We had a wonderful time staying in the renovated tram. We were looked after very well by Tara. She had everything ready for our arrival. We would quite easily return for another stay.

We enjoyed the retro feel about the accomodation. There's no blinds on the windows that unfortunately makes you wake up early on your holiday. Other than that everything else was perfect.

Tramaversary

We booked to celebrate our anniversary. It was a unique experience without having to travel too far from home. Peaceful surrounds, quirky decor, a very cool microwave from the future, nice shower, bathroom and kitchen. It was lovely.

Tara was very welcoming, friendly and commicative throughout the booking and the stay.What an AMAZING place. Totally unique, so well set up and maintained. And very querky! We were only there for a night and didn't travel far from home but it felt like a proper little getaway due to the originality and obvious love that has been put into the little gem. Everything we needed was there, including the resident horse who whatched our coming and going! Thank you. We will be back and have already made recommendations!

A great toy for a tram enthusiast

For a man who drove trams many years ago a fantastic experience. Drove this same tram #72. Ist class appointments all through the establishment extremely comfortable, peaceful and quiet. Would recommend to all.
