The station house was everything we were hoping for but when we arrived it was even better than we imagined. Truly stunning!

Convenient, cosy well equipped house. Aga and log burner just right for the weather we had.
Mr Geraghty, Keighley, November 2012
The accommodation was fantastic. So much space! The Aga was an added bonus, all of us said we would go back with family. Whitby is only a 30 minute walk too.
