About Kylemore Railway Cottage

Perched on the outskirts of the quaint, rural village of Uffington, near Stamford, Lincolnshire, lies this sympathetically-converted, former railway station, Kylemore Cottage. A trainspotter's haven, featuring an original-stone exterior, a contemporary interior, and set near numerous walkways and cycle paths, this charming property is perfect for families or friends sharing, looking to enjoy a relaxing, self-catered stay in the Lincolnshire countryside. The station cottage dates back to 1840; Kylemore Cottage is Grade II listed building and family member Joseph William Holt converted the building from the original station house in the 1950’s and made it habitable. After you’ve parked up on the driveway and unpacked your belongings, make yourself at home in your new lodgings by setting up shop in the well-appointed, elegantly-designed kitchen/diner to rustle up a delicious feast for the whole group. Savour your culinary delights around the dining table in the dining room, where you and your loved ones can catch-up on the day’s events by the warmth of a crackling woodburning stove, before retreating to the thoughtfully-laid out sitting room, complete with plush sofas and a stylish, wall-mounted Smart TV with Sky. Open the bi-fold doors and take a glass of your favourite beverage out into the serene rear garden, where you can take in the fresh, country air whilst watching as the trains zoom past your lovely new home-from-home. When sleep calls, retire to one of four bedrooms, including a king-size with en-suite shower – an idyllic spot to refresh and rejuvenate after a long, fun-filled day. This property is a gift for railway enthusiasts with steam engines passing by the front door on a few occasions throughout the year and it is opposite one of the very few manned signal boxes in the country. If you can tear yourself away from your new dwelling, explore the local area by dining out at The Bertie Arms, serving traditional pub fare, or head a little further to The Millstone at Barnack, a gastropub, perfect for those evenings where you fancy taking a break from cooking. In nearby Stamford, visitors will find plenty to do and see, such as roaming the grounds of Burghley House or St Leonard's Priory or paying a visit to the National Trust landmark of the Priest's House, Easton on the Hill. The property also enjoys proximity to the iconic Burghley Horse Trials, held at Burghley House, which is a three-day event held annually and classed as one of the world's premier multi-day equestrian competitions. Choose Kylemore Cottage for the most memorable stay in Lincolnshire.

Kylemore Railway Cottage Reviews

Kathleen
Fantastic location and house Everything you need and more
Michael
Kylemore is a beautiful cottage. It is extremely spacious and has been renovated to a very high standard. We loved sitting on the balcony at the rear of the property where the uninterupted countryside views are wonderful. We also enjoyed watching the variety of different trains passing by, and quickly become accustomed to their rumbling sound. There was plenty to occupy us in the surrounding area and we even ventured as far as Cambridge which was wonderful. There are lots of places to eat out, and our personal favourite was the Bertie Arms which serves up some delicious food and is only halhf a mile away. We have stayed in many cottages over the years and all agreed that Kylemore is our favourite.
Our family of seven stayed for a long weekend over the August Bank Holiday. We found the house to be very user friendly, well equipped and very comfortable. The trains take a bit of getting used to as we live in a very quiet location, but that is not an issue the owners can change and we expected this before we went. Overall we were very happy with the cottage.
Jeanette
A fabulous cottage, very special with everything provided that you could think of. Even a cot and highchair which we hadn't realised. We were 6 adults, 2 toddlers, a baby & dog and we had ample space. The viewing balcony was absolutely amazing! As was the new table, chairs and umbrella, especially in the hot spell as we had all our meals outside. Trains were loud especially the freight on some nights. Thanks to Yvette and her dad for sorting a water pressure problem so promptly, very much appreciated. A stunning property in a wonderful area.
Lesley
Kylemore is a lovely place to stay, the railway next to the property is unique as its a manned crossing, we enjoyed watching the trains pass by. The area is beautiful and do peaceful being in the countryside. The house is very well equipped and very comfortable. Lovely surroundings. Stamford is a lovely area to visit and do some shopping. The local pubs Bertie arms the one we went up was lovely. Thank you for our stay.
The property was lovely and in a lovely par of the country. We had an enjoyable long weekend me and my brothers and sister and partners. The house was perfect for 3 couples and a single. The communication with the host, Yvette, was great. She kindly organised an essentials shop and that was there when we arrived. She also patiently navigated me to the cutlery drawer which I couldnt find in the modern kitchen. The cottage was next to a working railway line the clues in the cottages name which gave great interest although the goods trains that came past were a little loud and did disturb when they came through at night. We got used to that. Allinall, a great stay.

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.
