Railway Cottage, Port Sunlight - Stanley-Stays

Great location, lovely welcome basket, comfortable space, super clean and spacious. Loved the area, easy to get into Liverpool, and the owner was a good communicator. Loved that there was a Christmas tree!

The back door was really hard to open and close, and the kitchen wasn’t as warm as the rest of the house.

Port Sunlight is a fascinatingly unique village and well worth a visit. The property is delightful and tastefully decorated with many interesting historic details. The bathroom is just WOW! The photos don't do it justice. We instantly felt very at home. There were some very thoughtful touches such as the lights being switched on to prevent stumbling around in the dark on a winter night and a pint of milk in the fridge for a warming cuppa. The renter was easy to communicate with. Having an Aldi just up the road was extremely handy especially if you're travelling there by train and can't bring many supplies.

The property isn't easy to find using Google Maps, it wants to take you to the rear of the house for entry via the back gate which is locked from the inside. I asked for exact details which were sent quickly and easy to follow. An outside light would be handy to see the keybox if arriving when it's dark. The Hive heating system is a little difficult to use, kept defaulting to 7 degrees which was a bit too chilly for November. The TV was even more of a challenge. Perhaps a folder containing simple typed out instructions for those unfamiliar with these items could be put together.

Great stay facilities excellent. Handy location for all my needs family and area

All was good 👍

It’s a beautiful,cosy,spacious cottage in a rare ,frozen in time,magical bubble.I love its history,I love the Beatles connection and I rate Port Sunlight as one of the nicest places in the UK to visit and stay ( I have covered my travel pin board,in flags for the whole of the UK) I don’t mind passing trains and they were not excessively loud at all.Cant recommend enough.People with a bedroom curtain problem,should perhaps try the blind instead! Yes,the curtains are decoration only.We took 2 miniature dachshunds who were occupied for 2 day’s,investigating previous canine visitors scents.All good though,I could not smell dogs at all.No problem with mattresses but may have been replaced ?

Reading all the other reviews- I think it would help future guests to know what is and isn’t available at the cottage.I must agree that I had expected shower gel/ soap in the bathroom and there was none.We did have fresh milk and more than 2 teabags.It would be useful to know about a hospitality tray in kitchen ie.tea,coffee,sugar,milk,biscuits and cooking utensils available,even if just the basics are there ie.plates/bowls/cups/glasses and standard cutlery.Locks on kitchen door need fixing,especially 2 bolts.

Very clean bathroom suite, nice large rooms. Excellent location.

Mattress in the main bedroom was very soft, although I understand some people will prefer this. For the money paid, it might have been nice to have more than two tea bags provided. A pint of milk would have also been useful as we arrived quite late.
