    noise levels

    Staying in an elegantly refurbished railway carriage was a unique experience, complete with charming decor reminiscent of the 1950s. The breakfast served in the original waiting room was a highlight, especially the delicious bacon. While parking was convenient, I did notice the lack of complementary evening meals on site, which limited dining options for a longer stay. Nonetheless, the local pub nearby provided a delightful alternative for dinner.

    A charming getaway!

    Such a cute hotel! We spent 2 nights in a lovely carriage and felt like we traveled back in time. The breakfast in the waiting room was delish, and we even looked for a steam train! The new owner had a nice chat with us too. Just wished the Wi-Fi was better, but it was a cozy stay overall.

    Staying in an old Pullman carriage was a unique experience, with period artifacts that enhanced the charm. The breakfast served in the old waiting room provided a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere by the log fire. the bed was slightly smaller than expected, and the pricing felt steep given the limited dining options on-site. Despite this, the extraordinary ambiance and character made the visit memorable.

    Staying in a Pullman carriage was really unique! The inside was cozy, with nice furnishings that kept a vintage vibe. The bedding was super comfy, and the bathroom felt recently refurbished, which was a bonus. Cleanliness was on point. Just a bit of warmth in the carriage would’ve been nice, but overall, it was a memorable experience!
