There is a dedicated 18kw solar farm on the land next to the station feeding into a battery storage system in the plant room so you can be assured that your carbon footprint is very respectable during your stay!
Each of the units has a Firefox log burner installed and a good supply of logs are provided for your comfort.
If you bring young children please ensure they are monitored when outside at all times as the station platform access is just outside the building
There is also a shared access road to the adjacent factory and vehicles can pass the building quite fast.
All windows are double glazed inside as well as the original single glazed sash windows so noise from trains and traffic is hardly noticeable due to the triple glazed system
