Our host had double booked us, so we were unable to stay as planned. Although she booked us into alternative accommodation this was through another platform causing difficulties accsssing check in information. Very disappointing

Perfect Stay

Was beyond impressed with our stay at Railway Cottage. Home was charming and very well maintained and clean. The beds were comfy and exactly what we needed after a long drive. Wish we had been able to stay longer, next time!

A lovely Martinborough retreat

We had a lovely stay at the Railway Cottage! The cottage was very sweet, clean and well equipped. The location is excellent, a few minutes walk away from the center of Martinborough and the host, Cheryl was lovely and very accommodating. Would highly recommend staying here!

Perfect weekend getaway

Could not rate this stay any more highly. Cheryl was extremely accomodating in some requests we had leading up to our stay, and the house itself is a gorgeous and spacious property. Super close proximity to the Square as well. Stayed in Martinborough a few times, and this by far was the best experience.
