The Station House is in Upper Poppleton. It's a semi-detached cottage, the old station house right by the manned level crossing. So yes, you'll hear trains on the York to Harrogate line. They're not constant, but you'll know they're there.
It sleeps six. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one is ensuite. It has a 5 Star rating, which means it's well-finished and comfortable. The staircase is the original one, it's quite grand and sweeping. It's steep, like an old house staircase tends to be.
There's a small enclosed courtyard out the back with a table and chairs. Parking is at the front for one car. You can park on the road as well if you need to.
The village shop and a couple of pubs are a few minutes' walk away. They're good. One of the pubs does food. If you want the Park and Ride into York, it's literally a one minute drive. The local bus stop is down the road too. The train from the station next door gets you into York in about five minutes.
York is three miles away. Obviously that's the main draw. You've got the Minster, the Shambles, the walls to walk around. For days out, you've got Beningbrough Hall and Nunnington Hall nearby. Harrogate is about a half hour drive. The coast at Whitby or Scarborough is about an hour.
Inside, it's got a woodburning stove, a dishwasher, a washing machine. All the bedding and towels are included. There's a cot and a highchair if you need them. No pets, sorry.
