Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The red train is a unique and beautiful place to stay, the train carriage overlooking the views were stunning, it was exactly the peaceful break we needed. Bernadette was lovely to deal with and was great at communicating everything. Would highly recommend staying here for a nice quiet getaway.
