A nostalgic reminder of Edwardian travel, this exquisite glamping retreat will accompany you on a journey you will never forget. Set near Alburgh, 4 miles from Harleston, the one-bedroom hideaway, which sleeps two guests and welcomes dogs, overlooks wildflower meadows in the beautiful Waveney Valley. Stride off on foot or borrow a bicycle to venture off into your picturesque surroundings. Head into the market town of Harleston to potter in the shops, stock up on local produce and enjoy afternoon tea. The magnificent Broads, with their waterways, footpaths and abundance of wildlife, begin 4.5 miles away. Head 13 miles to Beccles to hire a day cruiser so you can explore under your own steam. Norwich, with its historical sights, excellent shopping areas and varied leisure facilities, is 16 miles away. Plan a day to the scenic coast at vibrant Southwold, with its pier, lighthouse and sandy beach, 20 miles away.

Climb a few steps up to the wooden deck to let yourselves into your unique holiday home. Step inside to find delightful, welcoming accommodation that has been creatively designed to ensure complete comfort throughout your stay. The accommodation centres on an open-plan kitchen/diner/bedroom, where you can unwind together when you are not out on the lovely decking. Lay a fire in the wood burner in here to keep yourselves toasty and warm, and make cups of tea and light snacks in the kitchenette. There is also a fridge in a cupboard at the back of the carriage. As darkness falls, retreat to the double bed for a tranquil night’s sleep. You have a shower room with a WC within the carriage too.

Gaze out over the countryside as you have breakfast on the deck in the morning. Cook out on the BBQ and warm yourselves beside the fire pit on chilly nights. Run a hot bath in the outside tub or take your book over to the hammock and feel the cares of the world lift from your shoulders. Bicycles are available to borrow to explore the local area. There is parking for one car.
