The Old Railway Station

I found this hidden gem to stay and booked to stay with my brother and cousin. The setting is beautiful and the carriages have been beautifully restored. We had drinks on the platform and later ate in the dining carriage. My brother wasn't well so asked if the desserts could be taken back to the carriage. The staff couldn't be more helpful and brought them to us. The respectfully asked if they could come in to lay the dessert tray down. We all had a good night's sleep and had a superb breakfast the following morning in the restored waitingroom. The attentionto detailis great and we had breakfast listening to 1940s music. Well worth a visit.

We visited on the 17th of November and as we half expected the tea room was empty, however despite the fact that we had booked well in advance nothing had been done to provide a comfortable environment for two people in a cold barn like room. The sandwiches had been thawed, just, the scones however had not successfully been microwaved after freezing and were tough, the cake selection was tired. The tea was hot and good quality.

This is an amazing place - I organised a birthday treat with tea and cake on arrival, then a wonderful evening meal and overnight stay. The welcome could not have been better, the rooms nicely decorated and well maintained. The breakfast was delicious- highly recommend

We celebrated our anniversary here with a 2 night weekend break. We stayed in a king-size Pullman carriage room, this was absolutely fabulous. From the moment we arrived we had the warmest welcome and we were shown to our carriage. All the staff were so lovely and wanted us to enjoy our time there. The carriages are beautiful and still have most of the original Pullman carriage features, with the addition of a large bathroom with a walk in shower and a bath. We had breakfast in the old waiting room, which is a stunning room. And had a special dinner on board Princess Ena, their Pullman dining car. This is a gorgeous experience and the food was excellent. I was so excited about our visit and I was not disappointed, there is so much history here and if you are looking for a quirky and unique get away location this is perfect. They also gave us details for an off road walking route to Petworth, which we did. If you enjoy a good walk and don't mind it a bit muddy (it had been raining) this is a great walk past the historic Coultershaw mill and through local fields.

Such a lovely experience, food was super too. The carriage was quirky but very comfortable. A gorgeous pub the badgers is just down the road. Visited Petworth house and grounds and Petworth village is accessible from the house. Very interesting and went to cowdray estate on the Sunday.

Our first, but not the last time, at this beautiful restaurant, full of history from a Pullman Carriage from 1906. The food, service, and ambiance is second to none, with absolutely no complaints about the evening, or the level of authenticity for the year when it was recommissioned. Scallops, beef wellington, and home made cheesecake were delicious, and more than enough on the plate. The wine (New Zealand) was also very pleasant, and priced at a very reasonable rate. All in all, a lovely evening, with the owner, and Chef, taking time to talk to us. We will definitely be back.
