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.

Exquisite and efficient

A great experience. Original idea of using a closed railway station and Pulman carriages works really well. My only suggestion would be the ability to have alcoholic refreshments.
