Old Railway Station - Description

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. 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.
