    Mind-blowing pod with all the essentials and more! Super cozy, stunning evening sun on the veranda, and a private garden with a hammock and picnic table for jaw-dropping outdoor dining. Free parking, electric kettle, and cookware provided. Tranquil location close to town.

    The pod was just adorable and surprisingly spacious. It had everything we needed, from plenty of towels and tea to a picnic basket full of breakfast goodies. The cleanliness was top-notch, and we felt instantly at ease in the cozy atmosphere. The location was incredibly peaceful, with birdsong waking us up in the morning. We loved the outside seating area and the feeling of being nestled in nature. The owners really went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, even providing complimentary milk and pastries for a hassle-free first morning. It was the perfect retreat after a few days in a hotel.

    One minor downside was the internet signal, which was a bit weak. However, we saw this as an opportunity to disconnect and truly unwind.

    I recently stayed in the Railway Pod for a few nights and it was perfect for our family glamping trip. The tranquil and secluded location was exactly what we needed to unwind. The pod had all the amenities we required, including complimentary milk and pain au chocolat for our first morning. The decor was charming and the pod was clean and well-equipped. We loved the garden area with a hammock, picnic table, and BBQ. It was a lovely touch and made our evenings cozy. The proximity to Castlewellan Town was convenient for us, as we were driving.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    The location was amazing, so close to Belfast and other attractions. The garden was a nice touch, especially with a toaster and barbecue.

    Just loved the dog mess all over the place. It added a special touch to the beautiful countryside.

    The pod is situated in a tranquil location, surrounded by beautiful countryside and offering a peaceful atmosphere. Guests can enjoy the lovely outside seating area and private garden, complete with a hammock and picnic table. The owners have taken care of small details, such as providing complimentary milk and pain au chocolate for breakfast, and ensuring the pod is well-equipped and clean.

    The adjacent collection of vehicles and faint property number at the road side may be a bit off-putting.

    The Railway Pod was such a cosy stay with a lovely evening sun on the veranda. The little private garden with a hammock, picnic table, and BBQ was a nice addition. The pod had everything we needed, including tea/coffee, milk, and jam, as well as towels and shower gel. The hard stand parking was great and the location was isolated but not remote. The owners thoughtfully provided milk in the fridge and a few essentials for breakfast, which was a nice touch. The pod was well-equipped, clean, and had nice decor. It was perfect for a family wanting to do glamping and make their own food. The tranquil surroundings, the birdsong in the morning, and the lovely outside seating area made it a truly relaxing stay.

    As women traveling alone, we loved the cosy and lovely atmosphere of the Railway Pod. The size was bigger than expected and it provided plenty of towels and tea/coffee. The picnic basket with cereal, porridge, and brioche was a nice touch. The place was spotlessly clean and offered great value for money.

    Felt like home, no complaints.

    We had a fantastic stay at this cosy Railway Pod. The evening sun on the veranda was lovely, and we enjoyed the little private garden with the hammock, picnic table, and BBQ. The pod was well-equipped with tea/coffee, milk, and jam, as well as towels and shower gel provided. The hard stand parking was convenient, and the location, although isolated, was not remote. The tranquil surroundings on what seemed to be a working farm gave us a sense of privacy. The owners went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, including complimentary milk and pain au chocolate for our first morning's breakfast. The decor was nice, and the pod was clean and spacious. It was the perfect place for a family glamping trip, allowing us to make our own meals and enjoy the peacefulness of nature.

    Not obvious to find.
