With a light and airy open plan space, the glazed doors open onto a small private garden, with bespoke fittings specially crafted for the carriage. The day bed turns into a cosy double bed with memory mattress and topper providing a perfect sleeping space.

The south-facing Carriage has a private garden with seating for dining, relaxing, bird watching and star gazing. From here you can wander through the garden gate into the meadow down to the River for some wild swimming, fishing or exploring miles of cycling and walking paths. On sunny days you may see the resident chickens and ducks, the owner also has three beehives on the farm.
Set near the Derwent River, next to the Derwent Walk and the C2C cycle route, the countryside has lots of beauty spots for walking, running, cycling and swimming. An easy walk takes you to the village with a café, small supermarket, chemist, hairdresser, beautician, florist, newsagent, fish & chip shop and micro pub.

Summary: Railway Carriage Number 1 was good accommodation for a four-night stay. It is very compact, but the space has been cleverly used. There is a separate bathroom and open kitchen area at one end and the very comfortable double bed goes across the other end with an open area in the middle. The surrounding area is beautiful. Plenty of places to walk the dog, just by following the footpaths by the farm gate. There is also various woodland parks nearby, including Thornley Wood, Land of Oak and Iron and (National Trust) Gibside. It's very relaxing and quiet indeed. The only thing I would say is that it would be a challenging stay if the weather was poor, due to lack of space.
