Stay at Kirkby Stephen Railway Station

Kirkby Stephen
How would you like to enjoy your breakfast and watch trains go by just a few feet away from the window, or enjoy the sunrise over the fells?

Well now you can, at the carefully restored station at Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria on the world famous Settle & Carlisle line.  Built in 1875, the station was brought back to its former glory in 2005 by the Settle and Carlisle Railway Trust.  Kirkby Stephen is a working mainline station with a regular year round passenger service.  

The station offers two self-catering holiday lets.  

Booking Office Cottage forms part of the station at the south end and includes a living room which was originally the stationmaster’s office.  It sleeps up to 4 people.  The living room boasts giant picture windows on both sides.  On the platform side you can watch steam-hauled excursion trains or diesel-hauled 2,000-tonne coal trains blasting uphill to Ais Gill summit, or look the other way to see glorious views of the fells and Nine Standards Rigg.

Platform Cottage.  Platform Cottage is at the north end and sleeps up to six people.  It includes a garden area adjacent to the platform for the exclusive use of Platform Cottage guests, with fabulous views of both the trains and the fells.  

Booking Office Cottage and Platform Cottage offer comfortable and affordable self-catering accommodation.  They are both available all year round, for full weeks, long weekends and mid-week breaks.
