Unfortunately we had a rainy week and couldn’t enjoy the outside space.

Unfortunately we had a rainy week and couldn’t enjoy the outside space. Kitchen had everything you need.Bed was comfortable but no windows to open in the main bedroom. Dogs enjoyed the outside space. Plenty to do in the area and we did get a glimpse of the beautiful night sky

Lovely place

The carriage is wonderful we are thinking of going back again. The host is really knowledgeable on the history of the railway. The carriage was very clean. The carriage is very well equipped. The shower was really good unlike a lot of places we have stayed where the shower is hot cold and no power. The shower in the carriage was great. The owners are on site if you need any assistance with anything. They go above and beyond with treats in the fridge to a vase of flowers on the side. Oh and the towels were a lovely quality. I would highly recommend anyone to stay there it is a unique experience.
