Details

The Wild Atlantic bus is hosted by Richard, who lives in a cottage nearby. The bus in now in its final resting place, after 28 years of transporting people across England and Ireland.

The bus is nestled among nature on the outskirts of Oughterard County Galway in western Ireland. This location close to Connemara National Park makes it a great place to explore nature and the delights of the Wild Atlantic Way, one of the longest coastal roads in the world.

The lovely double decker green bus accommodated six comfortably across three double beds, two of which which can be split up and used as twin beds. There is a delightfully cosy wood-burning stove, a full kitchen and a wet room.

The bus is furnished in a modern, cosy style and there is a fire pit outside so you can enjoy conversations late into the night surrounded by nature.

For those with a penchant for fishing, the nearby Lough Corrib offers one one of the last remaining native brown trout lakes in Europe. For those that aren't looking to hunt their own supper, the town of Oughterard nearby has plenty of restaurtants and traditional Irish pubs to enjoy.

The bus sleeps up to six people and is around £294* a night. There is also a two-night minimum stay, so divided between six its £98* per person or £588 total for a two-night weekend stay. Pricey to be sure, but definitely an unforgettable experience.
