The Historic Masbury Station Signal Box, originally built in 1874 has now been sympathetically restored and converted to create an idyllic, remote getaway. This private, self contained accommodation surrounded by ancient railway & woodland offers a gorgeous interior with log burning stove, a tranquil setting to get cosy, relax and unwind. With stunning walks on the doorstep and many nearby Somerset landmarks to explore, this is the perfect unique escape to retreat or enjoy time with loved ones. The upstairs of the Signal Box provides the main living space. A bright interior with vaulted ceiling and glorious windows to enjoy the unique station views. The accommodation provides a comfortable Lounge Area with Log Burning Stove (logs provided) Fully Fitted Kitchen including Washing Machine (Please note: No dishwasher), Dining Table & Chairs. Stairs lead you down to the Bedroom below (King size bed) & Bathroom (Shower, Toilet, Sink). Wi-Fi, Cotton Linen & Towels are provided. Wood for the fire, Tea & Coffee complimentary. Travel Cot / High Chair available on request. This unique accommodation is positioned on the platform of the old Somerset & Dorset Line between the ‘Waiting Rooms’ (currently derelict - Joe’s next project!) and ‘The Station House’ (Restored to its former glory). When on the former station land you get a real sense of the history of station life where in the past people would have journeyed from Bath to Bournemouth. The old track and platform on one side of the building has become a unique garden landscape for guests to enjoy whilst the other overlooks the glorious woodland of The Dinder Estate.
We had an absolutely amazing stay, the property was very cosy, which is just what we wanted for the weekend. The weather was very British, so a morning sitting by the log burner as it rained outside was idyllic. Then when it cleared up outside it’s a short drive from Wells and Cheddar. It’s a lovely looking building inside and out, and it’s placed in a lovely area of the country. Would definitely recommend, and we’d love to visit again :) thanks so much! Jack
Absolutely love Joe’s signal box - it has been renovated to a beautiful standard with everything you need for a home from home break. Love the decor and furniture, the wood burner is lovely and really efficient keeping the place snug and cosy. We were able to check in early which was very welcome after a good walk in the woods. Close to Wells and Glasto so lots to do if you want it - but equally a peaceful yet quirky location for a welcome rest. I nodded off on the sofa a few times and the bed was really comfy too. Dogs welcome and settled in nicely - thank you so much for a super little break!
Great little place. Very cosy and warm with wood burner. Joe really friendly but relaxed. On hand if needed.
