Self Catering Railway Accommodation

The St Ives Bay SK2

The St Ives Bay SK2 is situated in the former goods yard, adjacent to the platform at the coastal town station of Hayle in West Cornwall. The station is on the Cornish main line and is only one stop away from the branch line to St Ives. The carriage is a BR Mark 1 Corridor Second number SK25355 built in 1957. It has been converted into self catering accommodation and retains almost all of its original features including all the compartments, the lamp shades, luggage racks, mirrors, blinds and upholstery. Hayle is the perfect place for a family holiday - you will find lots of interest for all ages by following the Hayle link at the bottom of the page. We have strived to make the carriage perfect for families, with swings, toys, books, videos and more. Our own children Walter (aged 4) and Poppy (aged 1) love staying in The St Ives Bay SK2.

There's lots to do in the Hayle area over winter!
Why not take advantage of our winter break special, which runs from November to March of only £125 for a three day weekend or four day mid week break. Or bring along your friends and enjoy the whole carriage for only £199! (offer excludes school holidays)

The carriage is divided into two separate lets at the central cross corridor by lockable sliding doors. These doors isolate the central cross corridor thus forming a very effective sound barrier between the two lets. The West end sleeps 6 and the East end, 8. The carriage can accommodate groups of up to 14 by renting both ends and leaving the dividing doors open.

Except in school holidays, the carriage is only let to one party at a time. That is, if you book one end, the other end will be empty unless you book the whole carriage or you want friends or family to be in the other end. In school holidays both ends will be let independently.

Pets are welcome except in school holidays (unless the carriage is let as a whole in these months).
