This isn't just a small shepherds hut, this is a 50 square metre piece of history !
Dating back to the 1860s, Staward Station had trains puffing in and out for over 80 years, closing in 1950. The Waiting Room has had a lick or two of paint since then, and has been fitted out with a selection of essential mod cons, but apart from that it hasn't changed much - Over 50 square metres of comfort & style - this is no compact shepherds hut!
Tuck yourself up in the super king size bed, you'll be sleeping in the old ticket office, and the original ticket hatch is still in use. There's still the main entrance from the platform, leading into the sitting room, and if you go through the fully-equipped kitchen you'll find another door leading onto your private enclosed garden with fire pit and private entrance. Just off the kitchen is a luxurious bathroom where you can soak in the hip bath or have a refreshing shower. Double glazed, south-facing windows and a log burning stove make this the perfect cosy retreat and with a separate reading room area there is plenty of space for relaxing & bird watching .Although ancient we do have TV and Wifi but the wildlife & birdsong are far more interesting.
The old stone railway bridge is just at the end of the platform, and from the top you can see over the tree tops down into Staward gorge and across to Hadrian's Wall - perfect for planning your walking route through the surrounding countryside. Undiscovered & quiet but packed with a variety of things to do & places to visit. A good one to start with is the John Martin trail, a ten mile off-road walk that you can join just at the bottom of the garden. This part of Northumberland is a designated dark sky area, making it perfect for stargazing when the sun goes down.
