This is perhaps one of the most beautiful and scenic stations I have seen in the UK. While it really feels its part of a film noir, it is pretty functional.

There is a station Refreshment Room offering Tea, coffee and snacks available from Spring until Autumn in “The Well House” alongside the picnic area on platform 2. There is also a disabled toilet and baby changing facilities are available on platform 1. You can check the train times to nearby destinations as well.
