Rowden Mill Station offers unique self-catering holidays at a beautifully restored 1890s former Great Western Railway country station. Brought back from derelict in 1984, the station has been outwardly recreated to its original specifications, while internally it is now fully equipped for modern living.

The Station Building accommodates 4 guests. The magnificent canopy over the platform provides a spectacular setting for outside dining and from where to enjoy the countryside views.

Along platform One is the Parcel Office, original to the station. This self-contained studio has a fabulous home-cinema.

The Parcel Office provides a perfect escape for a couple while also works well as an annexe for larger families or groups of friends visiting the station.

Our Platform Two opened in 2022 with the arrival of our railway carriage ‘The Saloon Coach’, it also accommodates 4 guests. Thanks to the panorama windows, the carriage enjoys a view of the whole site from the 1960's styled lounge, and has its own dedicated picnic and bbq facilities.

The site includes rail tracks, a ground frame and signalling, a working weighbridge along with level crossings and GWR lamp posts. Proudly in 2023, we received a national award for ‘restoration on a closed line’.

With Bromyard a 5-minute drive away with extensive market town facilities, we are positioned amongst wonderful countryside. Whether you want a quiet retreat in a setting from yesteryear or a base for your visits exploring Herefordshire, Rowden Mill Station is just the ticket!

Caring For The Planet

At Rowden Mill Station, we are very interested in managing our site to create and enhance habitats for wildlife: by making a pond, we now see frogs, newts or dragonflies and their life-cycle; year on year we add wildflower seeds to our meadow by the tracks which in turn attracts insects and butterflies; with new hedge laying done we have increased hedgerows that provide a safe haven for birds and small mammals. Also interested in promoting local and regional sources of food and drink, we have a directory of places for our guests to discover when visiting us.

Rowden Mill Station Recommends

Nestling between the apples and the hops of Brook House Farm on the southern outskirts of Bromyard, we recommend a tasting session at 'Little Pomona Orchard and Cidery' to discover all about apples, cider and cider making from the passionate group headed by Susanna and James Forbes.
