This beautiful station building is divided into two self-contained holiday lets, The Booking Office (a three bed property) and The Waiting Room (a two bed property). Directly opposite the station there are large lawns to enjoy garden games, sun lounging or to simply enjoy a peaceful read. This is a truly wonderful country retreat to sit out in the gardens or on the platform and just soak in the country air! We're very fond of just sitting and listening to the birds singing and the breeze brushing through the trees - and the occasional train rolling past, of course! The station is situated down a quiet and pretty country lane within the agricultural heartland of Herefordshire's Frome Valley. We have plenty of parking and dog facilities. Nearest day kennels are: Larkholme Boarding House (01432 850317) £15/day, Ledbury Lodge Kennels (01531 670960) varying £'s. Click here for our Booking Terms & Conditions.
The closest shops are Bartestree Village Stores (6mins drive) & Newtown Cross Garage (7mins drive), who both sell all the fresh & cupboard essentials, and a good range of local produce – including some lovely beers & ciders! A bit further down the road (East, toward Ledbury) you will find a wonderful little spot called The Nest, which boasts a wealth of local, unusual, and truly delicious local produce, as well has offering a café and “pop-up” bar (please phone ahead to check if/when serving), There’s also a well-stocked garden centre. If you’re in need of a slightly bigger shop, then there’s plenty of choice in the Tudor market towns of Hereford (15mins) & Ledbury (12mins), but for ease of access, we recommend the latter – both the Tesco & Aldi are on a very simple route, with not much traffic to contend with.
The main entrance is accessed via the sheltered "corridor" in the centre of the building, opening up into a spacious lobby area with stone fire surround housing a double sided wood burning stove, linked through to the living room.
