A repurposed train carriage, this neat cabin near the Cotswolds town of Cirencester is perfect for a few days out in the country. The cabin aesthetic is a nice touch, and we were fond of the deck overlooking a donkey paddock – a great spot for supper after an afternoon hike. As with the rest of the home, the bathroom is small but has everything you need to freshen up. We think the home is also suitable for remote working, although on rainy or cold days that'll involve working on the sofa.
