Summary

Brockford Railway Siding is a collection of railway themed holiday lets.

We are within comfortable driving distance of many attractions and only 8 miles from Stowmarket.

About Brockford Railway Siding

All of our accommodation has been finished to a high standard and is perfect for families, rail enthusiasts and those looking for a quiet break in the countryside.

All guests have private use of the owner’s indoor pool, sauna and luxury hot tub which can be booked on arrival. These facilities are less than a mile from the accommodation. Other guest facilities include:

Playground for children under 10.
Free Wi-Fi internet access.
Shared acre of garden.
Electric and heating included.
Linen, towels and crockery.
Hair dryer.
Freeview TV.
Radio.
Cot & high chair on request.

The pool and tub are heated from May to September and this winter have stayed heated throughout, but check with us as this isn’t invariably the case, especially in cold weather periods. Both can be used by the hour provided booked in advance by a simple online booking system. Use is at your own risk.

Next door to the pool is a hard tennis court; rather dilapidated it nonetheless has a reasonable playable surface and net. Tennis rackets and balls can be provided.

We have 5 restored carriages & a fine station building available:

The Station House

A spacious cottage and a replica of an original Mid Suffolk Light Railway Station. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 downstairs, one double one twin, and a gallery bedroom with twin beds upstairs. The Station House sleeps 6 people and is also suitable for disabled visitors with easy access from the car park via the station platform and two downstairs bedrooms and a downstairs bathroom.

Railway Carriage One

Fully restored authentic Mid Suffolk Railway Carriage sleeping 4. It has a double bed and two small bunk beds suitable for children under 10. There is also a shower room and kitchenette.

Railway Carriage Two

The largest of our carriages with accommodation for up to 6 people. It is a well-appointed and spacious carriage. It is comfortable and homely, perfect for families, couples or friends. Wake up to panoramic views across the peaceful Suffolk countryside, which can be enjoyed from your bed or the living areas.

The Guard’s Van

A spacious 2 bedroom carriage for 4 people sleeping in two bedrooms, with a double and two single beds. It has a delightful sitting and dining room and beautifully upholstered bench seats which are both comfortable and retain the original feel of the carriage. There is a small kitchen and a shower room with basin and toilet. The Guard’s Van has stepped access with plenty of great views across the countryside and good outside space.

Wilby Halt

One of our more recent properties added, Wilby Halt is a copy of the station at Wilby on the Mid Suffolk Light Railway. Our replica station is complete with an original box wagon and carriage, with the three units linked by a platform. There is a double bedroom in the very comfortable box wagon which sleeps two, while the Station building is another well appointed bedroom with a bunk bed for two together with a single bed. Both bedrooms are linked and share a shower room with basin and toilet. Across the small private platform the rail carriage provides a delightful sitting area with sofa bed should extra accommodation be required, together with a well equipped kitchen with dining area.

The Italian Carriage

The newest edition to our collection is our Italian Carriage. So called because it was used in the last war by Italian prisoners of war working on the land nearby, it has now been converted and updated to far greater comfort than the Italians ever experienced. Sleeping four in two bedrooms, it has a shower room/loo and a kitchen with a small sitting area. It’s a pretty little carriage, compact but elegant and fully equipped for holiday use.
