Cottage. I was however appalled to find that Rural Retreats will not engage with me ( two requests) about their dubious business practice of charging a "damage waiver premium " of £150, as part of the booking fee, which they do not refund if you do not visit the property and I guess do not refund either if you visit but cause no damage. I see from a Companies House search that the directors of RR appear to be directors of a number of holiday letting companies- I hope that this practice is not common to them all.
