'When can we come back?' asked a visitor in 2012 who had initial misgivings about this unusual B&B, a conversion of a disused railway station and four Pullman carriages. 'We checked in at the old ticket office window and were ushered along the platform to our carriage. Returning to the waiting room, a wonderful space with leather-buttoned sofas and chairs, we sat by the fire and enjoyed complimentary coffee and a slice of very English cake.' The atmosphere was one of 'well-organised clutter' and 'great comfort'. The owners, Gudmund Olafsson (Icelandic) and Catherine Stormont, are supported by a 'highly competent staff'. Eight bedrooms are in the carriages: 'Ours was narrow as you would expect, but comfortable, well furnished with a good bed, two antique chairs and chest of drawers. The adjustable radiator heating was good; the bathroom was surprisingly spacious, with a proper bath.' Two larger rooms are in the main building. Breakfast has a 'beautifully presented fruit salad, good juice, a cafetière of freshly ground coffee and various cooked dishes (eggs were free range). Milk came in jugs and butter in little dishes.' (Andrew and Moira Kleissner)

A warm, welcoming building. The waiting room, where we took coffee, is a wonderful space with an atmosphere of well-organised clutter. Our carriage was comfortable and well furnished (you need a certain amount of agility). The bathroom was surprisingly spacious. The breakfasts were splendid and unhurried. Good value.
