We had a lovely stay at the bus! Great hosts met us on the driveway and made sure we found the bus ok. A few things were missing that would have made our stay excellent like coffee mugs, but otherwise it was well fit out. Could have used a better clean in some corners. Overall we were really pleased with our stay, and the price couldn’t be beaten.
