The station opened on 14 October 1929 by the North Pembrokeshire and Fishguard Railway. It was situated on the east side of a road on the B4328. It opened along with four other halts: Castlebythe Halt, Beulah Halt, Jordanston Halt and Martell Bridge Halt. It was the busiest of the others, even though it was in a remote area that only served farms and the nearby New Inn. It closed along with the line on 25 October 1937. [1] [2]
