Set in an idyllic part of the South West, Railholiday Carriages capture the elegance of train travel in days gone by with these unique and timeless carriages, beautifully restored for glampers. Live the fantasy as you get to know the coast of South Cornwall along with local attractions such as Whitsand Bay and Trematon Castle.

About the site

The carriages are set around a historic station, built in 1858 to a design by Brunel. The station is where your hosts live and its platform is still in use. This is the perfect stay for those looking to try something new and genuinely worth talking about. Your choices here are delightfully quirky and full of fascinating details. Every carriage is packed with authentic touches, and yet comfortable enough to be popular with anyone regardless of whether you're a rail history buff. Each carriage includes a landscaped garden and access to 10 acres of lovely woodland where you can roam and explore. Four legged friends are welcome, except in Mevy. The Millpool carriage is specifically designed to be fully accessible. All towels and bed linen are included at no extra charge.

Things to do on site and in the Saltash area

Your stay is beside a historic railway station, with impressive links to other parts of the country. But, if you'd like to get to know this particular part of Cornwall, there is a fantastic 3 mile beach nearby at Whitsand Bay, with tide pools that are fun to explore.

A trip along the Lynher river takes you to Trematon Castle which is packed with history and Scraesdon Fort, popular with war history fans.

You can drive to the Eden Project to view this unique global garden and the Polperro Heritage Coast is next on the list, dotted with the most gorgeous coves you've ever laid eyes on.

If what you're really looking for is thrills, however, you'll want the Adrenalin Quarry at Menheniot Station, with an incredible zip wire and coasteering options. It's a great group activity and will get everyone active and having fun.
