    My first impressions were that the Railway Cottage had taken everything to the next level: facilities, cleanliness, location, decor, the lot. A very well-presented, well-maintained place with lovely views at the back and easy parking at the front,...

    Tastefully decorated, thoughtful welcome goodies including for the dogs. Small but secure garden with grass was great for the dogs. It would be lovely to see the steam trains pass at a weekend.

A Truly unique stay! Step inside this idyllic, picture-perfect Victorian cottage set in the heart of Leicestershire’s Charnwood Forest, on England’s only Main Line Heritage Railway. Built in 1897, The Railway Cottage has been lovingly designed to offer luxury, comfort and tranquillity; the perfect place to unwind and relax away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, whilst listening to the hoots and whistles of the steam trains running at the end of the garden. The Railway cottage is the perfect place to explore the Leicestershire countryside, with plentiful walks, numerous pubs and restaurants nearby and much more! Upon entering The Railway Cottage through the signature pink door, you will be greeted by a large and spacious open plan dining/living room, the hub of the home. Rich in Victorian character, you will instantly feel welcome and at home and ready to start exploring the local area. Not ready to head out just yet? That’s ok. Let yourself sink into the conformable sofa with a pot of tea and let the world go by. Or why not head down to the bottom of the garden and make yourself comfortable, and wave at the steam trains as they chug on by? Whether you’re a seasoned chef, or prefer something quick and easy, the fully equipped kitchen will make preparing meals super easy. You will find everything you need to ensure that you and your guests have everything you need at your fingertips. The two spacious bedrooms feature characterful, French style double beds, with premium, hotel grade linens, owing to a blissful, and relaxing night’s sleep. Both bedrooms have plenty of storage, so you can be sure to benefit from a clutter-free space during your stay. In the bathroom, you will find elegant fixtures, with an emphasis on luxury and convenience. After a long day exploring the countryside, why not relax in the roll-top bath, and let warmth of the water carry you’re the stresses of everyday life into the past, while you rejuvenate and revitalise.
