The space

Inside, the bus has been transformed to a high standard with surprisingly spacious interiors. Downstairs, you'll find the original driver's seat and steering wheel preserved in the front cabin, adding a nostalgic touch to your stay.

The bespoke solid wood kitchen is fully equipped with solid oak worktops, a Belfast-style sink, gas cooker with extractor and fridge freezer.

Clever storage has been built into the original buggy rack spaces above the front wheels, keeping everything tidy and functional.

Further down the lower deck is the well-appointed bathroom area, featuring a thermostatic rainforest shower with an additional hose attachment, a flushable macerator toilet, and a sink.

The bus is fully plumbed with a pressurised 1000-litre water system, an easy-access hosepipe connection outside, and a water heater with a programmable timer.

Upstairs, the space opens into a warm and inviting living area, with a comfortable sofa, wall-mounted smart TV, and Wi-Fi throughout.

The front of the upper deck features a bespoke king-size bed positioned perfectly beneath panoramic windows - ideal for relaxing with a view.

Just below is a cosy den space with a futon mattress, perfect for kids or extra guests. At the rear, you’ll find the master bedroom with a handcrafted superking bed, original emergency escape hatch, and plenty of storage.

The upstairs area also benefits from an air conditioning unit with heating, cooling, and dehumidifier settings, while all windows have privacy blinds and curtains.

Ceiling lighting runs on a rechargeable leisure battery for added flexibility.

Outside, a private enclosed garden awaits, with a lawn and raised decking area equipped with outdoor seating - perfect for peaceful mornings or evenings under the stars. There is also a shared treehouse room you are welcome to use and a children's slide.

This one-of-a-kind stay offers the ideal mix of countryside calm and quirky character, whether you're looking for a family getaway, a romantic escape, or just something totally unique.

Come unwind, recharge, and make memories aboard this unforgettable rural hideaway.

Please note this property is located in a rural setting, so from time to time, you may notice the occasional spider web, even shortly after cleaning. We do our best to keep the space spotless, but nature has its own schedule.

Please note when it comes to using the shared treehouse, please be mindful of neighbours and other guests on-site. Please note use of the shared treehouse space and children's slide is at the user's risk.

Nice quirky place to stay for a few nights, the kids loved it! Lots of games and TV for chilling out too. Great garden area although no box for the outdoor cushions so these were soaked which meant we couldn’t relax in the outside area.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was perfect for our 10 year old autistic son. He loved the hammock and the trampoline and it was a safe secure garden for him and our dog. Our 13 year old loved that he was staying on a bus! Beautiful walks right on the doorstep. Thank you to the hosts!

The bus stop was excellent overall, with a couple of niggles. All minor issues, and we would 100% come back.

Throughly enjoyed our stay at The Bus Stop. Team were very helpful in whatever we needed. Even offered us the house nearby as we arrived in the June heat wave, in case we were too hot. Very unique, the kids (preteens) loved it, and the quirky nature of it all.

We have just returned from a lovely weekend at the Bus stop. It is in a lovely location, accessed by a country lane with a couple of countryside pubs nearby. The place is well equipped with everything you would need for a long weekend. The shower is lovely, the beds felt clean along with the towels.

Such an amazing place, me and 4 friends came for a weekend away and had the best time. The beds were spacious and clean and the kitchen was highly usable. Bbq and hammock outside are big bonuses. The location is phenomenal and I would love to visit again.
