The space This listing is for a converted railway station house (built in 1863) which also has a train carriage converted into a camping coach. It has been renovated and recently refurbished for a comfortable and memorable stay for all the family (the house/ camping coach can also be booked separately: see my other links). The house was the original Cromdale train station which has been renovated into a 3 bedroom house. The line was closed to passengers in 1965 (distillery line closed in 1968) and the track is now a popular walking route (The Speyside Way). The old ticket office is now the kitchen, the waiting room is the lounge, the station master's bedroom is the master bedroom, and the lamp room now contains a triple bunk which is most suitable for children (top bunks suitable for 6+). Please note, there is no option for a triple bunk on the airbnb system, therefore the listing shows a two bed bunk plus single. There is a newly refurbished ensuite bathroom and a separate shower room. The dining table in the house seats max 8 and the living room comfortably seats 5. We also have an art studio and a summer house (or 'sitooterie') in the garden which contains a table football and garden sports/ games items. There is also a bbq which is stored next to the store room (must be moved away from buildings and trees before use). The camping coach contains two bedrooms (one bunk and one double) and a newly refurbished shower room. Through a separate entrance is the 'guard's van' which is now a living/ kitchen area containing a dining table, seating, hob, kettle. toaster, microwave, TV, a selection of board games and books, and a gas heater. There are also electric radiators in all the rooms. At the back of the coach is an enclosed garden containing a picnic table, small trampoline and rowing machine. There is also a table tennis table under the car port. If you would like any further information about the accommodation please enquire. Guest access If you book the house and carriage together, you can use both gardens as well as the platform area, the art studio and summer house. Other things to note Please contact us for a discount if you would like to stay for 2 weeks or longer. Please note the bunk bed in the house is a triple bunk rather than a bunk and a single (airbnb has no option for a triple bunk so had to choose this to show 3 beds in the one room). The top bunk in the house is very high. It is advised that children aged under 6 should only use the lower bunk. Adults may prefer the bottom bunk which has a mattress topper. Please note the bunks are not suitable for people weighing 18 stone or more, according to the manufacturer's instructions. We do not consider the accommodation suitable for those with mobility issues. Be aware that there is a drop to the platform to path below.
