Lots of activities onsite & nearby. Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. The space About this space Get away from it all in true glorious glamping style. Both vehicles are renovated to a high standard with a private view over the fields set in a 40-acre hobby farm full of gorgeous animals, both rescue & exotic The Railway Carriage and Brockhouse have been a much loved firm favourite with many guests over the past three years. Due to personal circumstances it is now offered under new account management so super host status is no longer shared. Both spaces together offer a double bed in the railway carriage, a galley kitchen, kettle, toaster and fridge in both units. Toilet and shower are a few steps away on the platform. Beautiful views across the Waveney valley - which is one of Suffolk's new 'must go' destinations. Great for a couple or a family group where we can offer a private grass area for camping at an additional cost. The Railway Carriage first started work in WW1 as a goods wagon until it found its way to us. Much of its quirky decor has been sourced by the owner's whilst on their flying adventures! It has a comfy double bed. The Brockhouse (our military wagon) is a real hit with vintage fans, military enthusiasts, or those who want to experience a quirky, place to eat or cook with stunning views over the fields. On the platform is a big BBQ, steam punk-style shower and proper flushing loo next to the railway carriage. The accommodation is finished to an extremely high standard with many interesting and characterful touches with a nod to times gone by. Both 'vehicles' have plenty of electric points for charging phones etc. as well as heating, linens, towels and complimentary basic toiletries. Set on a hobby farm offering alpaca ambles around the farm (£20 per head) and flights along the coast (when weather good and pilot available - we only ask for cost-sharing contribution to fuel at £60 per person - note the aircraft is a two seater so it's only one guest at a time!). There are many award winning walks with a nice one across the water meadows to the Geldeston Locks pub. Please note, there is NO WIFI and in the Winter months, it can be chilly in the toilet and shower area but there is an electric radiator. We have a wonderful farm shop which is in walking distance and offers fresh supplies, much being organic and free-range. STRICTLY NO PETS, sorry! Guest access Please feel free to wander around the farm but do respect any retreats, such as yours, as they may be occupied. We positively welcome you interacting (gently and respectfully) with the animals on the farm. There is a parking area next to the carriage which is occasionally used by those visiting the farm, so there may be some activity from time to time but your space is clearly marked private, it is fenced off and surrounded by trees. Other things to note Do feel free to ask any questions about the farm or the animals. If you plan to do an alpaca walk then please note it's a special price for our Airbnb guests of £20 per person, this must be booked directly with Unicorn Alpaca Walks. Regarding flights, this is done on a cost-sharing basis in a modern aircraft from the airstrip which is located on the farm. WE can only take one person up at a time and ask for a £50 contribution for fuel PER PERSON. This is completely weather dependent and best booked on arrival as we hate to disappoint. Please note the plane can only take one passenger at a time.
