View the Devon countryside in all its glory, from the first-class comfort of an exquisitely restored Victorian railway carriage for two.
  • Sleeps: 2
  • Bedroom: 1
  • Bathroom: 1
  • Minimum stay: 2 nights

Lovingly renovated for exceptional comfort, Dartmoor Express has been built around an authentic Victorian railway carriage that has been in the owner’s family for over a hundred years.

Now a beautiful bolthole for two, you’ll find everything you need on board for a romantic stay in rural Devon – from a well-equipped kitchen and a refreshing shower room, to an elegant double bedroom with antique furniture.

Relax in the cosy lounge area, complete with huge French doors that mean you can view the soothing countryside whatever the weather happens to be doing.  On sunny afternoons, you might prefer to head out to the covered veranda instead, and while away some time with your loved one over a glass or two of wine.

Meanwhile, you’ll have 16 wondrous rural acres to explore, on the edge of the rolling Haldon Hills.  Both the Devon coastline and Dartmoor National Park are within easy reach too, though if you hanker after city life, bustling Exeter is a mere three miles away.

Light the firepit on your return, as you toast marshmallows together under the star-studded evening sky.  You’re sure to agree that your last stop of the day is the very best!
