One-Off Feature

Set just 20 metres from the line at a working steam railway station, this MK1 train carriage has been beautifully converted and renovated and now provides an authentic yet contemporary British holiday experience for anyone in search of railway carriage holidays.

General Info

Originally built for British Rail in 1962, the carriage has been sensitively restored into a charming blend of traditional features and modern day comforts. The interiors are cosy and surprisingly spacious, the elevated glass balcony offers wonderful views of the railway line and the surrounding countryside, and nearby there are beaches, seaside towns, historic houses and family attractions aplenty, not to mention a good selection of local pubs and restaurants. This is a truly quirky and memorable holiday rental, one of a collection of railway retreats on this Sussex site.

The Area Surrounding The Property / Accommodation

Within 12 miles of the carriage you will find sandy beaches, bustling piers and historic harbours, and the seaside towns of Hastings, Rye and Tenterden are all worth a visit. Battle Abbey, Sissinghurst Castle, Bodiam Castle and Great Dixter House and Gardens are all within easy reach, and attractions like Hastings Aquarium, Bewl Water, Drusillas Park and Bodiam Boating Station are perfect for family outings and active pursuits. There are two local convenience stores just half a mile away and a larger superstore within a 10 minute drive, or you could sample The White Hart in Newenden or the Indian restaurant 100 yards from your door.
