Furthermore, take time out for you, relax and retreat from the world in your own private wood fired hot tub on your private decking area. With a variety of activities to enjoy in and around the surrounding area, The Bus Stop offers an ideal opportunity to spend your days cooking on your BBQ, exploring the farm, relaxing at our remote pond and walking the local trails.

Do you know the difference between our luxury buses? We have three! 🚌

Luxury Bus 1 is the perfect couples getaway. Deluxe king sized bed, bubbling hot tub and views of the rolling Lammermuir hills.

Luxury Bus 2 sleeps two adults and two children. Bunk beds, private garden and al fresco kitchen. As well as, a toasty hot tub and the same panoramic hill view.

Luxury Bus 3 sleeps six people in two king sized beds and a set of bunk beds - so you can bring grandparents along too! We’ve extended this bus to provide a large bathroom with a luxurious waterfall shower. Not to forget a family sized hot tub and fire pit for toasting marshmallows!

Before and after: The hebs have had a haircut! ✂️

Their fleeces have a double layer for extra warmth in the colder Scottish climes so it’s certainly a relief when the shearer comes to visit! Our Hebridean sheep are a friendly lot and love attention/to be fed by bus visitors!

Green season. The bus gardens are flourishing with the warm weather and occasional downpours have provided a little relief both for the soil and us humans!

A tub to take all fancies 🛀
A cool plunge pool in Scottish midsummer or (my favourite) a toasty soak on a clear, star filled, frosty night. Sunrise is of course a pretty special view too and a wonderful start to a peaceful day, which do you prefer?

All of our buses have their own private hot tub for you to enjoy!

Our bottle fed lambs won’t be needing formula for much longer. They are getting bigger by the day and enjoying the freedom of their paddocks. We’ve had all of our sheep in for a check up and vaccinations over the last week - under the close supervision of Bonny the collie!

We will soon be moving them on to strip graze cover crops as part of our regenerative farming approach 🌾

World environment day 🌎

Our wonderful planet and open green spaces are of utmost importance to us at The Bus Stop, both in our regenerative farming practices and in providing off-grid stays at our Eco-friendly site. Wonderfully we are noticing more and more wild flowers and animals!

Easter Weekend - A time to slow down, soak in the spring air, enjoy the extra hours of sunshine and indulge in some sweet treats!

At the farm the gorse is blooming, sowing is underway and we’re patiently awaiting the arrivals of our Pygmy goat kids and sprightly lambs 🐑 Not to mention the bustle of our Eco buses up and running for 2024, we hope to see you soon!

Choosing between our Luxury or Eco-friendly site?

Our Luxury buses are fully equipped with electricity, heating and private kitchen/bathroom. Although the exterior is obviously a bus, once inside all of the home comforts you could require are at your fingertips! Breathtaking views of the Lammermuir hills ensure you won’t want to venture too far!

Our Eco buses focus on a return to nature and enjoyment of slow, simple pleasures with the buses positioned driving out of our woodland, surrounded by wildlife. These buses retain many of the features that will be familiar to you, with headboards made of bus seats, stop buttons, handle rails and drivers seat remaining - hours of fun for children (big and small)! The Eco buses do not have power but are heated by a toasty wood burning stove. The communal kitchen bus is solar powered and the upper deck provides diner style seating!

All buses on both sites have their own hot tub and private garden area! 🛁
