![]() The St Ives Bay SK2 |
The St Ives Bay SK2 is a beautifully converted BR Mark 1 Corridor Coach adjacent to the platform at Hayle railway station on the coast of West Cornwall, UK, 5 miles from St Ives. A sympathetic conversion to self catering holiday accommodation means this carriage retains most of its original features. It is within easy walking distance of the golden sands of Hayle beach, Paradise Park and a wonderful array of Hayle restaurants. Public transport is good with both train and bus access easy. The carriage is divided into two holiday homes, each with its own kitchen, lounge/diner/bedroom, bathroom and bunkroom (the East End has an additional double bedroom). By booking both lets, it has the capacity to accommodate two families or larger groups of friends. On-site there are swings and the enclosed grounds around the carriage are spacious - plenty of room for den making as well as viewing the trains! Outside of the school holidays the West End can be added as an extra to the East for only £120. |
