The owners have paid great attention to detail to ensure guests have everything they need for a comfortable and memorable holiday. The station can accommodate six to seven guests, with parking just outside the building, and only ten minutes from the centre of the village. 

Accommodation and facilities comprise: 

• 'The Old Ticket Office' - now the lounge with the original pitch pine cladding on the walls, Victorian fire-place and wooden floor and ceiling. The ticket hatch has been preserved as it was, and the lounge is equipped with LCD television with Freesat and DVD player.  The comfortable sofa converts into a double bed together with tub chair, bean bag, armchair and footstool. 
• 'The Ladies Waiting Room' is now a bedroom with a quality king-size bed with bedside tables, LCD television, DVD, comfortable chair and fully fitted carpet. 
• The former 'Gentleman's Toilet' has been converted into a spacious luxury en-suite wet room with its own sauna and cold drench shower (as well as a thermostatically controlled hot one), and under-floor heating. 
• 'The Ladies Toilet' has been converted into a utility room with freezer, washing machine and tumble-dryer. A pulley system is available for drying coats and jackets. This room has a tiled floor and is suitable for the storage of bicycles, boots and your outdoor gear! 
• 'The Gentlemen's Waiting Room' is now the open-plan country kitchen and dining room. The pitch pine cladding has been retained along with the original wooden floor and ceiling, creating a cosy and warm atmosphere, reminiscent of the old days when passengers waited patiently for the train to arrive. There is a large island unit with breakfast bar, induction hob, with island cooker hood, microwave,  oven, dishwasher and fridge. The original Victorian open-hearth fire has been retained as a feature and a dining table and chairs make this a perfect place to unwind and discuss the days adventures!
• 'The Station Masters Office' is now a bedroom, and again has the original pine cladding on the walls and ceiling, along with the Victorian fireplaces as a feature. An original architectural feature has been utilised as a bed head for either a king-size or twin beds (zip and link), and a sumptous mattress topper has been provided for the king-size bed. The bedroom has a LCD television with Freesat, DVD player, hair dryer and is carpeted for comfort. 
• Shower room with large walk-in shower, underfloor heating, heated towel rail, wash basin and WC.
