About the host
Hosted by Host
Station House, Lanchester is home to me and the gorgeous pooch Iggy. After many years of living in the south, I was lucky enough to find Station House and returned to my home county and the village my parents so loved. Having dreamed of one day of leaving the hustle and bustle of office life and owning a Bed and Breakfast, Station House was the perfect home for me. Built in 1852 and formerly Lanchester Railway Station it has been refurbished into a wonderful home with additional sumptuous accommodation where guests can relax in comfort and style. Nestled in the heart of the village, Station House hosts a maximum of 6 guests, two double Bed and Breakfast rooms and one holiday cottage for two, so you will always be provided with the personal service and exceptional hospitality you deserve.
