Start your day with a coffee in the driver’s seat and embrace off-grid living, bus-style. Warmed by a wood burner, this eclectic space is surprisingly homely and is perfect for a quirky getaway to the South Coast. After days with your pup in the sea air, fire up the BBQ and then toast marshmallows on the roaring firepit before stepping aboard to drift off.

Tucked away next to the uniformed trees of Castlewood Vineyard, climb aboard and begin your adventure. A country style creates a welcoming bolthole and the window-lined walls let the light into the space so you can get comfortable and unwind. Come rain or shine, stay cosy by the wood burner or the firepit and enjoy date nights like no other with drinks chilled in the thermoelectric cool box. As you doze off, you’ll forget you’re sleeping on a converted 1970s Canadian school bus until you wake and notice the retro fittings around you.

Stay close to home for date nights at the Castlewood Vineyard which sits beneath Musbury Castle (1.5 miles) or treat yourself to a portion of fish and chips at Seaton Beach (4 miles). Before tucking in, spend the day in the salty air and walk a section of the South West Coast Path for magical views of the ocean and surrounding coastline. You’re perfectly positioned for exploring the Jurassic Coast, and Lyme Regis is just 6.5 miles from your bus stop.
