Luxury train journeys were once defined by Pullman train services such as the Orient Express, The Golden Arrow and Bournemouth Belle, and some of their Pullman carriages have been lovingly restored here. There are 4 Pullman carriages providing 8 suites. Many elements have been improved - (they now have working central heating), while others are simply retained - such as the splendor of the decorations. In addition, the Old Station House itself has been tastefully restored, providing 2 additional rooms if the railway carriages are full. They are all tastefully decorated.
It is not impossible to imagine yourself returning to the heyday of steam and The Old Station provides a perfect overnight stop if you are planning to participate in nearby themed events such as the historic Goodwood motor sport weekends. Anniversaries would have a touch of class here, especially if you choose to do the right thing and dress appropriately for the occasion as would have been required in a Pullman.
Goodwood House, racecourse and racing track is nearby as is the South Downs for country walks.
