Double-Decker Holiday Homes

This Double-Decker Bus Has Been Made Over into a Cozy Country Retreat

Located in the idyllic English countryside, this repurposed double-decker bus has been made over into a comfortable holiday home.

The 'Besty Blue' is made from a 1981 'Leyland Atlantean' double-decker bus that was originally bought online by Andrew Powis to take his family on a European road trip. After some years without using the bus for its intended purpose, Powis decided to convert it into a luxurious country retreat with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay.

The heated two-storey bus features three bedrooms on the top floor with the bottom floor also housing a fully equipped kitchen and dining area. An adjacent bathroom with shower and toilet is also included, and finally an outdoor garden and patio space also has a hot tub perfect for relaxing outside and enjoying the beautiful countryside view.
