Perfect for couples and travellers looking for something a little different, The Old Railway Station combines historic character with modern comfort.
The accommodation includes ten beautifully appointed double guest rooms, each tastefully decorated and furnished to a high standard.

Breakfast is a highlight at The Old Railway Station, freshly prepared each morning and served in The Waiting Room, where guests can enjoy a full English or continental option. The breakfast menu includes fresh milk, orange juice, tea or coffee, pastries, cereals, and freshly baked bread rolls. For a touch of indulgence, breakfast can also be delivered directly to the carriage rooms.
Afternoons at the station offer a chance to slow down and savour a traditional cream tea or afternoon tea, available to both guests and visitors. For added comfort, these can be enjoyed in the guest rooms for a peaceful, private experience.
A particular gem of The Old Railway Station is the Pullman Dining Car 1906 Princess Ena, an exquisitely restored carriage that now provides an atmospheric evening dining experience. Following three years of meticulous restoration, this rare Pullman carriage—one of only three imported from America in 1906—now stands as a testament to timeless craftsmanship and elegance. Guests can enjoy a single, unhurried dinner sitting in luxurious surroundings, sampling a menu created by an experienced chef who uses locally sourced ingredients to produce dishes full of flavour and creativity.
