    This was the second time we'd stayed in the place. We liked it so much the first time, three years ago, that we decided to make a return visit. We were not disappointed. The accommodation is extremely comfortable and well managed. When we arrived...

    Lovely quirky property. Everything you need for a self catering stay. Clean and comfortable. The trains aren’t troublesome and don’t run through the night. Great communication with owner without being intrusive and a generous welcome basket too!

    Loved the place & was really well looked after. It's cool what they have done with the station & whilst trains do run by, there aren't that many & it really wouldn't put me off staying again

This beautiful station building is divided into two self-contained holiday lets, The Waiting Room (this two bed property) and The Booking Office (a three bed property). Both Cottages can be booked together for larger groups (10 max). Accommodation on offer comprises of small entrance lobby with concertina doors enclosing a utility area housing a washer/dryer. The lobby leads into a dining room, kitted out with electric fire, and dining furniture with comfortable seating for four. An exposed brick archway leads through to modern galley kitchen with country feel, comprising of a range of well stocked wall & base units, electric oven & hob, fridge/freezer, integrated dishwasher and a vast array of kitchen tools, pots, pans, glassware, crockery and more. Off the kitchen is a good sized lounge with rear door leading to platform patio. Up the stairs you will find a family bathroom with corner bath and electric shower over, a good size twin room with two single beds, built-in wardrobe, bedside tables, chest of drawers and a blanket/luggage box under Velux window. The master bedroom is a spacious double with king size bed, bedside tables, dressing table/drawers, built-in wardrobe, blanket box under the Velux window and access on through to the en-suite with WC and wash hand basin. Outside guests can enjoy the platform lawn & BBQ area, a relaxing setting with unspoilt views over the Herefordshire countryside. Each cottage has its own private seating and dining space with BBQ, but please note while there is secure fencing along the boundary to the railway line, your platform terrace is not fully enclosed. However, the main yard gates can be kept closed to create a large & secure communal space, which is ideal for those with dogs or children. In the main yard there are good sized lawns for garden games and badminton (provided), as well as plenty of additional seating. We look forward to welcoming you.
Nestled within the rolling hills of Herefordshire and surrounded on all four sides by Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, our "rural station" is the perfect place to enjoy the English rural idyll, with plenty of railway history thrown in! The accommodation is situated on the site of the original station building which was operational from 1861 to 1965, and has been rebuilt in the style of a typical Great Western Railway building of the Victorian/Edwardian era. Our family residence is on site, so while you will of course have uninterrupted enjoyment of our holiday cottages & gardens, we will always be available should you need us.
