Train holiday rentals in British Isles

Second time we have stayed here and will definitely be returning. We have used it as a meeting point with family and it's great for the kids to have a communal area for them. Everywhere still looks brand new and kept very clean.

We had a fantastic bank holiday weekend staying in Michael’s beautiful and immaculately kept converted Victorian Railway carriage. The carriage is beautiful and very quirky both inside and out. It was very easy to find and recognise from Michael’s directions and pictures. It is set on the side of a quiet village road with a very large field/old orchard at the back, which our 2 dogs absolutely loved. There are also many long walks around the local area on your doorstep. The carriage is in a perfect location for easy access to the surrounding areas of Wisbech, Kings Lynn, Sandringham Palace(must see) and the many beaches around The Wash. Michael is a lovely gentleman and a great host, who popped by to say hello and have a quick chat. Making sure everything was ok and answer any questions we may have had. I highly recommend a stay in Michael’s railway carriage, as it’s a hidden gem and a great place to unwind!

Very lovely place to stay that’s a bit out of the ordinary and a very good price!

It was simply amazing and such a privilege to stay in a converted Victorian carriage. It’s all very laid back and friendly and you are not interferes with in anyway but the hosts are easy to find if you need them. A must for a train lover. The carriage was clean and though fully furnished with the added luxury of fresh flowers and a welcome pack. We will definitely be recommending

The Railway Carriage is unique. It's so cozy and lovingly decorated, it really makes you feel welcome! The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. There is a huge outside area and parking right in front of the accommodation. A lot of interesting sights can be reached within short driving distance. Sam provided excellent information and was very helpful. Thank you for an utterly relaxing time!

We've had a lovely week in the train carriage. Long walks and days on the beaches, cream teas and great meals out. My teenage children even forgot about TV and Wifi and enjoyed lots of chess and board games, and star gazing after days out! If you want to switch off and have a relaxing week in a beautiful part of the Isle of Wight, this is the perfect stay. It's a little shabby chic, but full of charm and has everything you'll need - very cosy and lots of space for dogs to sniff and run around.

What a magical stay! This place completely stole our hearts — even more beautiful than the photos (seriously!). So peaceful, green, and full of nature all around. The wagon was super cozy, with everything we could possibly need. The big comfy bed under the glass roof, the crackling fire, and those stunning views from the huge window — just perfect. We loved spending time on the terrace too. When we arrived, there was fresh bread waiting for us and the fire was already going — such a lovely touch! Graham was amazing too, super kind and made sure we were all set with everything we needed (especially firewood). We honestly didn’t want to leave… but we’ll 100% be back, because this place is way too special for just one visit!

Awesome railway carriage. Nick and his family where very friendly and welcoming. Tommy the horse and the the numerous dogs were also lovely. Local village very walkable, we visited the Morris dancer pub, which was very good, also the busy brewery next door! We loved it, loads of space, peaceful and we're looking for an excuse currently so we can return!!

Perfect location. Just and no more outside Norwich in a marvellous country setting. On site shop, cracking walkable pubs/restaurants for food. We stayed not the Norwich triathlon which was a 2 minute walk away.

Loved our visit, the views are incredible, the Hut is very cosy and well stocked ( loved the Welsh cakes and hot chocolate) thank you ! The wood burner is a great touch and easy to use The bed is very comfy Great base for some fab walks in the local area. We did not use the hot tub but it's looks lush We would highly recommend .

Everything was spectacular, Lovely stay and extremely accomodating host! Will definitely be booking this again.

Our one night stay at Verity's train carriage was beyond perfect! The interior style was so cosy and homely with a wood burner and outdoor fire pit that we lit in the evening. There are some lovely private woods and stream next to the carriage and a pub and village shop within walking distance. It was the best Airbnb we have stayed in, would love to have stayed longer!

The place was spotless—honestly even better than the photos. The host was helpful and welcoming, and the amenities covered everything you'd want for a glamping stay. Waking up to such a beautiful view felt like something out of a fairy tale. One lovely touch that I don’t think was listed in the description is the sauna, absolutely perfect after a long day of hiking! The location was also ideal, easy to access and close to charming villages and towns nearby. Highly recommended!

The unique train carriage was a fabulous experience, it was situated in a beautiful place. Weather was terrible but that didn't stop us enjoying our surroundings. Next to the carriage was a pub that served breakfast, the food was amazing and convenient for the family, it's dog friendly too! The carriage does need a little tlc, but we found it pleasant and cosy. Would definitely stay here again. The host was very accommodating to our requirements. Big thank you Steve.

What a beautiful little gem here ! We loved the quirkiness of the train carriage which was refitted perfectly with everything we needed for a 2night stay. Katherine even greeted us at arrival. The surroundings are very peaceful and pretty, whether for a steep walk down to Pateley Bridge, a drive out to Scar House Reservoir, or to rest and recharge in the private hot tub. Our 2 small lapdogs felt at home too whether investigating the private enclosed garden, or sleeping in the sunshine through the French doors. We will return Katherine …many thanks, take care & wishing you all the best

A lovely stay, 2 adults, 2 children. The children loved the charm of the train carriage. All very easy, clean and well-maintained

Stayed here for my Mum's 70th birthday and it was superb. Beautifully laid out and decorated, it felt quirky and cosy. The rooms were well proportioned and beds were comfy - Shepherds hut was also a hit. Stunning views of the beach, and the decking gets the sun all day. BBQ was a great addition also. We will be back!

Truly enjoyable few days at Wannies Retreat. A picturesque location and unique accommodation. A perfect place to unwind and take it easy. We loved seeing all the sheep and lambs in the fields as we enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. Annabel was a fantastic host, quick to respond to questions, left out lovely welcome gifts for my children and offerered local knowledge. You can tell she really cares and wants you to have a great holiday. We will absolutely return at some point. Aswell as being able to spend time unwinding in and around the carriage, there was so many walks and day trip opportunities near by. Thanks so much for a magical few days .

My weekend stay at the Old Goods Wagon was brilliant. The space is beautiful, with an incredibly level of detail and small touches. The bed was incredibly cosy with the bed lights, and I had everything that I needed for my stay! A high point for me was the beautiful gardens and surroundings, which made my stay incredibly relaxing and peaceful. I’d recommend the Old Goods Wagon to anyone looking for a Yorkshire stay away, and I’d definitely stay again!

Stayed for a few days over the school holidays with a 3 & 7 year old. They absolutely loved the novelty of staying on a train and the Harry Potter theme. Laura is a great host. Carriage has everything you'd need for a peaceful stay in the beautiful Cairngorms. Lots of peaceful walks around the property and village with shops less than 10 minutes away. Excellent base to explore the Cairngorms and Moray. We had a great time and highly recommend.

Lovely place for a getaway! Very cosy and homely. The hot tub was perfect and very easy to manage. We also met Chokky the donkey as we were leaving :) Would definitely stay again.

We just had a wonderful, super relaxing stay to help celebrate my partner turning 40. The carriage was full of character, with everything you need and in a superb location. It was very peaceful and we enjoyed star gazing on an evening and looking out for wildlife. Would highly recommend a stay here and Rebecca is such a fabulous host. Thank you very much

Wonderful stay in an enchanting place. Stay here is you want a gorgeous, well appointed , unique, accommodation in a rural location. The host was really welcoming and came to meet us the first night to get to know us. We only wish we had a few more days there!
