The owners were brilliant, delightful, helpful, and informative about the local area and the sites to visit and see, which improved our stay at Rayle Farm. The location of the carriage was great for us to get about and sightsee.

No improvements needed, this is a perfect place to stay. Myself and my partner have nothing but good things to say about our stay, everything was so lovely and the owners were so welcoming and there for us if we needed them. I cannot express how much I would recommend this place to any couple that want to spend time together and enjoy Cornwall. It'Read mores perfectly situated between many of the must go to places and is in such a lovely setting. We would love to come back and stay again. Hide

The Railway Carriage is a very special place to stay. We couldnt believe the level of detail in the conversion and subsequent very high standard of furnishings / fittings. Having the hot tub was the bonus to the outside secluded decking. The welcome hamper made the whole experience one we will always remember, thank you for a great holiday, hopefulRead morely we will be back ! Hide

Lovely, interesting place to stay. It is obvious that a lot of thought went into converting the railway carriage, with all the nice little details.
