The Old Railway station hotel
The hotel was amazing really lovely quiet place to relax. The local pub Badger was just down the road from the hotel and again the food was very good.
The cleanliness of the rooms was excellent, we will definitely be back.

This was a fabulous find. A beautiful setting, and ideal for for a short break. The staff are extremely helpful and very friendly and the breakfast was great. I'm very much looking forward to seeing how things progress with the newest Pullman which is being converted into a restaurant and would recommend a stay here.

A wonderful and unique hotel
A really superb small hotel. Staying in a railway carriage was a truly unique and wonderful experience. The carriages are well laid out and well equipped. We arrived when it was -5 degrees, so the room was a little cooler than we would have liked, but there were plenty of radiators to add heat. Breakfast was amazing and taken in a stunning old waiting room with a roaring fire. Staff were excellent too!

Excellent stay
We stayed in the Pullman King and it was lovely, there was a large bathroom with bath and shower which were spotless. The bed was really comfortable and the whole carriage was spacious and clean. Plenty of tea coffe etc. only recommendation would be a higher table so u could sit and eat without bending over. Breakfast in the restaurant was fresh and tasty with lots of nice touches. Would love to stay here again. Would also recommend Badgers pub down the road a 2 minute walk.

An interesting and quirk place. Loved it.
A really interesting, quirky and special place. We stayed in a Pullman 'room' which was comfortable, warm and cosy. The carriage had been converted brilliantly and retained its historic features. The station building also had been converted/renovated to a high standard and again retained historic references, tastefully done. Breakfast, cooked 'just for you' was excellent and was eaten in the old waiting room which had a lovely ambiance. Highly recommended if you want something different and if you have any interest in steam railways, you'll love it.

We liked the accommodation but booked afternoon tea for 4 people the spread wasn't quite what i expected for £25pp with no prosseco that had to be purchased separately very minimal couldn't really justify £128 in total for 1 sandwich each x2 scones 2 very small cakes and a tiny jam jar pot of chocolate mouse and tea/coffee

A very peaceful setting. You could barely here any traffic, just an owl for nighttime company. Everything was very clean and welcoming.The staff were relaxed and helpful. The carriages on arrival were warm and cosy. Toiletries provided. Tea and coffee, including a small cafetiere and corkscrew.
The tea room is beautifully restored and very inviting with a real fire. Nice scones and coffee and a choice of breakfast in the morning. You definitely need a car here, whilst there is a short walk close by in a wooded area, this also shows you some of the history of the area. it wasn’t really safe to walk miles due to lack of footpaths on a busy road.
