Railholiday have five beautifully restored and well appointed self catering railway carriage holiday homes at stations on the GWR main line in Cornwall.
We have been offering our unusual award winning holiday accommodation and short breaks for over twenty years.
Our holiday carriages sit in their own landscaped gardens and, with the exception of Mevy, are dog friendly. Catch the train to Cornwall for a quirky, sustainable, eco freindly holiday and get a £25 discount for being green, or take advantage of our free Electric Vehicle (EV) charging point.
Did you see Harvey on Michael Portillo’s Great British Railway Journeys series 11? The Travelling Post Office also featured in his first season.
There are four carriages in the pretty village of St Germans, South East Cornwall and Harvey in the West Cornwall coastal town of Hayle, near St Ives. Click on the pictures below for more about each railway carriage holiday let or go to our Carriages page for an overview.
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. All our carriages have ample heating and so we are open all year and offer £25 off if you come by train, bus, bike, on foot or live within the PL/TR postcode area.
