The Old Railway Station

Step back in time and remember how comfortable luxury trains were. There are 4 ex- Pullman carriages - each one divided into 2 accommodations. There is also a Pullman dining car serving dinners in the old style further down the platform. The cars are very comfortable with tastefully appointed furnishing. The on suite is enormous with a large bath and shower. If you wish, you can take a cream tea served on the station platform overlooking the garden where the tracks used to be . I particularly enjoyed the breakfast served in the old waiting room. The room is styled just as it was in the old days - with the old brass lamps on the wall and quiet ambient music in the back ground. Fabulous - and you are not even waiting for a train.

A huge thankyou to Blair, Jenny and the team for taking such good care of us, for yet another birthday celebration evening spent with you, in your beautiful new dining carriage! We were thoroughly looked after, with first class service and a delicious cake made especially for me. We felt like VIP's from the moment we arrived to our departure! The food was amazing, as always, and it was an evening everyone will remember! Looking forward to our return already...

The most relaxing and wonderful place to go.the staff were amazing and the cleanliness was second to none.will be going back for certain. Rooms lovely,ideal place for a relaxing stay.

Average afternoon as a belated Mother’s Day present to us all. Very disappointing sandwich selection, thinnest ham ever with mustard, grated cheese and pickle and cucumber, on it own! Really.. very sad selection . Tiny quiches were nice and the cakes a good selection were all tasted yummy. but this place has zero atmosphere and certainly didn’t warrant the price tag pp

Had a two nights stay at The Old Railway Station. The staff were first class from the moment we arrived. Couldn’t do enough for us. The carriage we stayed in was spotless and clean, not oversized but comfortable enough for the two of us. The evening meals here were quite the event. Fine dining and delicious. There was a little road noise but nothing too bad. Breakfast was very good with some lovely touches, such as the fruit pots. The only bad thing I would say, was the noise from the neighbouring cabin. The wall separating us wasn’t very soundproof and sadly other guests didn’t seemed bothered about making noise late at night. I would recommend a stay here, it was a wonderful experience, thank you.

The Old Railway in Petworth continues to impress on this second visit. While I didn't dine in the fine dining restaurant this time, the experience was still exceptional. The cream tea was simply delightful—freshly baked scones, rich clotted cream, and perfectly brewed tea made for an indulgent afternoon treat. The morning breakfast was equally outstanding, cooked to perfection with fresh ingredients that truly made a difference. The atmosphere remains as charming as ever, blending historic elegance with warm hospitality. Every detail, from the impeccable service to the beautifully maintained surroundings, adds to the welcoming feel. It’s clear that the care and dedication of the staff create an unforgettable stay. Whether enjoying a leisurely afternoon or starting the day with a fantastic meal, the Old Railway continues to be a hidden gem worth revisiting.
