Train vacation rentals in English Channel

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.

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

The train carriage is beautifully restored and the perfect getaway for a few days of peace and quiet. Marion and Charles were very friendly and recommended a bike ride route for us. Perfect location for country and seaside breaks

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

St Austell's hidden gem! We are so pleased we stumbled upon this quirky, off grid stay nestled in the valley. My wife and I, our 3 children 3,4 and 6 and our dog Winnie all fitted comfortably into the carriage. The boys loved the bunk beds and our eldest took the twin room at the other end of the carriage. We had the double! The weather wasn't great so we had the little woodburner on its the morning and before bed, and the kids loved helping us build the fire. It was our first time using an eco loo, which is not for everyone but I loved it! Fantastic warm outdoor shower added an element of luxury to the stay. There was also a lot of open outdoor space which the kids loved cycling around on. Great opportunity to get the kids away from screens, and our eldest is now addicted to Uno! For us, the carriage was a great intro into off grid living and we found the experience good value for money. Thank you Chris & Jo! The Duseks.

We had the most incredible weekend staying at Clara’s gorgeous Carriage! Highly recommend a stay here, everything was more than perfect! Spotlessly clean, comfy and cosy! The outdoor bathtub was the most relaxing thing ever, even in the rain, watching the trees sway and listening to the birds sing. The views, the privacy, the animals, the pool and sauna, everything about our stay was fab! We would definitely love to book again! 😁

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.

Our stay at Clover Carriage was peaceful, fun and the view we had of the countryside was outstanding. Clara was responsive and gave clear instructions (with photos) on how to find the farm and the carriage. She also gave some great recommendations of the local area. The pool and sauna are fantastic, and the privacy we received in our personal garden was incredible. The accommodation itself is super clean has everything you need. We absolutely loved our stay and will certainly be back again in the future.

So much love is here. I feel complete having spent 3 days being enveloped in the beauty and detail of this home and abundance of nature with my 4 year old son. He loved the little bath and the carriage with additional space and fireplace was exactly perfect. PLUS some excellent recommendations, breathtaking ocean, friendly locals, dogs and children passing by this private treasure that my heart longed for. Hannah is a diamond.

We had the best time at Bothole. Everything was as shown in the photos, and James was a fantastic host. I can’t wait to recommend the spot for a seaside getaway.

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

Absolutely loved our night away! Super quiet area with lovely amenities and the bottle of Prosecco and gin was an amazing touch. The hot tub was amazing and the inside of the hut was so rustic and lovely. Hannah was easy to contact and was helpful in every way possible. We’ll definitely be booking again :)

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Laurent. Le wagon est superbe et très bien agencé et l’emplacement est juste exceptionnel. Calme et tranquillité ont été les maîtres mots de notre séjour ! Laurent a été très sympathique et très réactif lors de nos échanges. Nous recommandons vivement et reviendrons avec plaisir à l’occasion :)

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!
