COALPORT STATION HOLIDAYS, IRONBRIDGE, SHROPSHIRE This is definitely a quirky one, staying in your own converted railway carriage in the middle of the beautiful World UNESCO Heritage Site of Ironbridge in Shropshire. With two resorted railway carriages sleeping up to six they have all the amenities you need from a kitchen with washing machine and a lounge with comfy sofas. You can look out of the window at the countryside beyond and feel as though you’ve stepped back in time. The carriages are situated on a closed part of track and so you can imagine yourself having your own Famous Five adventure as you go for a ramble past the old station and waiting room at Coalport. What child, or adult, wouldn’t love a stay in such an evocative space? coalportstation.com
