Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a wonderful experience. The rooms are beautifully appointed and surprisingly spacious. The service provided was excellent, and the location is truly unique. The dining was top-notch, although a common area for guests to gather in the evening would have been a nice addition.
My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The rooms were spacious, with a king-sized bed and a comfortable lounge area. Enjoying tea on the platform overlooking the charming garden created a unique and relaxing getaway, although it was a bit crowded on the first day. The service was top-notch with welcoming, helpful, and very kind staff, making me feel right at home. The location was fantastic, with friendly and helpful staff, beautiful carriages to explore, and a lovely old railway platform for breakfast in the sunshine. The dining experience was truly outstanding, especially indulging in the afternoon cream teas on the old station platform. The facilities were great, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
