The Old Station Inn

Overall quite expensive for a pub meal/drinks. The carriage is beautiful, the bar too cluttered.

The Old Station is a wonderfully quirky pub, with a dining room which is an old train carriage. The rooms are themed - we had the New York room - and with fun decorative touches like the cat and mouse stickers on the wall. The only thing that stops the Old Station from getting the full 5 stars in every question is the low pressure in the shower. It was OK for a basic wash, but I’d not want to wash my hair in it.

Stayed here for a few nights with my mom. Was an hour from bath on the bus, about 25 minutes with uber, but there was a bus stop right by the inn, so that was convenient. Everything was clean, but could use some updates like AC and better mattresses and pillows. Food at the inn was fantastic and it was a cool experience dining in the train car

The staff seemed friendly and waited for me as I was later than anticipated. The room was varied. The bed was uncomfortable, the mattress was old with a very inadequate mattress topper on it. The carpet didn't quite fit so was a different carpet under the desk. The room was very hot and weirdly despite being about 23 degrees outside the heating was on. The shower rail and the light fitting in the bathroom had rust spots on them. The oil-filled radiator had thick dust on it. My biggest issue was the safety. The outer door had a strange push button latch as well as a handle - I struggled to open it and the owner came over and helped me in. From the inside of my room, there was no handle just the Yale latch. The door was very tight in the frame and I struggled to open the door from the inside. I was on the verge of phoning for help the first time I tried to leave. The 2nd morning I got a friend to push the door from the outside and left it ajar. If there was a fire I doubt I would have got out.

The owners of the property were lovely, they were very welcoming. The dining option was great; we dined in an old railway carriage, and the food was tasty and plentiful. However, the room was in a poor state, on our way in there was a strong smell of urine. Once inside the room, the smell changed to damp, the window was wide open when we arrived but this had no effect on the smell. The bathroom was dirty, thick dust on the radiator, mould on the electric shower control box, mould on the showerhead, mould on the sealant around the bath, and dead flies in the overhead light. There had been a water leak in the bathroom as the wooden panel behind the toilet was warped and the door was water damaged. In the bedroom, there was an oil filled radiator which was absolutely filthy.The bed was a small double.The divan bed base was mouldy as was the mattress. The mattress was old, stained and topped with a mattress topper, this did nothing, the bed was uncomfortable and we did not sleep properly. Our room (no 4) is not suitable for guests, it needs the damp sorting, a new bed and a good clean. It would also have been nice to have some toiletries in the bathroom.

Great food available

Lovely place to stay for the night. The food was good the and the staff were welcoming. My only comments would be to upgrade the shower and provide a more efficient hair-dryer.

Great place to stay at a reasonable price Plebty of free parking just a shame there’s no breakfast but still a great place

Very friendly staff . We loved the dining car for dinner . We left early in the morning , so we didn’t try the breakfast. Our room was on the smaller side but very comfortable and loved the decor . Set in a separate building from the pub and dining room .

Lovely place, lovely people, lovely food and great value for money
