We stayed at Station House in July to be near family who live locally. The house is really lovely and comfortable and very spacious, and we briefly met the owners who were very nice and helpful. A great location for getting out and about in Yorkshire. Easy for trips to York, Fountains Abbey, Whitby, Filey, Beningborough Hall, Nunnington Hall, Goathland, Harrogate, etc. The only downside to this property is that the trains run from about 6.45am until 11pm each day, with the gates, announcements and trains sounding quite loud inside the house. This is obviously to be expected given the location of the house, but it did wake our children up frequently. Beautifully decorated and furnished throughout, a lot of thought has gone into this lovely house and the owners should be proud of it.
