Platform 1 offers unique self catering accommodation within the former Castle Howard Station, nestled just outside of Welburn. Our apartment boasts a rich history whilst offering modern comforts, perfect for a special getaway in this beautiful part of North Yorkshire.

Our outstanding apartment, made from the old station’s public waiting room, offers everything you need for a memorable holiday. The apartment seamlessly blends traditional architectural features with a chic, modern style. The rooms are spacious, overlook the track and are set within 1.5 acres of well fenced formal and wild gardens.

The wonderful sitting room comes with large arched windows including original shutters, comfortable sofas and a Smart Samsung 43" TV with Sky digital Freeview. This is a delightful space to relax after a day sightseeing. Across the hall is a stylish kitchen which could easily be at home in the pages of a glossy lifestyle magazine. The room has everything you will need for cooking up a delicious home-cooked feast, including an electric cooking range, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher, granite worktops, cutlery, crockery, glassware and utensils. We even provide you with a welcome basket on arrival.
