The station was designed by Rawlins Gould and opened on the 28th March 1864, closing 100 years later, on 19th October 1964, following the Beeching cuts. The property has been tastefully restored and enjoys some sea views from both bedrooms, and the twin bedroom has a 24" Freeview TV and DVD player.
The sandy beaches are about 200 yards away, and there is a boat compound with launching facilities for boats, ribs and jetskis giving access to the sea. It is centrally located in the unspoilt seaside town of Hornsea, known as ’Lakeland by the Sea’, due to the presence in the town of Yorkshire’s largest natural freshwater lake, Hornsea Mere. Not only is the property close to the beach and promenade with its cafés and fish and chip shops, but it is also a short level stroll from the heritage town centre with its museum, shops, restaurants, cafés, bars and public parks, making it an ideal base for those wanting to relax and enjoy the area. Within just a few hundred yards of Station House you will find an indoor soft play facility and Hornsea’s main leisure centre, which offers an indoor heated swimming pool, gym, café and other facilities. Hornsea is also the finishing point for the Trans Pennine Way; from your doorstep you can cycle or walk through the town and out into open countryside on these wonderful, largely level, maintained leisure trails. Activities locally also include sailing and bird watching at Hornsea Mere, Hornsea Golf Course, Freeport shopping centre, Honeysuckle Farm and there is a boat compound with launching facilities. Further afield you’ll find The Deep (a huge aquarium) at Hull and, of course, Bridlington, Scarborough, York, Filey and Flamborough. Whatever the weather, and however you like to spend your holidays, either relaxing or being active, a stay at Station House in Hornsea will surely delight. Shop, pub and restaurant ¼ mile.

When I arrived at Station House, it was a bit chilly, but after ringing the owner, he sent someone to adjust the boiler straight away, and from that point on the accommodation was cosy and warm. The location was perfect for my visit, I was close to the sea and the museum where I was carrying out research for my dissertation. The property was in a peaceful location, although there was occasionally a bit of noise from the apartment above, but this didn't spoil my stay at all. The property was spotlessly clean, and well equipt. There was a very generous welcome basket which was much appreciated. The only thing that was missing was a blanket or throw, but this is only a minor detail, everything was just what I needed. Thank you.

Lovely old house let down by poor cheap bedding, shower that the water was really too hot with the control sized up.It could have been made really good with some quality bedding and a new showerSimply but very effective solutionWe enjoyed our stay, but would not rush back to the hose which is a real shame as the position and location make it a nice place to stay in that area
