Formerly Petworth Railway Station, built in 1894 - now the perfect place to relax in colonial splendour.
The guest rooms are all double, en-suite. There are 2 rooms in the Station House, the remaining guest rooms are in our fully restored Edwardian Pullman railway carriages. The magnificent guest lounge was formerly the waiting room and has a 20 foot vaulted ceiling. It leads out onto the platform which is a popular summer venue for breakfast. The dining area backs onto the station master's and ticket office, now the station kitchen, and features the original ticket windows. In winter, breakfast is served, accompanied by a roaring log fire, in the booking hall.
The Old Railway Station, universally acknowledged as being one of Britain's most beautiful railway stations, was opened in 1894 as Petworth railway station. In its early years it played host to many a Royal visitor, King Edward VII, in particular, using it for his frequent visits to the Goodwood races. Passenger traffic through the station came to an end in 1955 with freight services ending 11 years later. The station house was restored in the 1980's and became a guest house in 1995. 3 Edwardian Pullman railway carriages were added in 1999 and provide delightful and unusual accommodation for 12 guests in 6, en-suite rooms. 2 further guest rooms are in the station house.
The hotel is set in 2 acres, with extensive landscaped gardens.

2 of our bedrooms are in the Station House. Both are double, en-suite, with one of them being convertible into a twin bedded room. The remaining 6 rooms are all in our Edwardian Pullman railway carriages. 5 of these rooms are, what we call, Standard Pullman rooms. These are all double bedded rooms with en-suite bathrooms with bath and shower. The 6th room is, what we call the King Size. This room is also double bedded (king size) and the room is longer than the others by approx. 2 meters with a much larger bathroom. All the rooms have digital LCD televisions, radios and tea & coffee making facilities.
The Old Railway Station is on the A285, 1.6 miles south of Petworth. When you reach the Badgers restaurant, pull in to the front of the pub then take the slip road that leads to The Old Railway Station.
