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 Area" link to the left of this page. We have strived
to make the carriage perfect for families, with swings, toys, books, videos and more.
Our own children Walter (8) and Poppy (5) love staying in The St Ives Bay SK2.
