Property code: OC-95918

This characterful holiday home is set in the quaint Northumberland village of Christon Bank. Sleeping six guests and one furry companion, the property is ideal for large families and groups of friends. The former railway station has a choice of social spaces and a large, open-plan kitchen/diner.

The former railway station has been transformed into a welcoming holiday home with comfortable furniture, contemporary decor, and homely touches throughout. There are still little nods to the building's 1800s heyday, such as the large railway signage that greets you on arrival. Leave muddy boots and dog leads in the porch, before moving through to the spacious lounge. Here, you'll find an array of sofas and armchairs and a Smart TV for catching up on all your favourite programmes. Just off the lounge is a long conservatory - originally the station platform - where you can sit with a morning coffee and your holiday read. This is also a good spot for the hound to hang out, away from the hustle and bustle of the main house. The social hub of the house is a large kitchen and dining area, where you can prepare delicious feasts for the group to share at the chic dining table. A utility room and shower room complete the ground floor. Upstairs, three tastefully decorated bedrooms await, one of which has an en-suite shower room. You'll also find a family bathroom on this level. The property has private parking for two cars.

Christon Bank is a charming village with a friendly pub and a village shop. You'll find further amenities in nearby Embleton (1.5 miles) or the bustling market town of Alnwick (8 miles). There are some truly spectacular beaches along this stretch of the Northumberland coast, many of which welcome four-pawed visitors all year. Highlights include Alnmouth Bay and Beadnell Bay, both within 10 miles.

We had a wonderful holiday at Christon Station House! The accommodation was clean, comfortable, spacious and well appointed. We loved all the train signs etc. Our favourite spot was in the 'sunroom'! The trains were a real novelty, even until our last day! We explored both north and south, a really good central location. There were so many highliRead moreghts - Lindisfarne, the beautiful beaches, walking to Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberlandia land form, Alnwick Gardens as well as lots of bird watching, and a spot of shopping in Morpeth (and Hexham on our way home). I would highly recommned staying here, thank you! Hide

The cottage is outstanding. I have been doing self catering now for almost 50 years and this was in the top 5 regarding comfort, cleanliness, equipment provided and value. It is in an ideal situation for exploring all the attractions that Northumberland has to offer. Do not let the fact that it is on the East Coast Main Line put you off. Trains doRead more fly past often but the property is well glazed and you hardly notice and after the first day get used to them. There are fewer at night and I was never woken up by one. Hide

The house was very well appointed. It's rare to book somewhere for a larger party and actually have everything you need: dishes, cutlery, glasses etc. The big fridge freezer and large range cooker was brilliant. Self catering & somewhere a bit more remote you need these. Adequate comfortable seating in living room. Three full bathrooms: brilliant. Read moreComfortable beds. Loved seeing the trains go by & the noise wasn't intrusive. Good location for exploring the area. Hide

Lovely house in immaculate condition and very well equipped. Comfy beds and effective heating. Lovely railway themed touches & tracking the trains going past can become addictive.

If you don't mind being adjacent to a busy main railway line this accommodation is fantastic. We didn't worry about the passing trains and with the double glazed windows closed it wasn't a problem. As for the accommodation itself it was wonderful. The owner has thought of everything you need for a fantastic stay. Cannot think of one negative. :

A well presented house, central to some fantastic attractions. A few too many trains for our liking and no garden for children.
