Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway.Our Ammunition Wagon was built for the War Department in the closing years of the Second World War. It was used to convey military ammunition and explosives, an extremely dangerous cargo to carry in a wooden wagon behind a hard-working steam engine sending out sparks…
Such wagons would have been particularly in need in the preparations for the D-Day landings in Normandy in 1944, and many British and American-built wagons and other rolling stock followed the first wave of troops over to France to assist with the Allies’ advance towards Berlin.
These days, the Ammunition Wagon offers a much safer and calmer environment for your stay. It includes a double bed, sofa, TV, en-suite shower room/WC, microwave, fridge, multiple power sockets and heating for those chilly winter months. Outside you will find an individual private garden with outdoor seating and a BBQ (bring your own charcoal!), offering a great place to relax over looking the steam railway and surrounding Rother Valley.
The Ammunition Wagon sleeps two adults, plus two on the sofa bed, with allocated parking directly outside.

Make some memories at this unique and family-friendly place.Up to now, we have created our holiday homes to be very true to the original designs of our historic wagons and carriages.

Sleeping up to four (two adults and two children under 12), Pipe Dream is fully equipped and comes complete with a panoramic view across the Rother Valley to Kent and an outdoor area for barbecues and listening to the trains go by…
Pipe Dream includes a double bedroom, bunk bedroom, shower room/WC, full kitchen with sink, oven, hob, fridge, kettle & toaster. Lounge area with TV, sofa and dining table.
