Pipe Dream

Northiam, East Sussex, England

Converted pipe wagon offers a spacious and stylish accommodation overlooking the steam railway at Northiam and surrounding Rother Valley.

The Quirky Tour

I was really impressed immediately by the clean, modern and fresh interior of the carriage. No clutter, clean lines.
Check out the steam train times or you can enjoy train journeys to coastal towns. There is a watersport centre on the river closeby and plenty to do in all directions.
A great escape for couples or families with an outside area with picnic table al fresco dining.
