We spent some wonderful, sunny days at "Wendy", The Coastal Carriage. It provided a snug little home for the two of us and a solid base to start explorative walks along the coastal footpath or to one of the innumerous beautiful, historical, interesting places in Wales. Everything we needed was there plus an appreciable amount of love for details. Wendy is well worth a stay!

Excellent!No TV,no phone,switchable-off wifi,no traffic,just the sea and the birds and the wildflowers.Right on the coast path totally unecessary to use a vehicle during the stay with enough to see and do on foot.Perfect bolt hole to escape the wedding!We'd love to stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Coastal Carriage. What a cosy, quirky little gem! Our pet dog loved playing fetch and frisbee on the local beaches and we enjoyed some wonderful walks and lunches. Cardigan is a real favourite of ours so the carriage is perfectly situated for trips in that direction. Thank you and I'm sure we'll be back.

The Coastal Carriage is in an incredible position on the Ceredigion coastal path. On a sunny day, it is difficult to move from the rocking recliner on the verandah as the view is so stunning. Excellent walks straight from the door to Aberporth, Tresaith ( muddy!) and Penbryn (steep in parts!). Lots of dogs on the paved path, so if you are not dog compatible, this won't be a relaxing location for you. Fantastic birdlife, including a peregrine falcon, but no dolphins or seals for us. Really funky place to stay, but as with most holiday accommodation,the carriage is in need of a little maintenance. All of the basics are fine - hot shower, good kitchen, great log burner, comfortable beds, .......no TV. It would have been useful to know before we arrived that we could have brought our own data SIM for the WiFi - the closest place to buy one was Cardigan. Similarly, it would have been useful to know that there is a trolley available at the carriage to transport non-wheeled luggage. We will definitely be back.

An enjoyable weekend in a unique and well positioned dwelling.

Absolutely stunning, breathtaking views, cosy warm bedrooms, perfect tranquil surroundings. No WiFi during our stay as limit had been exceeded by previous guests, but you don’t need internet here, too many beautiful walks & sights. 5 min walk to car park, a few more minutes and your on the gorgeous Aberporth beach. Kids & dog loved it! Can’t wait to come again!

Had had my eye on Wendy for some years and decided to book as treat for birthday/mothers day weekend. Arrived a little later than planned due to traffic and made our way along dark coastal path to the carriage. Easy to follow instructions though and carriage was well lit, warm and cosy. Did not disappoint at all - beautifully done and quiet, peaceful with the most amazing view, starry skies and even a dolphin siting as we had breakfast on the terrace, Really stunning place to stay - and thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family. A memorable experience - diolch yn fawr!!

Had a great stay during February half term. The carriage was very warm and cosy even when the wind was absolute freezing outside.

Fantastic setting, cosy and very comfortable. We experienced snow and stormy weather but with the log burner roaring it was amazing!

We had a fantastic 5-night break in this charming Edwardian railway carriage. This place really is a Tardis; I've stayed in proper cottages that had less space. Everything is well thought out to incorporate a great deal of comfort as well as style. The wood-burner not only looked good but worked very efficiently. Bedrooms were small but not claustrophically so. Views were splendid, dolphins were seen a couple of times, passing walkers were friendly, and life was good! We particularly enjoyed swaying from side to side as we walked along the corridor, making train noises! If you get a chance to stay here, go for it.

The most perfect spot right on the coastal path and the most quirky, cosy accommodation imaginable. A good shower, a comfy bed, a wood burner capable of belting out masses of heat. What else could you want? Any time of year, and in any weather staying here is simply bliss. My second stay, and looking forward to returning in the spring.

Lovely relaxing holiday, great for dogs with secure fenced garden. Wendy is full of character and cosy. Beautiful location and saw dolphins most days. It didn't spoil our holiday but 2 x balustrade loose, so need fixing if someone goes with kids. Have recommended already!!

Very original accommodation in a fabulous location, peaceful and beautiful. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Wendy has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Quirky place to stay with an amazing view. I have wanted to have a holiday here for ages and wasn't disappointed. Fantastic sheltered veranda outside and very cosy inside when the wind and rain arrive, as they did. Aberporth beach is a 5 minute stroll along the coastal oath and great for dogs. Loved it!!!

An absolutely amazing place - A fantastic experience and much enjoyable rest break. Great scenery and location-reccommend it ***

Had a great time for the two days we stayed in the railway carriage. It was lovely and warm inside as it was very cold outside. The local people and businesses were extremely friendly and welcoming and we had some exhilarating walks along the coast path. The only problems were difficulty opening the key safe and the door lock, both overcome with a little ingenuity.

