What guests are saying
We had a fabulous short break in the wagon.
It is so well equipped, everything you need is there. Bed is comfy, sheets and towels are nice. We had good weather so had breakfast outside, and sat and watched the birds and animals in the field in front. Lovely area, lots to explore. Thanks for a lovely stay.
The perfect place for a relaxing break.
The accommodation is thoughtfully furnished to a high standard and is very comfortable. We arrived to a very toasty wagon thanks to the pre-lit log burner. We appreciated the welcome pack and loved the Welsh cakes. It’s such a peaceful location and very just relaxing sitting observing the sheep in the neighbouring field. The barbecue works well and kept us warm as we sat out under the stars in November. Personally, for cooking I’d have liked a couple more pans of different sizes and a few more cooking utensils but I can’t deduct any stars as overall the accommodation was excellent and one of the best self-catering places we have stayed at. We had a lovely lunch at the nearby Ludlow Kitchen and enjoyed a visit to Ludlow Distillery on the same site. Ludlow Castle is also well worth a visit.
We had a wonderful week at the GWR wagon, what a fantastic place to stay.
The wagon has been lovingly created and furnished with great attention to detail, perfect for railway enthusiasts such as ourselves. The location is perfect for a peaceful escape with views over the countryside. The owners Sam and tash couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. A very beautiful place to stay.
