This unique accommodation, built from an old pipe wagon, and now a stylish and family friendly place to stay, right next to Northiam Steam Train Station, on the Kent & East Sussex Railway line. The perfect place for anyone in search of railway carriage holidays.
Pipe Dream is a unique construct - the base of an old rusty pipe wagon, built on a brand new home from home. It’s in an unforgettable setting with real steam trains pulling up just a few feet away, and the beautiful Rother Valley countryside all around you, with beaches, seaside towns, historic houses and family attractions all within a short drive. One of a collection of characterful railway retreats on the same site.
The lovely beaches at Camber Sands and Hastings are a short drive away from the property, as is the characterful waterfront at Rye Harbour, and historic attractions like Battle Abbey, Great Dixter House and Gardens, Bodiam Castle and Sissinghurst Castle are well worth a visit. Children will be in heaven at the Blue Reef Aquarium, Drusillas Park and the Smugglers Adventure museum, and there are outdoor pursuits galore at Bedgebury Pinetum, Bewl Water and Bodiam Boating Station. Alternatively you can relax with some food at the White Hart pub, the Lime Wharf Café or the Indian restaurant just 100 yards from the carriage. There’s something for everyone in this lovely corner of East Sussex.
