Texas School Bus – an authentic, beautifully converted American School Bus for a memory-filled and Insta-worthy stay on a welcoming and funky site on the Isle of Wight! Freshly retired from the highways of Houston, Texas School Bus is the iconic split-screen American Yellow School Bus – or ‘Skoolie’ for aficionados – lovingly converted into a truly unique Glamping retreat. Gloriously spacious, there’s plenty to delight couples, families, and groups of friends alike. For starters, you’ll have a proper kitchen to whip up your own school dinners complete with a gas oven, hob, grill, sink, and cooking equipment galore (There’s even a seriously cool fridge freezer, to help you chill those essential holiday tipples!) Enjoy gastronomic delights at the dining table while enjoying the views through the panoramic windows, or outside enjoying a sizzling sunset supper on the barbecue. With toasty underfloor heating and a clean-burning wood stove you’ll be gorgeously snug. There’s a thoughtfully-chosen selection of books and games on board, and if music’s more your thing, remember to bring your Bluetooth speaker and choose your own groove. You could even plonk yourself down in the driver’s seat if you like…with the original cab fully intact, you can travel anywhere your imagination cares to take you! When it’s finally time to turn in, you’ll discover a king-sized John Lewis bed to the rear dressed in Egyptian cotton sheets and a gorgeous duvet. Flanked by windows, you’ll wake up to stunning scenery. If you miss out on claiming this for yourself, you’ll also find two comfy, John Lewis full-sized singles, and a really good sofa bed too. Freshen up with a shower and fluffy towels (there’s even an illuminated mirror and a plug socket for your hairdryer!) then it’s on with the important business of planning your day.

Our buses come equipped with: ✪ Gas oven, hob and grill ✪ Freezer for your G&T ice ✪ Fridge for your Bubbles ✪ Big sink for not-so-exciting bubbles ✪ Lots of storage and surface space ✪ All the tools you need to create a gastronomic extravaganza (or egg 'n' soldiers...) There is also a proper dining table inside and outside, with all the plates, spoons and room for plenty of elbows. Books, games, updating your Insta, a glass of Chateau Fallover, the best G&T - whatever your chill is, get comfy and gaze at the view through all the panoramic windows. Open the doors and windows and enjoy the breeze. Bring your speaker and drift where your sounds take you…or be twelve again, sitting in the driver's seat making bus noises with all the original buttons and stuff around you. During cooler months you can enjoy the underfloor heating and why not fire up the clean-burning wood stove for year-round toasty toes, and curl up with soft cushions and cosy throws. Sleep well, sleep happy, sleep in comfort. To the rear is a king-sized John Lewis bed with Egyptian Cotton sheets, pillows, a great duvet, and beautiful views on three sides. There are two further same spec full-size single beds, and a lovely sofa-bed. There’s lots of storage for all your socks and stuff. When fighting for the king-size bed, please do it quietly… There’s lovely lighting inside and out, blinds all round for privacy, 240v Sockets to charge all your i-Stuff - including one actually near an illuminated mirror! Also a proper shower and fluffy towels. Sublime... You can also chill or whoop it up at the garden table - gazing at sunrises and sunsets and a billion stars, or at the mesmerising Fire-Pit with a hot tea or cool beer, and BBQ like a legend.
