Luxurious, very spacious (apart from small bathroom), quiet and very welcoming. It is still recognisably a Pullman with lots of fine woodwork but it has been extended with sensitivity and is light and roomy. The views are superb and it’s very peaceful. “Hilda” (the manufacturer gave each carriage a woman’s name) is some distance down a private seaside road. Jenny... More

Spent a long weekend in this delightful B&B. It is a unique experience as you are the only guests in a converted Pullman coach. All the mod cons and all the extras (robes/snacks/toiletries etc) that you would find in a swish hotel. Jenny is an amazing host and the breakfasts are simply the best.

We love this place and returned after 2 years away. A unique property directly on the seafront, offering amazing beach access and beautiful views. The feeling of space and tranquility is fantastic, and made moreso by the hospitality provided by Jenny. Delicious breakfasts served overlooking the sea, you can't beat it. The key difference between this and a normal b&b... More

We were fortunate to enjoy perfect weather during our weekend break which enabled us to have very tasty breakfasts outside overlooking the sea. There are great views from the rooms which are very comfortable. We could get very used to the setting, pity it was only for a weekend.

A last-minute break from London turned out to be absolutely perfect! Hilda is a delightful B&B in a wonderfully peaceful location. Jenny made us extremely welcome and we enjoyed walks around Pagham Harbour and along the beach, and relaxing in the exquisitely restored Pullman carriage. Not to mention Jenny's delicious breakfasts! All in all, an unforgettable weekend.

My husband and I have returned from a delightful stay at Hilda in June 2012. I had many holidays here in the 60's and 70's when the property was owned by my grandparents. We were given a very warm welcome from Jenny. It was lovely to find the house being so lovingly and tastefully cared for. My grandmother was a... More

My wife and I have just returned from a great stay and would thoroughly recommend a visit. Great location for a peaceful retreat - we stayed for three nights. Highlights are certainly the breakfasts Jenny is a great cook and very welcoming and Hilda offers great views of the sea. Will certainly be back!

We stayed in Hilda in December 2011 for our wedding anniversary. What a wonderful experience. The views over the sea are just amazing. The accommodation is first class and exceptionally clean. Jenny's breakfasts are exceptional, including both kippers and smoked haddock on the menu. Jenny could not have been more helpful, including giving us the recipes for items she was... More

Although we live in East Sussex we had never explored the Selsey region and in order to experience something a little different for a landmark wedding anniversary we chose "Hilda" hoping that it would give us a taste of a bygone age. It most certainly did and we have just spent 3 wonderful days there. Quite apart from the genuinely... More
