The open plan living area, and an adjoining kitchen, allows families or friends to spread out, relax and enjoy their holiday together.

The Guard’s Van (E5639) offers two comfortable bedrooms for four people, with a double and two single beds. It has a delightful living and dining room with comfortable, upholstered bench seats which retain the original feel of the carriage.

    We were very comfortable in the coach.

  • Confirmed Guest

    Unusual accommodation but comfortable and well equipped - quite isolated so very peaceful and quiet

  • Confirmed Guest

    Carriage 2 was lovely to stay in. We were just two so had all the space to ourselves. Our bed room was very comfy. The Sofa bed was not tested but the sofa and chairs were comfortable. You don’t need to be a railway enthusiast to appreciate the carriages authenticity. The area they are set in was quiet and peaceful, only woken by the birds!!It might be a little more cramped with six (as many as it sleeps) but I would definitely recommend and stay again!
