Priced for 2 staying, sleeps 4 - A converted train carriage on the edge of the sea by Aberporth!
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.
Mwynhewch rai o olygfeydd gorau Cymru o’r Coets – ein coets reilffordd Edwardaidd sydd wedi ei thrawsnewid a’i lleoli ar lwybr treftadaeth yr arfordir ger Aberporth. Mae’r mynediad uniongyrchol o giât yr ardd i lwybr treftadaeth yr arfordir yn golygu bod hwn yn safle delfrydol i archwilio arfordir Gorllewin Cymru. Gallwch fynd i lawr i’r traeth o flaen y Coets (mae’r creigiau’n wych ar gyfer deifio) ac mae’r traethau tywodlyd, glân o fewn 400 llathen ar droed. Mae tafarn, siop y pentref a safle cludfwyd o fewn 5 munud ar droed. Mae golygfeydd godidog o’r wlad neu’r môr o bob ystafell. Safle tawel heb ffyrdd o fewn 300 llath na smic na llygredd swn!
