Train vacation rentals in British Isles

This is a beautiful place to stay. The railway carriages are so unique- my children loved that they were sleeping in a carriage . The communal building exceeded my expectations with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, comfortable sofas, a pool table, vending machines, toys and board games. TV didn't seem to work but that's not a bad thing since we were trying to have a screen-free break, lol! Dining tables and chairs were clean. Toilet and shower rooms were immaculate. Shower head not super powerful but that is personal preference. Joey emailed clear instructions and lots of information to make our stay the best possible. We were surprised to see so much to do outdoors - football and goals, table tennis, rounders bat and balls, cricket bats and balls. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful stay at Michael's railway carriage. It was perfect for us and our pooch. So cosy, clean, comfortable and quirky. Michael is an exceptional host, great communication and very friendly. We much appreciated the bottle of wine that magically appeared! We can't wait to come back ☺️

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

A lovely little place, situated a stone’s throw away from the market square. It’s as quirky as you might expect of an old converted train, with lots of small nods to its history for you to find inside, and the pretty outside space will help you feel like you’re away from it all.

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

original beautiful natural setting quiet, peaceful charming, caring and attentive owners

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.

A truly lovingly designed caravan in the midst of wonderful nature and a uniquely implemented concept. Everything you need for cooking/living and feeling comfortable is available, you feel right at home. If you want to switch off for a few days and enjoy nature, this is the place to be. I had a great stay and was able to take long walks and visit Ghent/Bruges despite some rain. In the surroundings of the accommodation, you can spend hours in nature. Françoise and her husband were very accommodating and are great hosts. I highly recommend the Roulotte de Framboise!☺️

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 .

It was a pleasure to stay at the carriage hosted by Verity. Lovely host and an absolutely beautiful place to stay! Would highly recommend.

What an amazing few days we have had here . Liz and partner were so welcoming and made us feel right at home . What lovely people they were ! The carriage was so much bigger inside and had absolutely everything we needed . There were sheep just outside of the carriage which was lovely to look at ! Thankyou so much for a lovely time , we will be recommending to all friends and family 🥰

I had an incredible stay at this Airbnb hosted by an outstanding host. The place felt like it had just been built, exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The host went above and beyond, providing logs for the wood burner and being extremely helpful whenever we needed assistance. Our toddler had a blast interacting with the friendly cows on the property. The location is perfect for exploring the Cotswolds, with beautiful walks just a stone's throw away. I can't wait to return; this experience was truly exceptional.

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.

Very nice stay. Happened to meet Amy when we arrived and she was warm and friendly. Lovely little place with just what you need. Lots of storage under the bed with the microwave, hob etc underneath ready to be pulled out and used. Comfy bed. Slept me and my partner (we’re both 6ft tall) no problems. Nice cosy long weekend away with a fire to keep us warm.

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 .

What a lovely peaceful place. So well equipped. Extremely peaceful, just the beautiful birdsong. Lots of wildlife to see, including deer whilst sitting outside. Pauline and Martin were so welcoming and friendly. I loved the history of the Wagon and all its lovely historic touches.

Great place to stay if you're looking for something different. Great hosts we learned so much about the history of the accommodation and area. Very peaceful area with lovely views. Comfy and clean accommodation, had no problems and would recommend this, especially if youre looking for something unique. Instructions very clear so you wont get lost and host available if needed. Thank you!

Loved our stay here, peaceful and perfect for a romantic get away, everything was ready, no faff with check in as the key was in the door, hot tub was ready to use, lovely area, I had booked it for my boyfriends birthday and Prosecco, balloons and banner was laid out all ready :) very comfortable stay, peaceful area with animals too and I’d definitely recommend and stay again! Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful stay & definitely relaxed would thoroughly recommend & hopefully we will be back again in the future, the surrounding areas were beautiful and just a short journey into North Wales. Loved our stay! Thank you

Booked this as a surprise for my Husband's special birthday and we had an amazing stay. Peaceful setting with nice walks in the area. We walked to the Royal Yew which was one of the recommendations and it didn't disappoint, the food was fantastic. The train was unique and had everything we needed for a long weekend in the Lake District. A great trip for a train enthusiast - Thank you for a great stay!

We had a wonderful stay. As soon as Lynn welcomed us with a big smile and drove our luggage to the accommodation, our holiday started. The setting, in a beautiful, private, riverside meadow, surpassed our expectations. It feels like you practically have a valley to yourself, apart from occasional visits from rabbits, grouse, deer and chickens. The only sounds are from nature and wildlife. We grew quite attached to one particular chicken who liked to hop onto our decking to say hello every morning. The converted railway car has been fitted out so perfectly and immaculately, it's the most comfortable and cozy accommodation of it's type that we have stayed in. It's quite spacious and spotlessly clean. Every detail has been carefully attended to and we really appreciated the little extras which our hosts had included for us. The firepit/BBQ is a wonderful bonus. Lynn was so kind and lovely from start to finish. A genuine Super-Host! We would have loved to stay longer! Highly recommend!

This is our second trip to Victoria's train carriages. My sister and I adore staying here with our kids. Victoria's place is fun, friendly, inviting and just so relaxing! The facilities and personal touches are so homely, the perfect place to shut off from everything and enjoy some time away! Thoughtful welcome treats greet you on your arrival and the kids always enjoy the selection of board games. We made use of the fantastic outdoor space this time around and also spent time on the beach, which is just a very short walk from the carriages. Thank you once again Victoria! We cannot wait to return!
