The self-catering accommodation can easily provide for up to four persons comprising of one double bedroom with en-suite; a separate shower room with WC; a large 'dream' kitchen and a very spacious lounge with a comfortable sofa bed for two.
Because the area is a delight to visit all year round, a lot of attention has been paid to make sure you’ll be comfortable whenever you come to stay.

Perfect Break
Lovely welcome from Anne & Edmund. Delightful couple who are happy to chat, or leave you be. Welcome pack on arrival which was good. All the facilities are good quality. The setting is brilliant if all you want to do is relax, use of the grounds and the walk are a bonus, as well as waking up to the sound of a woodpecker on the bird feeders. Two trains an hour pass by, but this is not intrusive.

A relaxing and unique cottage .
As soon as you turn off into the lane off the A64 you realise this is going to be a fantastic unique setting for a relaxing break . The accommodation was exactly as described in the literature , spotlessly clean and great welcome. Excellent quality welcome pack of provisions. Occasional passing trains no bother at all , indeed it was one of the attractions and nothing at night . The provision of an EV charging point was a real bonus as it took away the stress of finding overpriced public chargers.
Couldn’t find anything to fault and wished we had booked for longer .

Superb Weekend
On arrival we were greeted by Anne and Edmund ( and Luna ) found them to be warm and friendly. Shown to and around our accommodation and a nice touch was the welcome pack. The accommodation was in an excellent condition, well preserved and maintained, well laid out with everything you need for a short or long stay.
We stayed for the Bank Holiday weekend in August with our puppy Honey.
The Property is well situated for visiting the North Yorkshire Moors and the East Coast, or for just walking the woods surrounding the property.
Being an old Railway Station on a working line, ( York - Scarborough ) the trains running pass didn't bother us at all.
Overall we had a wonderful time, and would certainly return.
All credit to Anne and Edmund for maintaining such a beautiful Station in a beautiful location.

Heavenly North Yorkshire home
This cottage is a hidden gem in the real sense of the word, tucked at the end of a lane amongst woodland, yet only just off the main road to Malton. The Crown & Cushion pub is walkable but only a few mins to drive and was very welcoming with excellent food. This is the perfect place to base yourself to busy every attraction in North Yorkshire and there are too many to do in one visit. The area is full of history, grand houses, magnificent vistas and friendly people - just like the owners of Platform One, Anne & Edmund with their wonderful lurcher Luna really make you feel at home here and no detail is left out. The kitchen is marvellous and the lounge/diner is spacious and comfortable too - the water pressure here is amazing so a hot power shower really sets you up for the day. Birds feed right outside your window and the surrounding, partly wild, gardens are an added bonus. It was our second visit and I’m sure we will return.

Sunny days in an idyllic setting.
The accommodation was lovely, in an idyllic countryside setting, awakening each morning to beautiful birdsong. Anne and Edmund made us so welcome. Our saluki, Tilly, had a great run around with their lurcher Luna.
Malton, Whitby and Eden Camp were nearby and easy to drive to.
A lovely, peaceful getaway.

Lovely pet friendly apartment in delightful and unusual setting
Humans and dogs are made to feel equally welcome at this lovely apartment in the unusual setting of Platform 1 Castle Howard. The accommodation was very comfortable and the owners welcoming and helpful. Plenty of good walking places and easy access to places of interest. We'll definitely go back again!

First Class all round
We arrived on a dismal December afternoon for a short break and were welcomed by Anne who had thoughtfully pre-set the heating. Underfloor heating, wonderful. The welcome basket included all local produce and the chocolate 'goodies' were perfect with a cup of tea in front of the log burner. Next day we headed to Malton 'Yorkshire's Food Capital' and then on to Castle Howard to walk around the grounds. Walking directly from the property, the Centenary Way going south took us on a leisurely walk to Kirkham Abbey and heading north through the woods to the village of Crambeck. We had a wonderful couple of days. Platform 1 is in a wonderful location, easy enough to drive further afield, yet perfect for just relaxing. The accommodation is very well-equipped, spotlesslessly clean and very comfortable. I wholeheartedly recommend Platform 1 for a short (or long) break and look forward to returning.

Fabulous BH weekend at Platform 1 Castle Howard Station
What an absolute find this Cottage was. Great location for this fabulous period property. So much History. Host Edmund & Ann (and dog Luna) are very welcoming & extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Property was lovely and clean, very well presented and great original features. walks from the doorstep and the Crown pub is a lovely 30 minute walk away. We really loved walking round the wild garden & pond and picking fruit of the trees. And we even got sunshine!! Thank you.

Platform One - what a location!
What a wonderful stay we had with Edmund and Ann at Platform One. It was idyllic, very well equipped and you couldn't ask for a better welcome from the hosts. The welcome basket was full of lovely food and if you are a twitcher watching the wildlife outside the windows is a joy. If you have dogs there are some lovely local walks and they will love Luna the very friendly inhabitant of Platform One.
Booking is highly recommended as you won't be disappointed.

Excellent all round
I’ll start by saying that whilst it’s very dog friendly it was spotless on arrival without a hint that a dog had ever been present.
The accommodation is very comfortable with all the amenities you could want. The beautiful outside space drinking tea and watching the wildlife is so relaxing, a true sun tap or windbreak depending what the weather requires.
Ann and Edmund, the hosts, great you like friends and are so nice but never intrusive. They are there if wanted for anything and really can’t do enough but at the same time are quiet and invisible if you want peace.
With a fully secure garden and excellent local walks this is the perfect place for dogs too. There are dog bowls and beds available and even a few treats.
As for location, it is such a peaceful place at the end of its own road where you can relax and watch the wildlife with a couple of trains an hour passing your window. But it’s so close to so many places to visit if you do want to get the car out with York half an hour away and the coast hardly further. And if you don’t want to drive there’s a regular bus that runs between Leeds and Whitby/Scarborough that stops at the top of the road.
I truly can’t find a negative, I’ll definitely be booking again and can’t praise it enough
