Founded in 1985 by an ex-railwayman with a passion and enthusiasm for all things connected with railways, The Sidings is built around 5 Pullman style railway carriages. These have been develped to create the ultimate railway experience. Part of the carriages have been converted in to a dining area, allowing tables of four to overlook the track. Other carriages at this unique venue have been converted in rooms, allowing guest to stay and enjoy The Sidings overnight.
This unique hotel gives you the pleasure of experiencing not only the wonders of early 20th century train travel but also today’s train action on Yorkshire’s East Coast Main Line. The Sidings Mediterranean Bar and Restaurant directly overlooks one of the fastest and most impressive stretches of track in the land: the York to Thirsk run. In this quiet location, train enthusiasts are given the opportunity to thrive in a haven built from a collection of genuine train artefacts and memorabilia.
