Converted railway carriage
Inside, the space has been carefully designed to honour its 1930s heritage while delivering a clean, contemporary finish. At its heart is a wood-burning stove, bringing warmth and atmosphere on cooler evenings and making it an ideal year-round glamping retreat, whether you’re visiting in the height of summer or escaping for a cosy winter break in the Peak District
Offering surprisingly spacious accommodation, the converted railway carriage features a comfortable double bed, a cosy seating area, and a well-equipped self catering kitchen. A private ensuite shower room makes it a fully self-contained and comfortable base for exploring everything the Peak District has to offer – from scenic walking routes and cycling trails, to charming Derbyshire villages on your doorstep.
