In the UK, a Victorian carriage has been transformed into a hotel: how the accommodation looks.

Unique stay in a Victorian carriage

According to The Sun: For those looking for unusual places to stay, take a look at this converted Victorian carriage offering stunning sea views.

Located in the 'unique desert of the UK', Sunray by Bloom Stays is a former passenger carriage now situated on Dungeness beach.

Overview of the interior space

The carriage includes three bedrooms that can accommodate up to eight people.

“When the railway line to Dungeness closed in 1937, some fishermen began using old carriages as shelters and homes.”

“The three-bedroom Sunray integrates one of these carriages in a special way, utilizing arch ceilings and cladding while combining them with a commercial kitchen.”

A spacious living room with French doors opens onto the gravel beach, and the carriage is also pet-friendly, so your four-legged friend can travel with you.

Amenities and interior features

Inside, there is a large open space with original carriage elements where families can relax on a double sofa or spend time in the lounge, watching television on comfortable sofas and armchairs.

The dining area overlooks the sea and is equipped with a wooden table and fireplace. The kitchen is located at the other end of the carriage, providing fun opportunities while cooking.

Two bedrooms are designed for two people, while one room accommodates four with comfortable bunk beds for kids.

Enjoy nature while vacationing

In nice weather, guests can enjoy a large terrace with garden furniture overlooking the endless beach. Although the carriage dates back to the 19th century, it is equipped with everything needed for modern comfort, including Wi-Fi, electric heating, a hairdryer, and running water.

For those wanting to unwind without technology, there are plenty of board games, children's toys, and books.

To add a special touch, guests may be served freshly baked bread rolls, pastries, and beer from the local Dockers Bakery.

“The bungalow is beautifully decorated, with a unique and original style that perfectly reflects the place.”

“The remote location is incredibly relaxing, and the view of the pebble beach (and the Dungeness nuclear power stations!) is simply stunning.”

The carriage is located on Dungeness land, known for its large pebble beach, often referred to as 'the only desert in the UK' due to its desolate environment and dry microclimate.

Although the meteorological bureau officially denied this in 2015, stating that the location does not meet the criteria for desert classification.

Guests can also travel on miniature steam trains connecting Hythe, New Romney, and Dymchurch.

Bloom Stays recommends visiting the famous Snack Shack at Dungeness Fish Hut - a cozy place that often prepares the daily catch.

It is worth noting that a stay at Sunray does not come cheap - the cost is approximately £1,015 for two nights (the minimum stay).

Dungeness is often referred to as 'the only desert in the UK' due to its desolate landscape and microclimate.