A magnificent quirky and cosy property with fabulous views. The lay out is great for a couple or family. A lovely stroll to good beaches. Wendy is very welcoming and perfect for a hideaway and a place to unwind. Great care has been taken and the attention to detail is perfect.

Our third stay at Wendy, we had previously vowed to come back for Christmas as on a previous stay, we arrived just after Christmas and left just before new year. We are certinaly glad we did come back for Christmas Day as our stay can only be described as spectacular! This beautiful carriage has been further improved with the removal of the TV, making our stay even more authentic! We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definately be coming back again some day!

Lovely break staying in Wendy. Keep looking out of the carriage windows to take in the view, the sound of the sea and starry canopy at night this was all we needed to feel very lucky indeed.

If you're questioning whether to book this place, stop now, just book it! It's wonderful! We saw dolphins in our first hour of arrival. The beach is minutes away. - Edward from Copenhagen

We had the most fantastic stay in Wendy the railway carriage - sooo cute! We loved waking up to the sound of the sea, calling 'tickets please!' and using the station trolley to collect our luggage! Such a lovely property and a wonderful location right on the coastal path. All arrangements worked like clockwork and the fire was not only warm and cosy but a great companion and source of entertainment.

Wow, Wendy did not disappoint! The carriage is a wonderful place to stay, surprisingly roomy and big enough for my partner, a toddler, two fairly big dogs and me and so charming. It is situated in the most perfect spot and we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather. The garden is fully enclosed and dog proof and the back verandah gets full sun and is sheltered so a fine place to sit in the spring sunshine. The views in front are fantastic. Lovely to have Aberporth and Tresaith beaches within short walking distance. We had the best time and my son loved the fact we were living on a big train! We will definitely be back.

Loved getting reacquainted with this lovely old girl. Happily the weather was dry and we were able to do lots of walking, returning to our cosy carriage in the late afternoons to get warm by the log burner. It's wonderful being so close to the sea and the new veranda looking out over fields at the back is an added bonus. No Dolphins this time - doubtless they were in warmer waters!

We had a lovely stay in Wendy. The location and views are amazing and the accommodation is very cosy and comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Our host, from the start, was a great host: He ensured that we had clear communication, and, without delay, addressed each and every query which we had. As our first holiday break organised through utt, it could not have run more smoothly. The accommodation was jam-packed with character: The majority of the original features of the carriage remain, and are maintained to a high standard. My son absolutely loved it, and thought he was in a Harry Potter movie! I can very safely say that the views from the accommodation are nothing short of spectacular: An incredible cliff-top view of the Irish Sea, with the Welsh hills in the far distance. As a place to stay, we have never been in a more atmospheric environment, and I would be prepared to recommend this holiday, with confidence, to anyone.” Richard, GB

What a fantastic and unique holiday experience . It had everything there that u needed . The views were stunning and really enjoyed our stay . Never stayed anywhere like this before but will definitely be looking again for this or a similar break away with yourselves thank you utt !!!!!

What can we say except that we took our vintage clothes. And spent a very vintage 30/40s week in Wendy. Amazing place with a real bygone era feel and although it feels a bit of a trek from the car park with a weeks supply of holiday stuff (a larger trolley or wheelbarrow would be better), it was worth it. We would return sometime when pennies permit!

Thankyou for the opportunity to stay at Wendy for a what was an absolutely lovely week. We had such a great time and were blessed with lovely weather aswell. Can't recommend the place enough. Quite simply it's brilliant in every way!

We have just spent a delightful 4 days at Wendy. We had the good fortune to have perfect weather, and spent some of our time - when not out and about- sat on the verandah at the back of the property in absolute peace and privacy enjoying the sun. The carriage is very comfortable, with heating for the cooler months and has every home comfort - apart from a TV, worth noting if this is important to you. Having said that, we had plenty to fill our time, from eating out locally, seal watching(I saw one!) to just people watching. Hope to be back.

As a location. You can't beat Wendy. A spectacular view directly on your doorstep. Surprisingly easy to keep warm and cosy against the autumn breezes. Comfortable beds in quirky carriages went down well. And the dog couldn't believe his luck that numerous dog walkers marched past the gate keeping him well entertained. The town and beaches are a comfortable stroll away as is the car park. A lovely place all round. Thank you UTT

“The whole experience of staying in 'Wendy' was wonderful, Greg emails very clear notes for directions, access and parking and everything was as described with the wood burner set ready for lighting, a pretty bunch of flowers and pack of Welsh cakes on the table to accompany a cuppa on arrival. Full of character, charm and very practical as a self catering destination, great shower, kitchen, a cosy bed and comfy sofas by the fire. A nice touch were the blankets to wrap up in whilst watching the sunset when outside on the decking. The coastal path was well used so do expect a few onlookers, never a problem though and the fuscia and rose bushes add to a sense of privacy. We saw dolphins and seals (from further along the path) had some great walks and swam in the sea at Aberporth. A great place to escape to for a few days, I'm convinced the carriage gangway gets longer the more times you walk up and down it....just fabulous! Look forward to a return visit, thank-you Greg.” Robert, Sussex

