Mr Marles
We wanted a chilled, relaxed getaway & we couldn't have been happier! The Station is visible as you come up the lane & immediately takes you back in time - the original station sign welcomes you at the gate and the view down to the platform is a picture. The station building from the outside looks just like it would have originally, painted in GWR livery colours. The inside was just as perfect, all the amenities you need & more. Its a real mix of having everything you want but with a nod to the original time & use of the building, original fireplace with a log burner, vintage fridge, old railway lamp converted for modern use & stable style front door. Although we didn't get to use it there is a table & chair set set down off the platform in the garden as well as a further seating area & fire pit at thd bottom of the grounds. We sat with the stable door half open listening to the birds in the morning whilst having a coffee. We have already said we want to go back later in the year when we can take advantage of the grounds more! Even if you're not a train enthusiast (I'm not ) you cant help but appreciate the work that has gone into the restoration inside & out of the cottage. We can't recommend it highly enough & can't wait to return!

Such an idyllic location in the Welsh country side, the cottage is incredibly cosy and so warm with the log burner.

We were delighted with the 3 night stay at Derry Ormond during November 2024. The detail that had gone into this renovation was expertly carried out with finesse and incredible style. The log burner was a special treat for us so that tipped this stay over to the luxury side. If you enjoy peace and tranquility with abit of history in the mix then this will tick all the boxes for you. We created fond memories during our stay which will last beyond our lifetime. Thank-you Sonia it was a blast!
