Hospitality
Railholiday’s self-catering holiday carriage, Harvey, sits in a lovely big garden beside Hayle railway station on the Cornish main line.
This 1950’s corridor coach offers a real trip down memory lane, retaining lots of original British Rail features including lamp shades, luggage racks, mirrors, blinds and upholstery. Harvey is close to beaches, attractions and family-friendly pubs and restaurants.
Harvey is not luxury accommodation. However if you are looking for eco-friendly authenticity, a great big wildlife-packed garden, a base for exploring the far west of Cornwall and an easy walk to shops, eateries and three miles of golden sands, then Harvey may be perfect for you. Pet-friendly Harvey is divided into two lets, and when rented as a whole is big enough to accommodate up to ten, but is also available as a single let (with the other end left empty) making it suitable for smaller parties. We are open all year and offer a £50 discount to locals, and to guests arriving by train. – www.railholiday.co.uk
