The station is in a very rural area: the nearest sizeable settlement is Hopton Castle, and further afield the larger villages of Clungunford and Leintwardine, Herefordshire.

[1] Originally there were two tracks running through, but one has been lifted with the "singling" of the line between Craven Arms and Knighton in 1965.

In addition to the main building, the station has retained its stone weighbridge hut next to the entrance.

[2] A wooden waiting shelter is located on the platform, along with CIS display, customer help point and timetable poster board are provided to offer train running information.

[3] Access to the platform is via steps from the road bridge or alternatively via a level footpath (which cycles are also allowed to use) which runs south from the station to the "Ashlea Pools" holiday park entrance.
