Sir Nigel Gresley, Flamborough

Sir Nigel Gresley is a beautifully renovated second-floor apartment in the coastal village of Flamborough, East Yorkshire. Named after the record-breaking locomotive now housed at the York Railway Museum, the building itself was originally constructed as a train station - though the line was rerouted before it ever ran. Extensively renovated in 2021, it sits right in the village centre with views over the rooftops below.

Flamborough sits atop white clifftops on the Yorkshire coast. The headland is a 25-minute walk away where you can spot nesting puffins and gannets at the RSPB Bempton Cliffs reserve. Bridlington is just 3 miles down the road. Note: this property has no hot tub.

The apartment sleeps 4 guests across two bedrooms Bedroom 1 has a ¾ double (4ft) bed with Smart TV and Bedroom 2 has a double (4ft 6in) bed with Smart TV. Two bathrooms include an ensuite shower room and a main bathroom with both bath and cubicle shower.

Sewerby Hall and Gardens is 3 miles away. Burton Agnes Norman Manor House is 9 miles away. Scarborough with its 12th-century castle ruins is nearby. Whitby is further up the coast.
