2/10 Poor

We stayed here for 30 minutes and that was too long but we were trying to find other accommodation or face the journey home. No way could we stay in this tiny, dirty room,it was disgusting
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Staff were superb , nothing too much trouble . Food was very tasty and cooked to order . Bed was very comfortable. Would recommend the larger cabin as space inside the Seagull was limited . All in all , a very different stay especially if you want to get away from the hotel chain venues

Great train accommodation and fab Greek food.

Very quirky accommodation, super friendly staff. Excellent food. If you get to eat in the buffet car it feels like the orient express. If I am ever in York again I would certainly stay here.Remember you are next to a working railway. Good for those with limited mobility as on the mostly flat, but unlikely to get a wheelchair down the aisle of the accommodation so I would suggest calling before booking as they may have more accessible than we had.

My wife and I stayed the night with our 2 children 4 and 7. The room was plenty big enough for us and the staff were friendly and helpful. The children loved the novelty of sleeping on a train and watching them go past as we enjoyed our very nice cooked breakfast. Thanks to all the staff who made us feel very welcome.

We love everything about the sidings. We wish we could come every week. Only difference is, last time we came the meal was in the price of the room and breakfast, this time we paid seperate and extra. Also the breakfast was far less superia than last time, slightly disappointed with breakfast but everything else 100%

8/10 Very good

Setting was close to unique (I think there's only a couple like it in the whole country). Staff went out of their way to be helpful and even changed our room at very short notice to accommodate my being on crutches. About the only thing that wasn't first class was the shower - they simply can't get enough hot water.

Great for something different.

The stay was good as we had a meal booked at the siding. The room had everything you would need for the stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The stay was different because of the train carriage.

2/10 Poor

Mold Issue

Opening the door to the car hit with mold smell. Particularly in my room, to discover where and why. Severe mold, needs top to bottom cleansing.
Shower. No idea what the yellow stuff was, and didn't shower to find out.
Covered in mold, this is the window next to the bed.
In the curtains as well, next to the bed.
More of a closeup, next to the bed.

Overall it was nice the bedrooms could with with a bit of an update and better facilities eg: there was know where to hang clothes and know where to do hair and makeup. The pillows were also uncomfortable, but the bar and eating areas were much more pleasant

Room with a view

Place is fab especially on Greek night. Only down side was mould on curtains but windows get condensation on which transfers.
