The Carriage Ely Penzance

Penzance Railway Carriage is a fantastic converted GWR train carriage resting on a working farm in rural Cambridgeshire, close to the historic city of Ely and surrounded by scenic riverside walks. Blending original railway character with thoughtful touches, this unique retreat is ideal for a couple seeking a memorable getaway with its covered, private hot tub and charming countryside setting.

Climb the steps to your unusual abode and step into a carriage retaining authentic features including vintage tables and chairs, shelving, and overhead lighting. The open?plan studio layout is designed for easy, relaxed holiday living, offering a well-equipped kitchen with everything needed to prepare homecooked meals, a dining area for romantic suppers overlooking the farmland through the original carriage windows, and a sitting area perfect for unwinding after days of exploring.

A plush king-sized bed sits within this space, offering a place to recharge. Completing the interior is a sleek, contemporary shower room.

Outside, enjoy alfresco dining in the fresh country air or sink into the indulgent hot tub, fully covered and completely private, a feature many previous guests have loved. From the end of the road, a short stroll brings you to the Old Bedford River, with miles of waterside walking and the RSPB Boutwood Hide just moments away, an ideal spot for birdwatching or stretching your legs along the riverbank.

Within easy reach, you’ll find a shop, two pubs, a café, and a fish and chip shop, along with the historic city of Ely, home to the magnificent Ely Cathedral, Oliver Cromwell’s House, and riverside walks along the Great Ouse. Ely also has an excellent cinema, with several out?of?town restaurants located nearby.

Further attractions, charming market towns, and the wide-open Cambridgeshire landscape are all ready to be explored during your stay. Create an unforgettable retreat to Cambridgeshire with a stay at the wonderful Penzance Railway Carriage.
