The Prince Regent Showman's Carriage, a holiday retreat in Sussex looks over to Bodiam Castle and is located in the Bodiam Valley in East Sussex. It is a completely unique and a couples only holiday retreat. Located in 1066 country close to the Kent border, in 200 acres of farmland and orchards there are plenty of country walks and local villages to visit during your stay.

The immediate surroundings include well kept extensive lawns and borders with seating and croquet for your pleasure. The carriage is available to rent from late March to the end of October. We offer 3 night weekend breaks from a Friday to Sunday or 4 night mid week breaks from Monday to Friday morning. Inside: The carriage was originally built in 1894 as a fairground owners home which toured in the West Country and has been lovingly preserved by the present owners to include beautiful mahogany woodwork and crystal ornate mirrors. The inside is cosy with seating for 2 in front of a vintage tiled fireplace with imitation log burner. There are plenty of home comforts, books, ornaments, TV, DVD and Hi Fi. To one end of the carriage is the bedroom with a fixed raised bed. The bed is smaller than a normal double but this adds to the romantic feel! White lace bedlinen and painted woodwork make this a truly cosy hideaway.

The decking area has outside seating with comfortable wicker chairs and a table for a relaxing breakfast or evening glass of wine!
