The Ticket Office, Allerston, Pickering, North Yorkshire


The Old Station offers three unique self catering railway carriages in the village of Allerston, near the historic market town of Pickering in North Yorkshire. Set on the edge of the North York Moors, the carriages provide a cosy and unusual place to stay, with excellent opportunities for walking and cycling in the surrounding countryside.

Accommodation

Originally built in 1968, the three railway carriages have been thoughtfully converted to provide exceptionally well-equipped holiday accommodation.

Each carriage includes central heating, an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, TV, DVD player, radio, and a bathroom with a bath, shower attachment, WC, and wash basin. The carriages are positioned in train formation, although they are not inter-connected.

Carriage One and Carriage Two each offer three bedrooms. Carriage One comprises one double bedroom, one twin room with two single beds, and a twin room with one single bed and a head-height bunk. Carriage Two includes one double bedroom and two twin rooms, each with a single bed and a head-height bunk. Carriage Three features two double bedrooms, both with an additional head-height bunk.

Set within two acres of grounds, the carriages offer plenty of outdoor space for children to play. Each carriage has its own picnic table, BBQ, and a selection of toys, games, and bikes for guests to enjoy.

Visiting Allerston & Exploring North Yorkshire

There is a wide variety of activities to enjoy in the local area. Ryedale is known for its excellent cycling routes, suitable for all ages and abilities, from gentle rides across the Vale of Pickering to more challenging mountain biking trails in Dalby Forest, which is considered one of the best mountain biking locations in the country. Guests can also enjoy fishing, walking, and golf nearby.

The attractive market town of Pickering is located close by and is home to the North York Moors Railway. It offers a range of shops, pubs, and restaurants. The North York Moors National Park is also easily accessible, providing beautiful landscapes, woodland walks, and stunning views, along with numerous nearby towns, villages, and historic houses to explore.

Rates range from £594 to £998 per week depending on the season. The accommodation sleeps up to six guests, with children welcome. Pets are not permitted. Off-street parking is available.
