Unique Signal Box Style House next to a Train Line in the Cairngorms
What better place to stay in the Cairngorms for an avid train enthusiast than in a Signal Box? Built in the style of a Signal Box but actually a stylishly presented holiday home, this quirky and unusual holiday cottage is located next to the station in the village of Newtonmore. Considering its uniqueness and the stunning views out to the Cairngorms Mountains and the River Spey it should be no surprise this fantastic property was featured in the Times list of Best cottages in 2013.
Stay in a Former Station Master's House in Ceredigion, Wales
This quirky cottage was originally the Station Master's House for the Strata Florida Railway Station. Trains no longer travel past this disused station but plenty of the character of this former Station Master's house remains along with stunning views over the Cambrian Mountains and the Cors Caron Nature Reserve. Nowadays rather than train-spotting, holidaymakers can enjoy cycling along the Ystwyth Trail cycle route which follows along the old railway line.
