  Several issues as noted in the guest book.

  On arrival fridge not switched on and ready to use. No kitchen roll or kitchen hand towel. No bread bin or board. Only one saucepan lid. Tin opener did not function correctly. No detailed recycling information. No indication of nearest local shop. Storage for provisions minimal and above the induction hob - a costly repair bill if something dropped on it. In the en suite, the hand basin/tap arrangement left pools of water on the surround. The windows could not be opened leaving the air smelling stale and dank if the door remained closed so we left the door open and the bedroom windows open to maintain fresh air. Not ideal. The shower was good and the toilet flushed well. Although the bedroom is spacious the bed was a small double. A king size bed (2 x 3ft zip linked is normal) would have been more comfortable. In the early mornings we saw fox, deer, rabbits and squirrels from the bedroom window. The Annex was warm and the settee comfortable. The oven and hob were efficient. The wifi was adequate for our needs. There were many TV channels available - a list of the numbers for BBC1, 2 and 4 would have been useful and time saving. In conclusion we would say that, although the Annexe is "bijou", it did not fulfil our expectations regardless of the glowing reviews from previous guests .

  On day of arrival 3/9/24, I telephoned the owner's (14.

  05hrs) to inform them of our arrival and that we would soon be at the property to collect the key and was advised that they were not expecting us on that day, but 4/9/24 and explained there was a mix up with dates, we had booked this break 6 months prior. Collected key at 15.00hrs from owner. The accommodation was very clean and spacious with lovely views. A couple of minor issues which I feel should be addressed:- No washing up bowl, no dust pan & brush, no broom, no decent hoover, so unable to hoover on our last day, no kitchen roll, no pillow protectors on bed , which is a big MUST have, the mattress protector was too small for the bed. Just another issue, you had to drive to the nearest pub/restaurant and shop. Which was 1.8mile and 4 miles as described on site. On saying that the scenery was lovely and we had a nice walk, yes your thinking we should have done our research, but even so would of liked a pub to walk to (not too far a walk)

  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.
