Do you dream of a truly unique escape, deep in the Somerset countryside, steeped in rich English heritage? We did too: so we made one! Our bespoke, purpose built Railway Carriage sits right on the West Somerset Heritage Railway and we promise you’ve never had a holiday like this. The Railway Carriage sleeps four in two bedrooms with unbeatable views of the railway – lie in bed and watch the locomotives pass your window. Better yet, sink into the bubbles of your own private hot tub and let history roll on by.
There are stacks of things to see and do in this corner of Somerset but the real draw of the Railway Carriage has to be the fantastic West Somerset Railway. The lovingly preserved heritage line covers some 20 miles of unbeatable Somerset countryside from the rolling Quantock Hills to the family favourite seaside resort of Minehead. With ten stations along its tracks it’s a fantastic way to explore our beautiful area.
For enthusiasts of rail travel, locomotives or British history, time your stay in our Railway Carriage to coincide with the West Somerset Railway’s timetable for front row seats. In fact there are just four weekends left this year with availability when the trains are running – don’t miss out!
- 10th to 13th June
- 17th to 20th June
- 19th to 22nd August
- 23rd – 26th September
When you’re ready to drag yourself away from the heritage railway, why not explore the fantastic countryside on a decidedly more modern mode of transportation? We now have a fleet of e-bikes ready and waiting to take you on an adventure! Book your e-bike before you arrive and we’ll have it ready and waiting at the Railway Carriage for you. We can even give you an itinerary so you don’t miss the very best bits of rural Somerset, all without breaking a sweat!
