wow that’s so cool – it reminds me of some of those old Enid Blyton books like the famous five etc…
I live in the UK and LOVE this site. My only frustration is you show such lovely stuff but we can never get it here, so I just look and dream ;o)
Thank you for this, we might give it a go and report back!
There is a place in the US that has train cars set up as separate “hotel” accomodations – it’s a south eastern state, don’t remember which one…….
It’s the Red Caboose Motel in Strasburg PA:

We stayed there a few years ago. It wasn’t antiseptically clean but the atmosphere was great.
