Train vacation rentals in Western Europe

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!

We had a really wonderful stay in the carriage.. it was quirky and great.. Steve was a great host, showed us around and told us the history... There was photos to look at showing the building work that occurred a real labour of love.. everything we needed was in the carriage. A very comfortable stay.

Such a cool place to spend the night! So unique!!

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!

we had a great stay! How we enjoyed this special location; a beautiful train set in a quiet location. The children had the ruin to play/play/play/badminton. We were also able to take the bike for a round of cycling. We look back on it with great pleasure.

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 fantastic little escape — serene, peaceful, and offering a stunning panoramic view. It is wonderfully remote and secluded, yet ideally located for local hikes and exploring the Brecon Beacons. The lovely little carriage is beautiful and cosy, perfectly fitting the whole 'closer to nature' experience. Graham is an excellent host: friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The freshly baked loaf was such a nice touch as well. Thank you for a truly wonderful stay!

Everything was just as it was listed. Beautiful clean peaceful. We had a relaxing time loved it. Highly recommend. 😊😁

Bryan's place isn't just a "place," it's an experience, and an amazing one! The careful and meticulous rehabilitation of a piece of railroad history into one of the coziest and easily the most memorable Airbnbs we have ever stayed at was apparent in every detail. The proximity to Marietta is perfect, being an easy, short drive away, with Bryan's property being very private and peaceful. For anyone driving an EV, there is a 220v NEMA 14 plug on-site that worked perfectly with the standard GM dual-level charger. Truly an amazing time Bryan, thank you so much, and we'll have to back soon to try out the blue caboose!

What an incredible stay! We had the pleasure of staying in Wagon Lea, a charming converted wagon on a beautiful farm, and it exceeded all expectations. The private garden was a perfect spot to relax, with stunning views of sheep, goats, and cows right at our doorstep. Ruth was so friendly and helpful, offering great local tips and ensuring we had everything we needed. The wagon itself was immaculate – cozy, well-equipped, and thoughtfully decorated. The area is a nature lover’s dream, with miles of scenic walks to explore. Our dog was also treated like royalty, with thoughtful touches like bedding and treats left just for her. We had such a relaxing and memorable stay – can’t wait to return! Highly recommend!

Fantastic place! This home is in a quiet neighborhood with a family friendly feel. The home is an old train car. It’s very unique and absolutely adorable!!! Love the decor and the porch swing. Enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again when we visit again 🚂

What can I say about staying on a 1920s luxury Pullman Train Car? What an adventure. We are "Harvey Heads," folks that seek out Fred Harvey hotels and restaurants. Just across the road from The Hamilton is a wonderful (weekends only) eating place, The Legal Tender, renovated beautifully by the amazing Alan Affeldt team (also did La Posada in Winslow; Plaza and La Castaneda in Las Vegas NM). Yes, the narrow hallway and the compactness take some getting used to, but what an exciting venture. We fretted a bit about supplies for cooking on the train as Lamy is truly where "Pavement Ends, West Begins." The pantry was much more thoroughly stocked than we expected: spices, flour, pancake syrup, LOTS of salt and pepper, baking soda/powder. Of course, coffee and tea in good supply. We did bring oil for cooking and salads. We had a blast prepping dinner in the small kitchen, each couple taking the lead for menu planning and preparation. In spite of high winds during our stay, the train was snug

A great little place for a peaceful getaway, quite a unique place on an old train carriage, lots to do around and a helpful guide in the carriage point you in the right direction. Very helpful hosts too, we had an issue one night with the electrics and sent a message not expecting a reply until morning, however we received not only a reply, but the problem was resolved straight away! Will 100% be visiting again!

Had a really relaxing and chilled stay. The carriage has so much character and is just perfect for a weekend break. Nice touch to find Prosecco, milk and breakfast food in the fridge on arrival.

Immersive environment mix with nature and well being facility include sauna, outdoor bath, swim pool and birds, everything you imagine could happen here, at least from my world of having luxury indulge with balance of nature creations, river, green, bird and horse. Also this credit to the owner of the family who took good care of the land and service. And the price is unbeatable. One more sentence We will be back

This is a great place to stay, surrounded by beautiful scenery and lots of places to explore locally. Emma is an absolute great host who looked after us so well! Would absolutely recommend

It was a very nice stay in a very atypical and rustic place. With lots of nice details. Something completely different. We would do it again and again.

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!!!

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

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!

Highly recommended!!! Very sweet people and a real top location! Would do it again in a heartbeat.

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!

Our stay in the yellow caboose at the Train Wreck Inn is one my son nor I will ever forget! We went to stay there for his 5th birthday and he was so excited! We are already looking forward to going back and staying in the blue train car next time! The place was super peaceful and the small town was very neat and felt very safe! The courtyard area was very nice and the cornhole set made it so much fun with something to do out there and the hammock was nice to relax in too! We requested the TV for our weekend there but we did not even use it! So many great things to say about this place and can't wait to go back!
