Accommodation:

This English Quality in Tourism Four Star Rated self catering property is situated on an operational rural Railway Station alongside the Old Station House in the historic Wolds village of Hunmanby, near Filey, North Yorkshire.

The Old Waiting Rooms has many original features and has been tastefully restored to provide unique holiday accommodation comfortably sleeping two people for short
breaks or full weeks. The 19th century building dates back to the opening of the railway line in 1856, and is built from Hunmanby bricks; the old clay pit is now a haven for freshwater anglers just two minutes walk away. Also close by are shops, pubs and restaurants and a nine hole pay and play golf course and gym.

The Old Waiting Rooms are just 1.5 miles from Yorkshire's Heritage Coast and only 30 minutes away from the North Yorkshire Moors, all these beautiful attractions can be easily accessed by car or public transport. Trains run regularly between the hours of 7.15am and 8.15pm from Hunmanby Station on the Wolds Coast Line between Scarborough and Hull and with trains direct from the Station to Filey, Scarborough, Bridlington, Beverley, Cottingham, Hull and others, and with one change at Scarborough to Whitby and York, the Old Waiting Rooms offers the chance to explore North Yorkshire's Coast and Moors entirely by train.
