About the host

Hosted by Sharron Nichols

Host profile image
Maudie's Carriage has been a labour of love as has the barn that she is in. The barn blew down in the 80s and was rescued and stored until last year. We rebuilt it piece by numbered piece.

What makes this property unique

A Victorian railway carriage converted into a very comfortable holiday accommodation with an attached railway truck for the master bedroom - all covered by an ancient barn. How unique is that!!
