After years of leaving little notes on this amazing railway carriage to ask if the owners would let us know if they ever wanted to sell.. we succeeded in buying, and later restoring this Edwardian gem. It was a challenging and pricey renovation, but given that locations like this only come to market once or twice in a generation, we were happy to put in the hard work!
Wendy has since become one of our most popular lets, and we're so proud to bring her to new families every year. The hard work paid off, and guests come back time and again to enjoy some of the finest views in Wales from our converted Edwardian railway carriage.

Wendy, The Aberporth Express ... wow, what an experience. We had a fantastic time in the converted railway carriage in an idyllic location. Right on the coastal path and great places to visit in either direction. We will be returning.

Amazing stay at Wendy. Quirky accommodation and the owners have done a fantastic restoration of the old train carriage with verandas added to the front and back so that you can sit outside and admire the views. It was everything that we wanted it to be and more!
