Very nice hosts. Reasonably priced. Outstanding pub up the road but be careful walking back after dark, there's no footpath for a short stretch ! Old fashioned in style but there's nothing wrong with that...if you want anonymous McDonalds-style accommodation stay elsewhere.

We'd book there again, no probs. Just hope they have availability.

this is the 2nd time we have stayed at the old station guest house
the owners are lovely,the room are fine clean and tidy, tea and coffee set up in the room.
there is a train track behind the guest house,and as for noise there is a little but what else would you expect..........
i think the other people who winged about about it should really look at the title of the guest house
breakfast was fine i had a lovely veggie one and my hubby a meat breakfast.
there is a pub a few min walk away,but you do need to book .
shustoke has lovely little villages dotted around it.
and its really easy to get to.
if we were up that way again we would stay at ye old station guest house.

I'm amazed about the comment, "a quiet rumble from the trains". We stayed at this B&B, which, while rather old-fashioned and dated, was very friendly and welcoming. However, none of us got a good night's (or even a night's) sleep at all. The trains were extremely loud all through the night and shook the entire room. Breakfast was actually very disappointing, wtih very cheap sausage and rather greasy overall. It was in a very convenient location for our puposes but if I were to return to the area for the NEC etc, I would look elsewhere. The Bull at Furnace End (5 mins' walk away) was superp for food (need to book).

I bartered for my b&b price because I stayed for 4 nights and was on a tight budget. I got a good deal but my room didn’t look like any on the internet photos so I may have been downgraded? However I got a double bed for the price of a single. It had a bit of a spooky feel to stay in on my own (it was a bit gloomy with dark furniture) but I got used to it. The shower and sink were in the room and the toilet was separate. Les and Pat are very nice and friendly and the breakfast was super - very tasty. The place is quite remote and very quiet, just the occasional gentle rumble of the trains, so a good night’s sleep is guaranteed. I was amazed at the high cost of accommodation in general in the area – couldn’t quite understand it, but I guess it’s all NEC custom? I didn’t visit so can’t say how long it would take to get there. I think if I had paid full price I would have felt cheated.
