Tucked away on the site of the Mid Suffolk Light Railway track bed, close to the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway Museum, these delightful and unique holiday properties are based on the railway theme: one a station building plus 5 converted railway carriages, enjoying panoramic views across rolling countryside.



The Station House (ref E5336) is a comfortable detached, three-bedroom station building, typical of the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway. With one double and two twin bedrooms, it can house up to six adults.



Railway Carriage One (ref E5337) is a compact but airy carriage with a living room and kitchen area and sleeps four in comfort. There is a double bedroom and a second sleeping area with two short bunk beds suitable for children.



Railway Carriage Two (ref E5601) is a well-appointed and spacious carriage with two bedrooms, one double, one with two bunk beds, and a further sofa bed in the living area to sleep two. The open plan living area, and an adjoining kitchen, allows families or friends to spread out, relax and enjoy their holiday together.



The Guard’s Van (E5639) offers two comfortable bedrooms for four people, with a double and two single beds. It has a delightful living and dining room with comfortable, upholstered bench seats which retain the original feel of the carriage.



The Italian Carriage (UKC3492) offers accommodation for up to four people. At one end you will find a bunk room, sleeping two people and the other a double bed in the master room. 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.



It is surrounded by country lanes and farmland, making it an ideal location for those who enjoy cycling, walking and just relaxing and getting away from it all. It is centrally located, so it is also a great destination for those who want to sample what Suffolk has to offer. The owner’s own swimming pool, ¾ mile away, is available (booking required) and is heated March to November. There is also a hot tub and sauna.

Local amenities can be found in the pretty village of Debenham only 4 miles away, which has some lovely shops, pubs and cafés, as well as a local supermarket and leisure centre. The beautiful village of Mendlesham, 1½ miles, has a pub, post office, local store and bakery. It is within a short walk of the Mid-Suffolk Railway Museum, with steam trains at weekends in summer. Shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles.



These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 29 guests.

Our four night break turned into two nights due to COVID-19 lockdown but we still enjoyed our stay.

Our four night break turned into two nights due to COVID-19 lockdown but we still enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and well equipped, in a conversion that also retained the look and feel of a railway carriage. We had time to visit Felixstowe, the Museum of East Anglian Life in Stowmarket and Stonham Barns. Hopefully, we will be able to return for a longer stay.

Beautiful and very relaxing, think in summer would be even better. My only issue was couldn't work out how to lock the carriage from the outside. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Was much better than I expected!! It was so well equipped and extremely clean, no worries about Covid. Only downside is it is not very near to local facilities ie nearest village pIn was a drive away, wouldn’t like to walk to it, very dark lanes and no footpaths. Overall though we enjoyed the break.

Beautiful place in the country.

Beautiful place in the country. Very quiet and relaxing and the swimming pool and hot tub were great although hidden away on a farm about a mile away. Beautiful scenery Stonham Barns nearby. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Great week spent here.

Great week spent here. The carriage was excellent with everything you need already there and was very clean. The grounds around the site were immaculate too and great for the kids to play. The swimming pool, hot tub and sauna were great too. Only minor issue would be that it could do with some nicer outdoor seating. Would highly recommend a stay here.
