Welcome to

Luxuriously equipped self-catering
holidays
- wrapped inside a touch of nostalgia
Set in the scenic beauty of the Severn Valley Coalport
Station is one of England's most romantic secrets. Up until
1968 Coalport Station was served by the line running from Shrewsbury
to Bridgnorth. Further downriver some of that line remains in use
as home to the Severn Valley Steam Railway. The station however
is now a home, and host to two fabulous carriages offering quite
exceptional accommodation.
This lovely spot is nestled in the dip of the historic Gorge, only
yards from the river itself surrounded by trees and away from any
bustle. Just one and five minutes walk away are warm and welcoming
pubs, with gardens by the river, serving meals and traditional ales
all day every day.

Our "retired" station, which no longer sees
trains passing, sits to one side of relaid track and two self
catering carriages. |

Your self-catering accommodation is
a Mk1 railway carriage furnished with the ultimate in
modern fittings. If railway Directors' carriages were
built today we are sure that they would be similar in
comfort to ours.
|
Step out onto the track path and you can walk into the heart
of Ironbridge and straight to the famous bridge itself. If
you wish to explore this exceptionally lovely area your holiday
continues when you return each evening to your luxuriously
equipped carriage accommodation.
May we recommend you take
a look inside and see for yourself, then tour its
wonderful garden
and surroundings.
