Railway Cottage - Home away from Home

This lovely cozy retreat is situated in the heart of Martinborough and its surrounding vineyards, cafes, and shops. It's just two minutes walk to the village and an easy walk to some of the best vineyards in the district.

The cottage offers all the charm of yesteryear mixed with modern features and appliances. Railway Cottage's open plan living flows out to a covered deck. The perfect outdoor setting for dining, enjoying the country air or just soaking up the sun with a good book. A lovely heater on the deck for curling up with a blanket on the evenings or cold days.

If you experience one of those rainy days you can relax in front of the gas fire, entertaining yourself with the selection of DVD's, books and board games available.

There are two mountain bikes available onsite if you are looking for some exercise.

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.
