About this property

Welcome to The Old Station B&B

Located in Leaton near Bomere Heath, this guest house offers a unique stay set within a former train station, which is reflected in its characterful decor and historical artifacts on display. Guests have appreciated the property's distinct charm, including stained glass windows and a cozy, homely atmosphere that diverges from more modern, minimalist styles.

Great little B&B. It has a bit of history attached to it because it used to be a station house. They still have a lot of old artifacts from it's former use. The owners are super helpful and very accommodating. They looked after my family while I was getting married just down the road at Malt House Barn. Just be aware that this is only about 8 feet from an active railway line. This will not be a problem to most and will even be part of the attraction to some but don't stay here and then complain about trains... It's called the Old Station for a reason.

Stayed at The Old Station B&B in September and what a gem of a find. Excellent location to wedding venue we attended and hospitality we received from Colan and Margaret was second to none. Each bedroom has been individually styled with great attention to detail and the stained glass windows exquisite. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. If your in the area this place is a must. You won't be disappointed

Visited last summer with my son on our way south. I thought I had posted a review then but discovered it hadn’t gone through. We were cycling to Evesham. We had a fabulous time. The food was excellent and the room was extremely comfortable. Margaret and Colin were excellent hosts. We would definitely go back if they would have us.

My wife and I had the chance to add a stop on our UK trip and we chose Shrewsbury. The only bad thing was only spending one night. The Old Station B&B is where the old train station was…hence the name. We were warmly welcomed by Lord Col and his wife Lady Margaret. This is a quiet atmosphere filled with some of the finer things in life. Our meals, served on beautiful china and cut crystal water glasses, set the tone for relaxing and beautiful meals. Lord Langley- Ingress enjoys people and sharing stories about the station as well and local and British history. Lady Margaret Langley-Ingress is a superb cook and we were so glad to enjoy her meals. Dinner is extra and SO worth it. Lady Margaret creates an amazing duck dinner, complete with pear salad and a brilliant Pavlova for dessert. Treat yourself and add the dinner!!! If we make it back to the UK, we will be back. Cheers.

Came for a wedding at pimhill Barn. Much nicer than a soulless premier inn. L&L Col and Margaret very sociable and friendly and had lots of stories to tell. They have a ground floor room with a wet room for anyone with mobility issues. The rooms arehuge. If you like minimalist it's not for you! There's lots of furniture and trinkets to look at, lots of info on the railways and channel tunnel. Breakfast was excellent, vegetarians no problem. Generally clean and comfortable, a bit quirky, very memorable! Parking on site, random check in time not a problem either. Give then a visit!

Stayed at the OS B&B for the second time in July 2025 and received the same warm welcome as on a previous visit. The decor is as you would expect of an old station but with up to date extras in the rooms and the stained glass windows are beautiful. Margaret and Col are the perfect hosts and generous with their time and hospitality and the breakfast is delicious and plentiful. Can 100% recommend and, if you are a train buff, The Old Station B&B at Leaton is a must.