Wendy, the Aberporth Express train, was everything we hoped for and more! We knew it would be fun and scenic, but we hadn't expected it to be quite as magical as it was. We were blessed with two separate dolphin sightings, a seal who appeared in the sea one evening and even a friendly bat who loved to circle Wendy at night. For us, being able to put our daughter to bed in a snug, safe and cosy room and then sitting outside and looking out to sea while she slept was much appreciated. Breakfasts on the veranda were also very special. Our advice is to pack everything in boxes (with a lid) then walk down to Wendy to collect the sack truck first. It's a long walk if you're carrying heavy bags. Wendy is sturdy, comfortable, historic and well-kitted out. We will definitely be returning in the future! Thank you. - Melanie J.

We had a fabolous stay and enjoyed our Holiday very much. The booking process was easy and the instructions how to get to the place were also very clear. We will definitely recommend the Website and will book again. Best Regards KLAUS HOHENSINNER

We had a fantastic time staying at Wendy - super location, beautiful views, and very cosy. Couldn't have been bettered!

My partner loves the sea and this little gem is a simply stunning location for that. My partner and another couple made Wendy our Christmas treat, including a full Turkey Christmas dinner. We all had a wonderful time and left so relaxed our feet dragged all the way to the car. Can't wait to go back, it might be our annual Christmas treat.

Our stay at Wendy was absolutely fantastic. We had everything we needed in the carriage, all we needed was food and wood and the odd bottle of wine. The weather was fantastic and you are in such a fantastic location within easy walking distance from so many beautiful places. We spoke to so many friendly people whilst we were there, a lot just walking past the gate at the bottom of the garden. We will definitely go back to Wendy, a welcome break from the mad world

We had a wonderful time in Wendy. The weather was typical April showers and quite chilly but we were snug inside. The views were amazing and we visited lots of pretty beaches along the coast. We definitely recommend staying in Wendy any time of year.

Wendy is in a beautiful spot and we had a great time staying there. Would love to go back again - maybe in season so we'd have more chance of seeing a dolphin....

We really enjoyed our holiday on the Ceredigion Coast! Wendy the Aberporth express is the perfect coastal getaway. The carriage is packed with character and had more than enough space for myself and two friends (one of whom was heavily pregnant!). It had everything we needed and more for a comfortable stay. I particularly enjoyed having my lunch sat on the bench outside whilst looking out over the ocean and listening to the waves - perfect! We explored Aberporth, Cardigan and Tresaith and their beautiful beaches. We also drove to Tenby for the day, which took just over an hour each way. 'The Ship' pub in Tresaith is a definite for Sunday lunch.

"This was a delightful two days. The host kindly left us a packet of Welsh Cakes and enough wood for a couple of fires. The converted railway carriage is charming, retaining much of its original character. Beds were comfortable, and the little rooms all very cozy. The views are stunning and it was great to be right on the coastal path for running and walking. The only problem is we're now addicted to Welshcakes!" Colin from Toronto

We had a fabulous time at the Wendy! We were blown away with the beautiful train carriage, the interior was so lovely with a lot of attention to detail and vintage touches. We were very warm and cosy and loved the log burner in the lounge. The kitchen had everything we needed and enjoyed breakfast on the veranda admiring the incredible view. Greg made us feel very welcome - thanks for such an enjoyable stay! Will definitely be returning to Wendy. - Gabriella Douglas

Enjoyed a wonderful weekend stay at the Wendy with my wife and 12 y/o son! We loved the outstanding views and the easy access to the coastal path. We found the Wendy very charming and look forward to staying again in the future. I did not hear my 12 y/o complain once over the weekend, so it was an aboslute success!! The only negative of the weekend was the Welsh Cakes that were waiting for us upon arrival. I had never had a Welsh Cake before and now I am absolutely hooked on them!!! :) Scott Adams

'Wendy is fantastic - what a location! Our 8 & 7 year olds have had a great time - crabbing, swimming in the sea, sandcastles and the simple pleasures of childhood. ~ Stuart, Nicola, Akex & Hamish from Penarth

'From the moment we arrived we felt that we had stepped aboard Harry Potter's Hogwarts Express - it is simply magical! Aberporth, Wendy, the surrounding beaches, views, wildlife and walks all exceeded our expectations.' ~Russell & Sally from Cheshire

'We saw dolphins every day just in front of the carriage, and loved watching the rabbits in the back field. Every day we walked to a different beach.' ~ Susan and Sean
