Self-Catering Railway Carriage in Newport

The cabin was spotlessly clean and comfortable and the enclosed garden was secure and safe for our dogs. We loved sitting on the decking enjoying the beautiful view and watching the friendly horses in the field. The hosts were so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble, they made us feel very welcome and were on hand if we needed anything. The location of the cabin is so peaceful and beautiful and within a few minutes walk off the disused railway line which was the start of a few walks for us including walks along the canal. Abergavenny is a short drive away for any shopping needs and is a beautiful town. We had a lovely time and would thoroughly recommend the cabin for a peaceful and relaxing break.

From start to finish, our break at the Railway Carriage was absolutely perfect. We were met on arrival (at a social distance) by Nicola and Darren who were very welcoming and made myself, my wife and our two dogs feel at home straight away. The carriage itself is secluded in a beautiful location overlooking fields with views over the Brecon Beacons. Inside it had everything we needed and it was a pleasant surprise to find a lovely lemon drizzle cake and all of the essentials including milk, coffee etc. This was a great find and we loved waking up in the morning and feeding the two very friendly horses, walking in the local countryside during the day and relaxing by the fire pit with a glass of wine in the evenings. We can't wait to return - Nicola and Darren should be very proud of what they've created.

After a hectic few months we enjoyed a relaxing and quiet weeks holiday.. Nic, Gareth and Keith were welcoming and friendly. The railway carriage was warm and cosy. The surrounding area beautiful.

We were greeted by Keith with a warm welcome, and we were delighted to meet his family during our stay too. This charming railway carriage/cottage is situated in a tranquil setting, with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It is deceptively spacious and tastefully decorated. The bed was extremely comfortable and we were able to relax and unwind. We made use of the cleverly designed fire pit to enjoy a bbq and sat gazing at the stars ? into the night...listening to the hoot of the resident owl in the fir trees.. Our dogs were made welcome and seemed to enjoy the experience as much as we did, especially exercising in the adjacent field with the resident horses and sheep, the canal walks, and socialising with their canine pals down by the river in Abergavenny. ?? We also enjoyed an amazing time of worship at Gateway Church in Abergavenny on Sunday morning. Memories to treasure. "what is this life,if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare..."

An exceptionally charming, warm and welcoming cabin - nestled in its own fenced off area (great for dogs! !) within a lovely field with lots of wild life... what more could you want! Nicole has created an amazing place to stay and was so welcoming - we personally had a terrible journey causing us to be late checking in, but Nicole was so understanding and really helped us continue our holiday. Once we arrived we instantly understood this was a special place - we were able to take walks straight from the cabin, eat our meals out on the decking in the sun and spend cosy evenings warm in front of the telly (when the English weather came!). It's a great base location for various walks around the Brecon Beacons and beyond - we even made it to the Pembrokeshire Coast one day. We couldn't speak more highly of this place and have already recommended it to family, friends and colleagues - we cant wait to come back!!

What an amazing place to stay! I stayed with my two dogs for four nights in Aug 2018, and couldn’t have received a better welcome from Nicola and her family. The carriage was beautifully converted, well equipped and very comfortable. The setting was amazing and just so peaceful and relaxing. There are some wonderful dog walks along the disused railway line, the canal and old tracks ways straight from the carriage. Further afield there are lots of dog friendly places to visit and walks in the Brecon Becons. A fabulous few days. Thank you very much

I absolutely fell in love with the railway carriage as soon as I walked in, time and consideration had been put into the layout and design, the cleanliness was faultless and second to none.. I was made to feel so welcome and even Harry my dog was free to rome across the land I left feeling refreshed, rested and look forward to my return, I will never be able to thank Nic, Daren and Keith enough.

What can we say,a very warm welcome on arrival, we were delighted when we saw the railway carriage! . It is set on the edge of a most beautiful field with its own fenced off area,which was ideal for our little dog tilly. Inside the carriage everything was beautiful Co ordinating and cosy.it was very well equipped with everything you needed.the bathroom consisted of a shower, toilet and washbasin. The bed was very comfortable. Lots of lovely walks along the canal and old railway line which were just a few steps away. On the edge of a lovely little village. We enjoyed eating out in the local pubs which were all dog friendly. The whole experience of our five day break was relaxing and tranquil, we will most definitely return. Gail and Pete,Cheshire.
