The Station Flat

About this property

This quirky holiday apartment is situated above the ticket office at Benny Halt alongside the Lappa Valley Steam Railway, just outside the village of St Newlyn East, near Newquay in Cornwall. Tucked away in the beautiful conservation area of the Lappa Valley, this St Newlyn East self-catering apartment is ideal for those who are looking for something a little different. This first floor apartment in St Newlyn East is right beside a 15" miniature gauge railway track, so families will love to listen to the small trains which start to steam up at 8am throughout the season. This unusually positioned St Newlyn East self-catering apartment has an open plan living area that looks out over the narrow track running through the quiet countryside and there are two comfortable bedrooms: a double and a twin. Guests to this Cornwall apartment can benefit from complimentary use of all of the facilities on-site (during normal opening hours from end of March to end of October) and can enjoy hopping on and off three different trains, enjoy a canoe ride on the lake, playing miniature golf or taking a gentle stroll along the nature trails and watching for the abundant wildlife. Newquay, with more than ten beaches, is a water lover's paradise and a popular holiday resort with surfers, plus there is plenty to do when the sun goes in, including the aquarium, the zoo and plenty of shops and cafes to sample. A stay at this unique St Newlyn East holiday apartment is perfect for families who want to discover Cornwall and enjoy all that this wonderful area has to offer.

Set amidst open fields and winding hedgerows, the North Cornwall village of St Newlyn East offers a peaceful and relaxing alternative to the bustling, vibrant town of Newquay - situated under five miles away. The perfect starting point for a number of walks through picturesque countryside, this lovely town is centrally located for a variety of excellent attractions including many stately homes and gardens, model railways, theme parks, fishing villages and harbours - not to mention some of the UK's best surfing beaches. For a livelier nightlife, visitors will enjoy the various clubs and pubs in nearby Newquay, though also of interest in the town are the impressive Zoo and Sea Life Centre. Also within easy driving distance is the cathedral city of Truro and the magnificent Eden Project.
