In a shade of gorgeous green, the Railway Carriage is a large replica brake van offering unique accommodation for up to four people. Magical for young families or a romantic break for two, this perfectly packaged carriage has everything you need for a special self-catering stay in the countryside.
Set against the backdrop of the magnificent Quantock Hills and surrounded by fields and woodland, the Railway Carriage sits a matter of metres from the historic railway track. Marvel at majestic steam trains as they roll on under the nearby railway bridge – all from your pretty garden, while you luxuriate in the hot tub or from the comfort of your carriage!
Inside, the Railway Carriage has been perfectly designed to incorporate a whole home in this single brake van. As you enter the long hallway, you’ll find four doors that take you into each of the beautifully appointed rooms.
The door to your left enters the sunlit open-plan living area and kitchen, finished in a modern, country style. Relax back on one of the comfortable leather sofas to enjoy views of the railway or gather the family round for a good film on the large, flat-screen television.
The wooden dining table with fitted benches and chairs is large enough for everyone to enjoy lazy breakfasts or long dinners together, while the fully fitted kitchen offers style and practicality in spades. A fridge-freezer, a gas hob and electric oven, and even a dishwasher and washer-dryer, make self-catering a breeze in this delightful space.
A set of double doors take you out to the veranda, complete with table and chairs, and conveniently shaded by the brake van’s original roof! From here, you can enjoy your petite garden and, of course, your own private hot tub. Unwind in the jets, count the stars above, and listen to the sounds of the countryside, for a truly heavenly evening.
The bedrooms, both with views of the railway line, are set at the opposite end of the carriage. The first – a king-size room with traditional fitted wardrobes – offers a peaceful place to lay your head. Curl up in the soft duvet and sleep soundly all night long on your Egyptian cotton sheets. The second bedroom offers twin beds, and is perfect for both children or adults. The wardrobe is large enough for all your bits and bobs, and the quirky postage stamp curtains and cushions add a memorable splash of character.
Railway Carriage is also ideal for two well-behaved four legged friends and offers an enclosed garden.
If you manage to drag yourself from your cosy carriage, there’s much for both young and old to enjoy in the local area. Of course, there’s a ride on the West Somerset Railway (don’t forget to look out for the Railway Carriage!), as well the local attractions of Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, and Exmoor National Park to visit. And there’s loads for the kids here, from Tropiquaria to Bristol Zoo. Take things easy in one of the excellent local pubs and enjoy everything from fine dining to home-cooked comforts in one of the many superb restaurants.
We still have limited availability for Railway Carriage this year, some while there’s a busy timetable of train passing by ! Check out dates right here:- https://lavenderhillholidays.co.uk/availability
