About this property

Railway train carriage beautifully converted for an unusual stay in Countryside

Enjoy the sounds of nature when you stay in this unique converted railway carriage. Paddington, our luxury self catering accommodation at The Carriage Ely, offers a tranquil, cozy retreat perfect for couples seeking a luxurious, quiet, and romantic getaway with private bathroom with shower . This charming space features its own private garden area, complete with a covered and sheltered hot tub. Despite our tranquil setting we are only a few minutes drive from some great pubs, restaurants and cinema. We are less than a 10 minute drive from the City of Ely with its stunning Cathedral, great cafes, river and antique shops. Saturday and Thursday are market days in the town centre.
Paddington is dog friendly with an enclosed garden so a well behaved small or medium sized dog is welcome.
There is an option to accommodate up to three people by utilizing a sofa chair upon request in our other room Penzance so please do check out our other listing if you’re looking to accommodate 3 people.
