Rowden Mill Station

Built in the 1890s and renovated in 1984, Rowden Mill Station is an authentically restored 1897 rural Great Western Railway train station. Outwardly the station and grounds are restored to the original GWR specifications, while internally the buildings are now fully equipped for modern living.

The Station Building accommodates 4 guests in two bedrooms. It has a lounge with a wood-burning stove, a well fitted kitchen and a family bathroom. The magnificent station canopy over the platform provides a spectacular setting for outside dining and from where to enjoy the extensive countryside views.

Along the platform is the Parcel Office, also original to the station. This self-contained space has an en-suite bathroom, a wood-burning stove and kitchen facilities, along with a fabulous home-cinema. The Parcel Office provides a perfect escape for a couple and also works well as an annexe for larger families or groups of friends visiting the station.

The Saloon Coach also accommodates 4 guests in two bedrooms. Situated next to the former cattle dock just along the line on Platform 2, the Saloon Coach is our most recent addition. Thanks to the panorama windows fitted to this former British Railways Inspection Saloon it enjoys a view of the whole station site from the 1960s styled lounge. Our Saloon Coach has access to the green platform purpose built BBQ facilities.

The GWR ‘TOAD’ Brake Van is our new offer for 2026 and sleeps two. Sited alongside our second green platform, the 1947 Swindon built TOAD is now converted to sleep 2 in the comfort of a bespoke wooden panelled bedroom with modern en-suite facilities and a fully featured kitchen. The panoramic window now filling the original open-ended guard’s canopy is a fabulous feature, framing the view of the rest of the station site. The TOAD has its own picnic facilities in the former cattle dock and has access to the green platform purpose built BBQ facilities.
