This railway cottage has been built around the old carriage that was taken off the tracks in 1930. The carriage used to be part of the train that ran along the south coast down to Folkstone. The owner has created a unique holiday home with ample space, including five double bedrooms, a single bedroom, three bathrooms, two full kitchens and a lovely dining area that leads out onto a large patio with outdoor table tennis and lots of outdoor seating. Byeways is perfect for a large family, couple of families or a group looking for plenty of space and room so to not feel on top of each other.

Byways was simply wonderful. A totally quirky, comfortable and curious place to stay. So spacious, it surprised us! Great for friends or a big familly get together. We loved all the train detailing, the old carriage walls with beautiful inlay. And the secret bedroom. Outside was equally spacious, lots of seating in the garden, and a great table tennis table, that became a source of huge fun. The proximity to the beach was lovely, and we walked by the sea every eve looking at all the quirky houses! The Lifeboat pub was great for food. The local Fish and chip shop was a top choice for crispy fish and chips. Delicious. We will return.!
