About The Glamping Coach at Bodiam Station
Tucked alongside the historic Bodiam Station, this quirky glamping retreat occupies a lovingly restored railway carriage with sweeping views over East Sussex countryside and the turrets of Bodiam Castle. Families appreciate the unique setting and thoughtful touches—showers, toilets, and WiFi are all on hand—while the peaceful rural location makes it easy to switch off. The carriage itself feels genuinely special, blending nostalgia with comfort.
Note that pets aren't allowed, so you'll need to leave four-legged friends at home. But for families seeking something a little different—a base that's both memorable and practical—this railway hideaway delivers charm by the bucketload.

What visitors say
What a wonderful discovery! Came across this be chance on social media and as I’ve always wanted to stay in a converted coach it was a must to book especially as it was during the Kent and East Sussex railway diesel gala! Home from home accommodation that is very clean and comfortable with outstanding wifi ! A wonderful deck area to enjoy the stunning rural views and a handy viewing area of the platform of Bodiam station. Very comfortable beds and great showers but the very best part of this experience was the host,who simply could not do enough for you and it was very reassuring to know I had help if required as I was on my own for two night of the stay as this is very rural and incredibly quiet. Very handy for the castle and the railway .. highly recommend! Cannot wait to return .

This is an amazing place to stay in. An old train coach lovingly restored and converted into a comfy fully furnished two bedroom home away from home. Nestled behind Bodiam train station it is in a prime position to view the old trains that arrive here several times a day on the KSER line. Around the other side of the coach are wonderful views across the countryside. Peaceful, clean, comfortable and quirky. Bryan will ensure that your stay is perfect from beginning to end. A good pub that serves food and also a cafe for breakfast or lunch are literally a 5 minute walk. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!!

Absolutely wonderful place to stay! We spent my birthday weekend at the carriage and have had a fabulous time - watching the trains from the decking, listening to the birds, star spotting at night - even live music when the Ale Train arrived one evening! We all had a brilliant time and I can’t recommend it enough - family and friends who visited were so impressed. The carriage is great inside with everything you need - we were made to feel like part of a big family with KESR and will definitely be back! Thank you so much Bryan!

Amazing time staying in a railway carriage right next to the station. You can see beautiful steam trains whilst supping your tea.
