Railholiday have beautifully restored iconic railway carriages converted into self catering holiday homes at stations on the GWR main line in Cornwall.
There are 4 holiday carriages in the pretty village of St Germans, near Looe in SE Cornwall and Harvey in the West Cornwall coastal town of Hayle, near St Ives. Each has its own landscaped garden and all but Mevy are dog friendly.
We have been letting our award winning unusual accommodation for holidays and short breaks since 1998.
As a family company we strive to go further to make our holidays special and believe that our 48% rate of returning guests is an indication that we are heading in the right direction.
We pride ourselves on our green ethos and offer an environmentally friendly holiday without compromising on quality or comfort. Catch the train to Cornwall (or if you live within the PL/TR/TQ/EX postcode area) and enjoy a quirky, sustainable, eco friendly holiday and get £50 off for being green! We also have a free EV charging point.
All our carriages have ample zero carbon heating and so we are open all year.
