About this property
Filled with bespoke furniture, hand-made by the artist owner, this quirky railway carriage has been crafted with attention to detail and comfort in mind. Set next to a pond with views to the Norfolk countryside, the sun trapping courtyard is a great place to unwind.
Stepping inside the railway carriage, at one end you will find a beautiful double bed made up with cotton linen. At the other end is a set of funky cinema chairs and a kitchenette. The kitchenette is well equipped with a sink, convection hob, fridge, pots, pans, utensils and crockery. Everything you could need for a one pot wonder! Through the sliding wooden door is an en-suite with a shower, wash basin and WC. The carriage is fully insulated with an electric heater, making it the perfect cosy get away in the winter months.
Outside is a pretty courtyard next to a pond with lovely views of the Norfolk countryside. This sheltered area has a firepit/barbecue and a table and chairs. Please note if booking with children, the pond has not been fenced off. There is a Hobbit House in the garden which is a barbecue hut. It has seating and a large barbecue with chimney inside, making it perfect for cooking, eating and snuggling by in the cooler months.

Our stay at the last carriage was lovely from start to finish! Beautiful carriage renovation, idyllic and peaceful setting. A great place to retreat from the hustle n bustle, one night wasn't enough! Thank you Jo.

I can honestly say it was one of the best 1 night getaways we ever stayed at! Firstly, the owner was so very accommodating, friendly and nothing was too much bother. We was greeted on our way down the road to point us where to go, which was above and beyond! Then when we needed extra wood etc there was no delay, so amazing service.Then the carriage!!!! Just absolutely beautiful, rustic feel, very very clean and cozy. Outside area was so cute. To be honest there was no TV and no WiFi which we thought was amazing as we had much needed quality time with no distractions from our busy lifestyle!There are plenty of places to eat out around the place or eat at the carriage as it accommodates for that.So all in all 100/10 from us would highly recommend.

We are still beaming after our weekend break in a gorgeous, peaceful meadow garden with a pretty view and a perfect space for 2. Jo was very welcoming and gave us some great recommendations for places to visit locally. We thoroughly enjoyed Suffield House (near the Gunton Estate), a really unusual mixture of great authentic Spanish tapas, an eclectic art collection and a wonderful cocktail lounge. Not far from the coast either and we made the most of the lovely beach at Cromer. The Last Carriage has been so recently refurbished that it is like new inside- very comfortable and exactly as described. We loved it! Oh, the fire pit was great fun as well.........
