The Lowe Comotion

A charmingly restored vintage train carriage with first class family accommodation, stopped in its very own ‘station' amongst picture-perfect West Sussex countryside.

Hop aboard Lowe Comotion to experience all the thrill and excitement of a railway journey in a first-class carriage, as you savour exquisite country scenery that doesn't whizz by in a blur!

Nestled in the peaceful Chichester settlement of Batchmere, you'll feel as though you've spirited your loved ones away to a deliciously ‘secret' place, where you can relax and reconnect in cosy comfort.

Certainly, your accommodation couldn't be lovelier. Soft, soothing vintage décor and quirky train signage will make you feel as though you're stepping into an elegant time capsule, yet there are plenty of modern touches to make holiday life that bit easier!

Accented by natural wood and light that streams in through a row of windows, the ‘First Class' living space features a glowing log burner, and a squishy sofa that cleverly transforms into single children's bunk beds by evening.  

There's also a dining table and chairs, perfectly positioned by the windows, and an impossibly cute kitchenette, equipped with a kettle, a toaster, and that all-important microwave.

Head to the middle of the carriage to discover a luxurious, full-sized private bathroom with a vintage bathtub and a stack of fluffy towels, for an indulgent soak after a long day exploring the countryside.

Once you've settled in, why not spend some time nursing a steaming cuppa in the ‘station', a lush, spacious yard and patio furnished with comfy seating, and a barbecue for sizzling sunset suppers?  

Chat the evening away, surrounded by nothing but the relaxing sights and sounds of the countryside, until the stars start to twinkle in the night sky... what bliss!

When you're finally finished talking and laughing with your loved ones, simply head for your cosy sleeper compartment, which features a downy, sumptuously dressed double bed with a vintage headboard.

After morning coffee and a hearty breakfast enjoyed al fresco, the day is all yours to enjoy! There's no rush, so you could simply bury your head in that book you never quite find time for at home, or watch the kids indulge their imaginations with games in the yard.

If you feel like exploring, there are plenty of fresh country walks that begin right from the ‘station', or how about heading for the windswept coast, instead? The beaches at Selsey, East Wittering, and Bracklesham Bay are all close by.

You could also get lost in the charms of the natural world, with a visit to Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve, before making your way back to your charming carriage for another gorgeously relaxed evening in.
