The Station Flat, Benny Halt, St Newlyn East, Cornwall inc Scilly, TR8 5LX

The surprisingly spacious and well fitted out flat is above the ticket office of The Lappa Valley Steam Railway.It was fun having breakfast and viewing small steam trains from the window.There are 2 good sized bedrooms and the open plan kitchen,diner,lounge is L-shaped and roomy with 2 comfortable sofas.The wi-fi is good and reliable though the phone signal is virtually non existent.

The setting is great and the peace and quiet in the evening is blissful.Also there is no light pollution giving good views of the night sky on a clear night.

We found all locations we wanted easily and did not find the narrow lanes any problem at all.Also you have your own designated parking space.

Included in the rental is free usage of all the attractions railways(3 of them) and other facilities which are mainly child oriented.

Also it is dog friendly.

A great place to stay.

This was a last minute (no, really!) booking. Having been let down by where we were meant to stay for a week, we were really lucky to find somewhere so close and so comfortable. The Station flat is well equipped, tastefully furnished and decorated in a light, modern style. It's isolated, rural location could be described as idyllic (with pond, cute wildlife, shady trees, grassy areas). However, the narrow, winding 3 mile journey from the main road can seem a lot further in the dark and the lack of street lights - or any lights to guide you from the car park

Clean warm and very peaceful quite remote but lots of walks, staff very helpful, a long walk up the hill to the village but shops and pub very good, making the walk back down the hill less noticeable,

I have left a review for this fantastic place previously, but it seems to have disappeared! So - I booked the station flat with my partner in mind as he is a life-long steam enthusiast. I thought it looked a quirky place to stay.

We did not realise how wonderful an experience our stay would be. The flat or apartment above the ticket office was wonderful in every way. It had only recently been made into a holiday let, and everything was new. It was spacious and our welcome pack was very well thought out, including fresh flowers on the dining table :-)
