A rescued railway carriage among the vines

Stay in our biggest carriage, a converted railway carriage set within our chardonnay vines, with a private spa bath, underfloor heating, a firepit and no wi-fi to distract you. We rescued it from a pig farm and up-cycled the original structure, which we believe dates from the 1950s. We're a family farm of 100 acres near Saxmundham, 10 miles from Suffolk's heritage coast and around two hours from London.

Inside the carriage

King bed with a memory foam mattress and hotel-quality cotton bedding
Private en-suite with toilet, rainfall shower and sink, plus locally sourced luxury toiletries
Two-ring hob and all the kitchen essentials
Underfloor heating to keep you cosy, whatever the weather
Front and back decking, with a firepit
Wi-fi free, but we get 4G on most of the farm
Dog friendly (see below)

You'll have the whole carriage to yourselves, so you can unplug from TV and wi-fi without giving up any comfort.

The spa bath

This is the part guests talk about most. Our outdoor spa bath sits on your private decking, overlooking the hedgerows and fields. It runs like a normal bath but has air jets, and it's easily big enough for two. We think it combines the hygiene of a bath (fresh water with every soak, and no waiting for it to heat up) with the feel of a hot tub, and yes, you can use bubble bath and bath bombs. It's an unrivalled way to reset in nature, and it's yours to use 24/7. If you're a Wim Hof fan, it's perfect for cold soaks too. We'll send simple instructions before you arrive.

Your corner of the farm

Your carriage sits in its own private corner of the paddock, within the chardonnay block of our vineyard, where we grow chardonnay and pinot noir vines. With decking at both the front and back, you can follow the sun or the shade through the day.

We provide firelighters and matches, and you can buy wood on site if you'd like to use the firepit.

You'll also meet our three pigs, Pumpkin, Patchwork and Pig, who are always happy to say hello.

On a clear night the sky is full of stars. We keep lighting to a minimum, so please bring a torch or a phone with a torch if you're arriving or leaving after dark.

Getting here and around

There's free parking on site, and the carriage is a short walk across the meadow. Check-in is self-service: you'll collect your key from a lockbox and can come and go as you please. We're always on hand by message if you need anything.

The farm is remote, down quiet country lanes, but we're only 3 miles from the A12, so getting around the coast is easy. A pretty 35-minute walk across the fields takes you to the local pub, and there's plenty more within cycling distance. For the coast or town, you'll want the car.
