Good to Know Whilst the space is charming and cosy, taller guests should be aware that headroom is limited in parts of the carriage due to its original structure. This is a glamping experience – expect peaceful surroundings, curious donkeys, and countryside charm. Please do not feed the animals. A separate donkey experience can be arranged on request. Your four-legged friend is welcome, but we ask that you clean up after them and keep them under control, especially around livestock.

The Railway View carriage was just delightful!
It is small but perfectly set up. Not much storage for clothing but we managed. Perhaps a few more hooks to hang things would be useful.
I especially appreciated the tea and coffee necessities after our long drive.
We didn't want to leave!!

Lovely Last Minute Break
We really enjoyed our stay at Railway View, The owners have done a tremendous job of maximising the space available, with all needs catered for. The GWR features - coat hooks, toilet roll holder - are a nice touch. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
First time Glampers & were not disappointed, charming & high quality finish converted railway carriage / shepherds hut. About 30mns walk into Cirencester but on verge and path all way so safe.
