In the centre of the carriage is an open plan seating and kitchen area. The carriage enjoys its own patio and seating area.
Wilby Halt (ref UKC712) is a quirky and unusual property is split over two restored railway carriages. Linked by a railway platform, the first carriage houses the living space including kitchen and comfortable living room. The second carriage is the sleeping carriage where you will find the double bedroom and further room with bunk bed and single bed. This really is a unique experience and perfect for families.

Summary: The railway carriage was perfect, just as I had imagined it, with attention to detail. Authentic but also nice and warm! Set in well-kept, flowery gardens, with a spacious lawn. And what a bonus to be able to book the warm, indoor pool and sauna for an hour at a time and have it all to ourselves! Communication was also excellent throughout. Highly recommended.

Summary: We had a lovely week staying in Railway Carriage One. Really enjoyed using the pool and hot tub, both of which were a lovely temperature. Lots of wildlife around the carriages. We saw a deer one morning and could hear pheasants and even heard barn owls at night. Really enjoyed our stay.

Summary: We loved our stay and our son said he wanted to stay there forever. It’s a lovely little complex with enough space between each carriage for privacy. The gardens and lawns are lovely and well looked after. The carriage was spotless when we arrived. It’s such a nice conversion - very well done. We liked the ability to book the pool/hot tub/sauna for ourselves (an hour at a time). As per other reviews, the homemade welcome cake was delicious!

Summary: Small interior for sleeping but enough room for a long weekend. Be advised that the bunk beds are short and narrow. Our 8 year old woke herself up a few times by rolling over and banging her head against the wall. I wouldn't want to sleep an older child in the bunks. The double bed is also surrounded on 3 sides by walls so one person has to climb over the other to get out of bed. We only swam once as the pool was very tired and had a lot of grass and plant matter in it due to people having to walk over the grass to get inside and nowhere to wash before entering pool. It is in a greenhouse so cold and draughty for us in May but in the summer heat I'm sure it's a different story. Only provided with 2 large towels for the 4 of us. We made do and to be honest there would be nowhere to dry 4 large towels. I would go again but to a larger carriage and not because it has a pool.
