Train vacation rentals in Northern Europe

The trailer proposed by Mélanie is very cute and located in a charming campsite close to the ski resorts. The environment was very peaceful and the exchanges with Mélanie easy and responsive. We recommend it!

We had a fantastic bank holiday weekend staying in Michael’s beautiful and immaculately kept converted Victorian Railway carriage. The carriage is beautiful and very quirky both inside and out. It was very easy to find and recognise from Michael’s directions and pictures. It is set on the side of a quiet village road with a very large field/old orchard at the back, which our 2 dogs absolutely loved. There are also many long walks around the local area on your doorstep. The carriage is in a perfect location for easy access to the surrounding areas of Wisbech, Kings Lynn, Sandringham Palace(must see) and the many beaches around The Wash. Michael is a lovely gentleman and a great host, who popped by to say hello and have a quick chat. Making sure everything was ok and answer any questions we may have had. I highly recommend a stay in Michael’s railway carriage, as it’s a hidden gem and a great place to unwind!

We loved our stay in the train! Jo and Hilde were very nice. They were easy to get ahold of and made us feel welcomed right when we got there. The train had everything we needed and the bikes were a perk. The floor is very cold so I recommend slippers or thick socks. There is a pizzeria very close by and it was delicious. Overall wonderful stay!

Very good stay in the undergrowth, well appointed wagon, Ludovic welcomed us, friendly and his endearing Azu donkey, we recommend this relaxing and exotic place.

Phenomenal location, place and hosts. Heaven! Absolutely recommended

This was already the second time we stayed in the gypsy wagon, but it was definitely not the last time. The pippwagen is the ideal place to escape from all the hustle and bustle and to relax completely.

We've had a lovely week in the train carriage. Long walks and days on the beaches, cream teas and great meals out. My teenage children even forgot about TV and Wifi and enjoyed lots of chess and board games, and star gazing after days out! If you want to switch off and have a relaxing week in a beautiful part of the Isle of Wight, this is the perfect stay. It's a little shabby chic, but full of charm and has everything you'll need - very cosy and lots of space for dogs to sniff and run around.

This was a full experience with a variety of animals, views and friendly people. Ouchi the dog kept us company and was very joyful. the attention to detail in the wagon was unmatched, felt like a little corner of paradise. We will definitely visit again

An ideal place to rest and go for a walk, a very quiet area, next to the river. Very good option for people who hike or just look to rest. The accommodation is just as seen in the photos, and nothing is missing to spend a few days. The host of 10, always attentive and very quick to answer questions.

Lovely and cozy, private too. Lovely weekend and lovely hosts

Perfect location. Just and no more outside Norwich in a marvellous country setting. On site shop, cracking walkable pubs/restaurants for food. We stayed not the Norwich triathlon which was a 2 minute walk away.

Fantastic location and really quirky accommodation! It was very clean and while simple, had everything needed for the weekend. The joining instructions were really good with everything explained (and even links to videos to make life easy). Would definitely stay again

Everything was spectacular, Lovely stay and extremely accomodating host! Will definitely be booking this again.

This converted train carriage is fun, magical, peaceful with fields, birds and nature all around! Wonderfully warm inside even when frosty outside, thanks to the wood burning stove (and a couple of electric heaters just in case). An easy walk to Blickley Hall which was very nice. Lovely local pub nearby too (Walpole Arms - and they do good food). easily possible to cook in the carriage, and the view from the breakfast bar in the morning was delightful. Pheasants everywhere! A very comfy and cozy bed - we'll be back, to enjoy it in the summer months!

The unique train carriage was a fabulous experience, it was situated in a beautiful place. Weather was terrible but that didn't stop us enjoying our surroundings. Next to the carriage was a pub that served breakfast, the food was amazing and convenient for the family, it's dog friendly too! The carriage does need a little tlc, but we found it pleasant and cosy. Would definitely stay here again. The host was very accommodating to our requirements. Big thank you Steve.

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at The Bolthole. The house is full of character, and instantly felt welcoming, and we were very interested to look up the history of the railway carriage houses in the area. We enjoyed sitting in the warm, sunny conservatory with cups of tea, and watching the 'white horses' on the sea (it was quite windy!). The dogs loved being on the beach as soon as we left the house, and we had some lovely walks in the area. Highly recommended.

Our stay was simply perfect, peaceful, cosy, and had everything we needed. Pauline was very responsive, and so friendly and welcoming. The history of the wagon and work that has gone into restoring it is very impressive, and the attention to detail amazing. Really really recommend this place!

My husband and I had an amazing stay in Laura's quirky train carriage. The carriage was really cosy, eith lots of books , games and DVDs to keep us entertained. We had everything we needed and all the special touches were perfect. Would definitely recommend a stay in the train carriage, especially if you love trains. Thanks Laura for making us feel so welcome and quick responses to my messages.

Small but nice. You are right by the forest, which is great with a dog. In winter, however, it can get a little cold, especially at night, as the wagon does not have the same insulation as a house. Everything is very lovingly decorated. Inside, as well as in the garden :)

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful, Gill was incredible, so helpful and her attention to detail was fabulous…. too many things to list! So you need to visit yourself to find out! Everything was very clean, private and really felt like we’d been looked after. There is nothing we’d change about this stay. We enjoyed how different it was and loved the fire for the hot tub! Outside lights really made the whole experience truly magical. We’d say this place is PERFECT to stay if you are looking for a romantic get away. Thank you for assisting in the arrangement for the Valentines flowers… they went down very well! Thanks Gill…. We loved everything!! M&S xx

Absolutely lovely place - quiet and private in beautiful surroundings, and a short drive into wonderful Shrewsbury. Rebecca provided an incredibly list of recommendations (we particularly enjoyed Ed's fine dining at home catering). Having the kitchen and bathroom (both well equipped) in the guardhouse was a great idea, as these didn't have to be squeezed into the beautiful train carriage, leaving more space to relax. Very, very highly recommended.

Staying on this old retro train was an unforgettable experience! We felt like royalty, surrounded by charm and luxury. The location in the Lake District was absolutely stunning, adding to the magic of the stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for something unique and special!

We had a pleasant stay , in a relaxing place, and atypical accommodation, I highly recommend, to unwind.
