This historic railway carriage has been transformed into a blissfully cosy cabin for two, peacefully nestled in a chocolate box Welsh village.

Sleeps: 2
Bedroom: 1
Bathroom: 1
Minimum stay: 2 nights

You’ll find the charming rural village of Govilon just three miles from Abergavenny, perfectly placed for long Wye Walley walks, or more challenging hikes through the Brecon Beacons.

Rest your heads aboard a cheerful, 100-year-old railway carriage, creatively transformed into an elegant bolthole for two.

The open plan interior will relax you instantly, with a coal fire to warm your evenings, and a downy double bed for lazy lie-ins.

Kitchen and bathroom facilities are provided, while outside awaits a firepit that’s perfect for marshmallow toasting under the twinkling stars. It’s the perfect treat after a hectic day spent exploring the area…

…or an even more hectic one of contemplating the rolling hills from your enclosed garden.
