• "All three generations of our family adored the Station Master’s Cottage."

  If you like trains, it is the perfect setting & the train theme continues within the cottage, delighting the children. It was welcoming, warm, comfortable & very well-equipped. It’s been a great find for us … we will be back

• "A wonderful stay with the children ages ranging from 6 years to 20, one of whom loves trains."

  They all loved waving at them passing by. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with enough space to accommodate us all. We visited Drayton Manor, which was about an hour away, Cabury World, (which teens and tots all enjoyed, especially the chocolate handouts) and Severn Valley railway. There are large supermarkets close by as well as a local shop and plenty of takeaways. The only 'faults' were nowhere to dry laundry on a rainy day and could have had more crockery particularly children friendly dishes. We hand to put the dishwasher on after breakfast to ensure clean crockery for tea and vicer versa.

• "Good location, we soon got used to the passing trains."

  Kids loved waving to the passengers. Beds were very comfortable, lounge was spacious and enough seating for our group of 7 people. One challenge was the kitchen utensils in that the saucepans did not make it easy to cook for 7 people and some were scratched and slightly burnt. I would recommend having these replaced. It was easy to get out and about, we went to the Black Country Museum, the Falconry center just up the road and also visited Worcester good shopping center and the Cathedral was most impressive. All in all a good holiday for kids and adults alike.

• "Lovely stay, thank you."

  Great communication prior to our stay, and a great cottage. The fridge is a little small for a cottage that sleeps 8.

  Appreciate taking time to complete and advise you had a lovely stay. Would have been helpful to understand why only 3 out of 4 on every aspect of the cottage. 75 out of 100 is concerning when my average overall is 90 plus. Property Owner

• "We’ve stayed in lots of Holiday cottages this was by far the best."

  The cottages is very luxurious with a lovely little garden big enough to throw the dogs in. Dog walking easy enough with local footpaths 5 minutes away. Couple local pubs too. I liked the trains passing by found that enjoyable. I’d like to see a tiny Bistro set out the front if they are allowed due to the road access . I wanted to book for Xmas but it’s not available but will definitely recommend and return. Andy & Tina Isle of Wight

  Glad you enjoyed. Thank you for taking the time to share with me and possible future guests. Look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

• "We all found the cottage cold and damp particularly the annexe a converted garage my daughter left earlier than planned."

  We were cold at night and bedding was inadequate. The cottage was packed with railwayana which we put up high away from the grandchildren but there was no stair gate or fire guard despite a steep stair and log burner which was unusable. The fridge was very small for a cottage described as sleeping eight. Plates were chipped …. We were disappointed

  Appreciate taking the time for feedback after your break. It’s a shame you didn’t make any contact. All could have been addressed if you had in the first instance. I’ve never received such a poor review. I’m very approachable and always respond with the customer service I’d expect. Impossible to rectify after the event. Property Owner

• "We had a very nice stay at the Station Masters Cottage."

  Communication with the owner was very easy and he provided useful information before our stay which made our arrival seamless. The property was cozy, clean and very comfortable. The location was perfect for our needs during our short stay. We enjoyed meals at the two local pubs which are within easy walking distance. We were very lucky to find this accommodation and hope to visit again.

  Thank you for your kind review. Hope you return for another stay. Property Owner

• "This is a beautiful traditional cottage, well presented and furnished."

  The kitchen is large and modern, adequately equipped. There is a lovely log burner in the lounge but be aware that logs and firelighters are “not an endless supply” - to quote the owner. I needed to buy both to keep the burner going during a cold week in the winter. The weather was frosty and icy but no grit or salt provided, one of us slipped on the ice, falling heavily at the front of the property. However the accommodation suited our multi generation stay and the village of Blakedown, although small, had two nice pubs for eating out. The cottage is situated in an area with lots to do and see to suit all generations.

  Thanks for feedback Hilary. Without it unable to look at possible improvements. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

  A must for any train buffs, and fascinating for all. The garden space is lovely, beautifully planted with flowers and herbs. Very easy to locate and access by road or train, with good walks from the cottage, and awesome walks within a short drive - we did Clent Hills. Should be noted that the "bunk" room are full size bunk beds.

• "The property was very welcoming and clean."

  It looked to be newly renovated also. It was a blessing to have tea, sugar, milk and bread left for our arrival as we had several travel delays. The owner left a very helpful visitors book which came in handy. Hairdryers and iron onsite meant we didn't have to bring them. No complaints whatsoever! Wonderful, thank you!
