    Character comfort with a railroad theme

    A wonderful character property for any rail enthusiast or if you want to stay somewhere special. The outdoor bath is a real treat and a walk to the beach is well worthwhile. We loved our time here and would recommend it!

    Idyllic peaceful and unique place to stay.

    Beautiful location between mountains and sea. Gorgeous unique accomodation- so thoughtfully renovated. Fab bath. So peaceful!

    Train jolted me awake both nights at 1am. Breakfast mentioned several times in write-up but actually non-catered - not a problem and discussed with owner, just needs to be rectified in accom description as is misleading.
