The bright and airy kitchen/diner provides everything needed for a self-catering break, while the charming sun lounge opens onto a private patio, perfect for unwinding with a morning coffee or evening drink. The property offers two well-appointed bedrooms, a double and a twin, along with a contemporary family bathroom featuring a large shower cubicle, toilet, and sink. A further enclosed lawned garden sits at the rear of the property.
Nestled in the heart of St Bees on the stunning Cumbrian Coast, this unique holiday home is ideally located at the start of the famous Coast to Coast Walk and within easy reach of the Lake District National Park. St Bees itself boasts a beautiful sandy beach, dramatic coastal walks, traditional pubs, and local shops. The village is also home to St Bees Priory, a historic Norman church with fascinating links to medieval history. Just five miles away, the Georgian town of Whitehaven offers a scenic harbour, museums, and a marina lined with cafés and restaurants. The Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway, a heritage narrow-gauge track, provides a nostalgic journey through the picturesque Eskdale Valley. Further afield, visitors can explore the rugged beauty of Wastwater, England’s deepest lake, or hike iconic peaks such as Scafell Pike. With the scenic Cumbrian Coast Line at your doorstep and an abundance of attractions nearby, Station House is the perfect escape for train lovers, families, and nature enthusiasts alike.

Great place to stay, 2 nice pubs in the village and an easy walk to the beach for an ice cream. Train station right on your door step. Ample space for 4 people to stay and the cottage was clean and warm. Would certainly recommend.

We liked the station house, but was surprised about the number of steps so not suitable for impair people.Cleanliness was good, though there were a few cobwebs around.When coming to clean before vacating the property, the vacuum didn't work. Which I reported to the Keswick office, who were very pleasant to speak to.The railway was not a problem to us though made the dog jump a bit once or twice.

Lovely place, somethings could do with updating - beds were comfy but needs a couple of new pillows. Everything you need in the kitchen, I must however say the microwave would never pass a PAT test, the inside is rusty and pitted, I think probably dangerous and didn't use I left it unplugged. Other than that the grass could do with mowing and some weed pulling would make the outside look more cared for.
