Description
Ely 5.8 miles.
The Carriage Ely Paddington is a distinctive converted railway carriage set on a working farm on the outskirts of Ely, offering a memorable base for two in a unique Cambridgeshire setting.
With countryside walks nearby, the Old Bedford River at the end of the road, access to the RSPB Boutwood Hide, and a covered private hot tub, this characterful retreat is well placed for a varied break.
Step inside to discover a light and open studio-style layout featuring original carriage details, including overhead lights, bag compartments, and traditional seating.
The kitchen is equipped with the essentials needed to prepare meals, while the dining area provides space to enjoy dishes together before planning the day.
The sitting area offers a place to relax after exploring the surrounding area.
Positioned at the rear of the carriage is a king-size bed, with a window above fitted with a blind, allowing guests to look towards the night sky from the covers if they choose.
A shower room with a walk‑in shower, basin, and WC completes the interior.
Outside, the enclosed garden offers room for outdoor dining, while the covered and private hot tub provides a sheltered spot to unwind at any time of day.
From the end of the road, guests can join the riverside path along the Old Bedford River or visit the nearby RSPB Boutwood Hide.
A short drive brings you to a handy shop, a pair of friendly pubs, a café, and a traditional fish and chip shop.
The historic city of Ely is also within reach, showcasing the impressive Ely Cathedral, Oliver Cromwell’s House, and pleasant riverside paths along the Great Ouse.
Ely also offers a great cinema, with several restaurants just outside the city.
The Carriage Ely Paddington offers a distinctive stay in a scenic part of Cambridgeshire.
Around 12 miles away (less than a 30‑minute drive), guests can enjoy visiting Highland Cow Cottage — a lovely local spot that many visitors have really enjoyed.

What guests are saying
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the cleanliness and many little extra things that were put into the accommodation by the owners were top class.
Highly recommend a stay in this quirky holiday let.
Jan and Richard terrific hosts and the accommodation was sport on, high class and uniques with most needs catered for.
Loved the carriage and surrounding garden… enclosed too for pooch. My only slight reservation is wi-fi…. It does mention ‘ok’ signal but it is not fast enough for Netflix or if you’re mixing in work (like teams meet)… (only checking internet/socials) accepted that really you should be away from work! Overall, though we had an ace time
What an amazing place!
The Carriage had everything we needed for a short break, and more. A truly comfortable, relaxing stay. The setting is wonderfully peaceful and Jan was lovely and helpful when we arrived. Surprisingly spacious accommodation with everything you need, as well as wonderful little touches (like the brakes and the telephone!). Pleasantly surprised to discover air conditioning too, which was great in the heat. The hot tub was wonderful and well needed after exploring everything the local areas have to offer. Would highly recommend this accommodation for something different, quirky, yet still luxurious.
