A unique Cumbrian pub, which offers fine dining in a vintage railway carriage, is up for sale for £750,000.
The Hound Inn, at Arlecdon, is on the market with Meridian Business Sales, after its landlords decided to move on because of “family commitments”.
Its restaurant is housed in a 1954 railway carriage, installed in its grounds in 2000.
The 37-ton coach, named Orchid, played a part in British political history when it was used to carry the body of Lord Mountbatten – killed by an IRA bomb – from Waterloo to Romsey in 1979 as a Royal Train.
The 42-seater open coach was designed for first class passengers when it was built in Doncaster in 1955.
