About this property
Your unique front-row view of North Yorkshire Moors steam trains. Coast 20 Mins
Located in Newbridge, Pickering. This former railway workers cottage will appeal to steam railway enthusiasts, walkers and families alike. Located in a quiet hamlet, surrounded by fields & footpaths at the gateway to the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, but within easy walking distance of Pickering, with its supermarkets, traditional pubs and wide choice of restaurants. The cottage gives an exclusive front-row seat of the majestic steam locomotives of the NYMR heritage railway, which proceed at "snail's pace" past the cottage and provide great entertainment for children, young & old! Please note, this is a private line, the patio is fully fenced & gated, and steam trains run extremely slowly from approx. 9am to 5pm, during tourist season. The cottage is double-glazed, gas central heating & constant hot water, fully equipped kitchen & lounge/diner with satellite TV, open fire & additional sofa-bed. 2 bedrooms (1 double/twin & 1 with adult bunks). Parking for 2 vehicles & private patio with BBQ. No pets.

About the host
Your host
We are a family of four, living in the beautiful South West of Ireland, but originally from England. Our extended families mostly live in the North of England and manage the cottage for us. We enjoy outdoor activities such as walking, cycling and the beach. A holiday is an important time for families, and we aim to provide an experience that exceeds expectations! We are proud that we get a large number of repeat visits to the cottage through many 'word-of-mouth' recommendations.
Why they chose this property
We visit the UK a few times a year and were looking for a base that we could also rent out as a holiday cottage. Railway cottage met all our criteria. It is in a peaceful hamlet within the national park & is close to the beach & many tourist attractions. We believe that we have the best of both worlds in that there is an easy walk into Pickering, which is a picturesque, small market town, with atmospheric pubs and restaurants, but being in a peaceful area, surrounded by fields, quiet lanes and woodland walks. There is great wildlife around, and we often get visited by a woodpecker & other wild birds! The cottage has been converted and modernised in 2009 and is extremely well equipped. From the moment you arrive you will feel like you are on holiday - you cannot help but relax!
What makes this property unique
Railway cottage is ideal for families, and will be a memorable holiday. It offers a rare experience to watch steam trains, on the most popular steam railway in the UK, from the comfort of the living room and bedroom as they pass slowly past the cottage. Have a look at the video on our website! Most visitors have said that they end up shouting 'train' every day, rushing to the window to wave to the passengers to see which of the magnificent steam trains is passing! The cottage is very cosy, comfortable and warm. You will be well looked after, and we have been told that we offer great value! Since first renting out the property in March 2009, we have been booked almost every week, mostly to families and train enthusiasts, and we hope you decide to visit!
