Pullman adventure.

A very different experience, made most enjoyable by the owners and their staff, for whom nothing was too much trouble. Excellent food, delightful surroundings and everything leads to a further visit.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
