Guests will have private and exclusive access to the entire converted station during their stay. This includes all bedrooms, bathrooms, the kitchen, living areas, and any outdoor space mentioned. Make yourself at home and enjoy the unique blend of history and modern comfort this property offers.
We have for example retained the station platform clock with the controller in the railway bedroom. There are some logs next to the fire and further logs in the boot room if the weather is inclement.
The old station is tastefully converted into two separate holiday accommodation units, the Scotsman a three bedroom with a king and two doubles and a one bed the Yorkshireman with a double and single bed. Each of the units can be rented individually or both can be taken together providing three doubles a king and a single in total. Every booking comes with free parking anywhere on the site but note we will require your vehicle make, model and registration number to set up on the ANPR system. There is also a 22kw EV charging station at the station. The three bedrrom has a boot room, large lounge/dining area separate large fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar leading to a corridor to the bedroom block containing a double room with ensuite shower overlooking the Eden valley, a double room overlooking the platform and a king room with dual aspect. The one bedroom (the Yorkshireman) has a large bedroom with a double and single bed and ensuite shower room and a combined lounge/kitchen area overlooking the platform. Each lounge has a large smart TV and the whole building is well covered with high speed internet. There is a dedicated 18kw solar farm on the land next to the station feeding into a battery storage system in the plant room so you can be assured that your carbon footprint is very respectable during your stay! Each of the units has a Firefox log burner installed and a good supply of logs are provided for your comfort.
If you bring young children please ensure they are monitored when outside at all times as the station platform access is just outside the building There is also a shared access road to the adjacent factory and vehicles can pass the building quite fast. All windows are double glazed inside as well as the original single glazed sash windows so noise from trains and traffic is hardly noticeable due to the triple glazed system We provide an option to buy non refundable damage protection for the stay or alternatively pay a refundable £1 deposit which secures a hold on gusts credit card to cover any potential damages which is then released when the property is checked on change over.

Great building for a holiday
We had an excellent stay here. The facilities are great.
Only issues are relatively small room relative to the bed in one of the three rooms and a road on the doorstep that has fast vehicles.

A comfortable and quirky place to stay.
We really enjoyed our stay at Scotsman and loved the character and original features. It was warm and cosy, especially with the wood burner. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed to cater for our stay. The beds were very comfortable too. It was very handy to have an EV charger on site.
