A really lovely spot in the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside.The carriage itself was clean, well-equipped and well presented, and the brilliant communication from Jan made the process of checking in and out really simple. I really can't recommend it more.

What a quirky & cosy stay! Bed was so comfortable, hot tub was lovely especially at night & the views across the countryside were amazing! Jan was a great host, showed us around & just a txt away if we needed anything. Dog friendly place which was perfect for our little chihuahua he loved it too. We will definitely be back!

We stayed in the Penzance carriage as a minimoon for two nights after getting married. Jan had kindly let us stay with our dog even though the other carriage is more suited to dogs. But the Penzance carriage was still amazing. A garden for us and our dog to have a picnic with lovely views, a spacious hot tub and a fabulously and quirky decorated interior. It’s perfect for a staycation! Deffo will come back and stay again and 10/10 would reccomend!
