Kirkby Stephen is the only working station building
on the line were you can stay for a self-catering break.
It couldn’t be easier to arrive by train - the front door
is on the platform as you get off the train! With 7 trains
calling each way on weekdays and Saturday's it’s
well connected to the rest of the national rail network,
(there is a good bus service from Oxenholme). Or if you
come by car, the station is a 15 minute hop from junction
38 on the M6.
The market town of Kirkby Stephen is 1½ miles away, full of charm and character,
and boasting a good range of amenities. The area is rich in heritage and history, with everything from prehistoric stone circles to romantic castles and restoration projects
such as the Stainmore Railway. The Upper Eden area in which Kirkby Stephen station
sits is an unspoilt, uncrowded gem, and so easy to get to.
