Perfect for a romantic break with a touch of first-class luxury, The Carriage Ely is beautifully positioned amongst soothing countryside, yet with the bustling cathedral city of Ely just four miles away.

An original Great Western Railway carriage that once travelled from Paddington to Penzance, its original charm and character remains… only with the addition of sleek fixtures and fittings, and a touch of opulent décor.

The elaborate Art Deco-inspired living space is a case in point, as is the plush kingsize bed – complete with high-quality linens and a feather down duvet – that you’ll get to curl up in at the end of a long day exploring Cambridgeshire.

Pretend you’re travelling VIPs, as you rustle up meals and snacks in the well-equipped kitchen, to be enjoyed at the original train seats (positioned by the window, of course!) You could also choose to pour a glass of wine and unwind on the scenic patio, lighting the firepit as the sun sets and the stars come out to play.

Complete your morning freshen up in the shower room, after enjoying morning coffee to a soundtrack of nature. Then, why not take a bracing countryside stroll, and work up the appetite for an authentic Thai meal, served in one of the friendly village pubs close by?
