Located in Melton Constable, Norfolk, this unique accommodation offers a charming escape for two, set against the backdrop of the picturesque Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property, a meticulously restored Victorian railway carriage, invites guests to indulge in a nostalgic journey reminiscent of the golden age of steam travel. Although it retains its authentic character with original flooring, brass fittings, and a late Victorian walnut double bed, modern amenities such as electric lighting and a compact fitted kitchen ensure a comfortable stay. The carriage's layout features an open-plan living area that transitions into the guard's van, which houses the bedroom and en-suite shower room, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

This idyllic setting is perfect for those who appreciate both romance and railway history, making it an ideal getaway for couples or railway enthusiasts.

For those looking to venture beyond the carriage, the stunning beaches, marshes, and charming villages along the North Norfolk coastline are just a twenty-minute drive away. The accommodation also includes the option to book a nearby Signal Box, which can accommodate two additional guests, making it a perfect choice for gatherings with friends. Pet owners will be pleased to know that the property is pet-friendly, allowing up to two well-behaved dogs for a small additional fee, and there is even space available for horses at an extra charge, although stabling is not provided.

Guests can enjoy a variety of amenities during their stay, including a kitchenette equipped with modern appliances, a dining area, and a comfortable sitting area with a widescreen Smart television. The property is designed for convenience, with easy access to parking and a washing machine available through the owners if needed.
