Delightful unique stay with excellent hosts
We just loved our short stay with Barrie and Pam at the Red Rattler. The train carriage itself is so charming and comfortable, but what really made our stay was Barrie and Pam's hospitality. Every detail was taken care of - Barrie ensured the outdoor fire was lit for us when we got back from the pub, Pam's home made jams in the fridge were delicious, and care was taken to ensure we were comfortable through our stay. The camp kitchen is well equipped and we made ourselves a full dinner one evening, enjoyed outside by the fire with Tom the cat for company. Would definitely return!

Interesting place
If you are looking for something completely different this is for you. One long mid 1900s red train carriage divided into 3 parts. 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. You can book one or both bedrooms (the first bedroom includes a kitchenette.) There is also a camp kitchen outdoors nearby. While the facilities are fairly basic they are comprehensive, and help is readily at hand from Barrie and Pam. The sound of the myriad birds in the early morning is a delight. Very peaceful, and the nearby Boorhaman Hotel is a bonus for a surprisingly good meal.

Red Rattler
Where to, the booking process was very easy. Meet on arrival by the host who fully explain everything about the site plus additional information about the surrounding area. In fact, he was available throughout the weekend but assured us that our privacy maintain. Will be back and recommend Red Rattler to friends. Thank you for a lovely weekend.
