The “Derwent Mail”

 

Access via the platform is through the original double doors to the open-plan lounge and kitchen / diner with beautiful views across fields. Though slightly smaller overall than the Derwent Flyer, the arrangement is more social - allowing whoever is in the kitchen to converse with those relaxing or watching the digital TV/DVD in the lounge.  

 

The original parcel shelves have been restored and are available for luggage storage.

 

Sleeping accommodation comprises a master double bedroom, plus small bedroom with built-in bunk units. The shower-room (wet room) and toilet is situated adjacent to the bedrooms.

Skipwith Station, once on the Derwent Valley Light Railway

 

(the “Blackberry Line”), lies in the heart of rural Yorkshire.

 

David, Lizanne and family offer two elegant, stylish self-catering apartments in two refitted railway carriages in the grounds of the original station.

 

A short drive to the South of York, the carriages are next to Skipwith Common - a designated Special Area of Conservation - comprising 300 hectares of unspoiled heathland; one of the few remaining such areas in the UK.

 

Surrounded by Yorkshire countryside, our holiday lets are in a perfect place to enjoy rambling, horse riding (we have DIY livery available - why not bring your horse on holiday?), bird watching and other country pursuits, while being centrally placed for many attractions and sights.
