    This property is an old train station building. It was kitted out beautifully and had everything one would need. It was very comfortable and the only downside was that the artisan bakery and coffee shop next door was not open on the Sunday so we...

    Unique quirky location, nice standard of fittings, host was excellent at coordinating heating and easily contactable. Host also went the extra mile to post me an item I had left behind. 10/10 service.

    Beautifully restored and decorated with lovely little touches from its former life as a railway station. Close to the village for a walk into the shops for dinner. My son loved the novelty of running to watch the trains go past. Anne, the host,...

The Railway Sleeper is located in the unique setting of Cullybackey Railway Station. It has been approved by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board. The Railway Station was first opened in 1856 and is a listed, historic building. As it is an operational railway station, please expect to hear the train regularly during your stay. The Ticket Bakehouse coffee shop is located beside the accommodation, which is very convenient for breakfast or lunch Tuesday - Saturday 7am - 3pm.
I am a teacher and my husband is a Central Heating Engineer. We are parents to three young children.
The Railway Sleeper is just a short walk from the village of Cullybackey. 3mins drive to Galgorm Resort & Spa. There is parking available in Translink's public car park opposite Cullybackey Railway Station. The train leaves for Belfast at 10 to the hour and leaves for Derry/Londonderry at 10 past the hour. Bus stop located at the bottom of the street in Cullybackey. Taxi service available.
