Loved our stay, the log burner was particularly welcome. Great welcome pack. ##### Philip Entwistle From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona Lidstone-Green 6 Jul 2025 #### We absolutely loved our stay in Elsie. We absolutely loved our stay in Elsie. It was amazing to stay in a beautifully preserved railway carriage. She has all the mod cons you would expect in a holiday cottage with the magic of being a vintage carriage with lots of lovely original features. The owner of Elsie was lovely and was genuinely concerned about our drive down in storm Bert. We arrived to a lovely warm carriage and a welcome pack out of this world. After a long drive we tucked into lovely warm crumpets and a glass of wine from the hamper. A fabulous place to stay in November and recharge batteries. Highly recommended ##### Fiona Lidstone-Green Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Tanja W. 28 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Außergewöhnliche Unterkunft Der Zugwaggon ist wirklich eine sehr besondere Unterkunft. Uns hat es sehr gefallen. Die Einrichtung ist mit Liebe zum Detail. Es war sehr sauber und alles vorhanden was man im Urlaub benötigt. Leider war die Klospülung meistens nicht zu stoppen und ist permanent nachgelaufen. Der Waggon ist wirklich sehr schön, benötigt aber dringend eine Restauration, vor allem die Fenster. Die Lage ist sehr schön und ruhig, wenige Minuten zum Strand. Ein paar mal am Tag fährt ein schöner alter Zug vorbei. Absolut herausragend war das Willkommenspaket mit Toastbrot, Butter, Marmelade, Milch, Cerealien, Milch, Käse, Soßen … ##### Tanja W.
