Western Europe : locations de vacances dans des trains

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!

Booked the carriage for my husbands 40th, he was like a child! He was engrossed in the little details, loved the fireplace, the windows and doors - everything! The living room is cosy, kitchen area perfect for our meals especially with the fire going.

Very fun and different kind of stay - and we happened to be there on the night of an open house next door at the old train station where the model train club meets. We saw the huge model train set-up in the back room. The caboose was clean and very comfortable. Great hosts, fast to respond.

What a fun place to stay! My brother and I stayed here for a weekend away together and it was a great place for a couple of nights. For anyone worrying that this may be too small, my brother and I are both well above six feet and had no problems standing up or with either bed. Private, fun, easy to get into and lovely and warm - a perfect base for exploring the North Yorkshire Moors

Cheryl's place was fantastic! The caboose was so cute and cozy. Beautiful surroundings and so peaceful. We enjoyed all the animals. The bison feeding was fun to watch, Cheryl's parents provided a lot of interesting facts about the bison. Looking forward to going back and taking the grandkids!

Nous voulions changer d'air et par chance le temps était de la partie. Lieu très insolite qui fait son effet dès notre arrivée à la gare. Accueil parfait, l'intérieur est très propre avec une décoration qui va dans le détail, sans trop en devoiller pour vous laisser la surprise. Sans aucun doute que nous reviendrons! Merci pour tout!

Such a beautiful little place! So cozy and the views are stunning. Watched the sunset over the valley. The fresh loaf on arrival is a lovely little touch too. We had a great stay and will definately be visiting again. The host was great and very responsive. Had the fire going ready for when we arrived. Close to many of the towns and Brecon Beacons. Perfect little spot to escape! 😍

We stayed with our two dogs at Donnie's caboose over Thanksgiving while visiting family in the area. The location was great and super close to our family. It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!

This was a unique stay in a quiet and peaceful setting. There's plenty to do and see in the outskirts. A great experience!

My husband and I, and our dog Izzy had a wonderful weekend staying in the Chessie! the space was clean and thoughtfully arranged and had everything we needed for a cozy weekend away! Would definitely recommend and stay again!!!

We loved our stay in Wagon Lea. Everything was perfect for what we wanted . Ruth was very welcoming and made us aware that she was there if we needed anything. The place was extremely secure and dog friendly and our dogs loved watching the sheep and goats in the field opposite. Everything was perfect and we would 100% recommend to anyone who needs a peaceful break. We would definitely stay again.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Amy's Train Car Guesthouse. It was very clean, comfortable, and the perfect spot to rest while spending a weekend visiting family in the area. Amy was helpful and responsive and she has created a very comfortable and aesthetically-pleasing interior space. We hope to return!

Such a fun and unique spot to stay with lots of cozy spaces for guests. Everything we needed to cook and eat in was available and it was close enough to Santa Fe to go out.

We had a lovely stay at toad and snail, excellent location for exploring the surrounding hills. The carriage was clean, tidy and very cosy. Kitchen had all the bits you’d need for a weekend stay. Gas hob and hot shower was a real luxury! We made use of the log burner, and the place was lovely and warm in no time. The hot tub was simple to use, but did take longer to heat up than expected. Fab stay, can’t complain. Would recommend.

Me and my partner had a beautiful stay. You can really tell how much love went into renovating the carriage, loved the little touch of the renovation photo book x

Flo and I had such an amazing weekend staying in Clover carriage. Beautifully converted, really well kitted out. The little Hobit woodburner is so sweet. Spectacular views of rolling hills from the patio. A truely relaxing weekend. Thanks for being such a great host Clara ☺️

Lovely peaceful place to spend nye, despite the awful weather we had a fire in the chiminea & watched the surrounding fireworks, v unique experience! Thanks Emma.

Super séjour dans un logement insolite, atypique et à la décoration rustique comme on aime, et surtout dans un très beau cadre ! Très bon rapport qualité prix.

This is such a unique and special place! We brought our kids as a birthday weekend away and we all loved it. Patrick was a great host, easy to communicate with, and has created a very unique place to stay. We would highly recommend this rail car turned rental!

AWESOME PLACE TO GO AND TRAVEL TO. the town has lots of sight seeing and stores to go to. the Train was AMAZINGGGG a true dream come true for my childhood bucketlist!!!

Absolutely lovely place - quiet and private in beautiful surroundings, and a short drive into wonderful Shrewsbury. Rebecca provided an incredibly list of recommendations (we particularly enjoyed Ed's fine dining at home catering). Having the kitchen and bathroom (both well equipped) in the guardhouse was a great idea, as these didn't have to be squeezed into the beautiful train carriage, leaving more space to relax. Very, very highly recommended.

These train cars have so much history and charm. Karla has really put so much thought and intent into the decor, the information and time period, and cozy comfort. Little touches like snacks, tea, coffee creamer, etc. beautiful plush towels and comfy beds and furniture. It felt so private and luxurious. The decks and surroundings are lovely and there really isn’t much around at all so it is so peaceful and quiet. I loved the guestbook too and felt so comfortable. Karla was also responsive and helpful, though I didn’t need much help at all because everything was so well thought out. The perfect get away for peace and solitude amid a cozy converted train car and caboose!

Great host and a wonderful place especially for those loving the outdoors. we'll be coming back

I loved the Yellow Caboose! It’s a budget friendly version of the Blue Train Room and a little smaller, but still plenty of room. I loved the record player and the album selection in that room. I relaxed on the yellow couch in the yellow caboose and listened to albums all night one night! I sat outside in the courtyard area one night, with lights strung across the property. The kitchen was great, the shower was perfectly HOT, and the metal bed frame made a little squeaky noise when you got in, reminding me of childhood camp! Add the retro decor and color scheme to that, it was like stepping back in time! I loved it!
