    What a fantastic place for a short break! We experienced a beautiful part of the country, escaped from the world for a week and my boys (10&14) thoroughly enjoyed the time on the bus and exploring the local Moores.

    Nothing really. Just go prepared for the weather. Cold this Oct so we took throws and a hot water bottle …only needed when the very efficient wood burner died down at night.

    Location/viewssuperb. Concept …brilliant. We loved the experience of living so close to nature - like glamping but better! Hosts Ian and Sarah have thought of everything …including delish fresh eggs from their hens.

    I think it was expensive for the level of amenities. Running water to wash hands at the toilet would be nice, and a roof over the picnic table so you can sit outside (it rains every day in Devon)

    Quiet location

    Just remember it's a bus so facilities are limited. It all worked well but don't expect a luxury hotel and you won't be disappointed.

    It's a really novel and interesting place to stay. Quiet and peaceful. I loved just sitting and keeping the wood arrive burning while reading a good book. The owners were really friendly and were always there to help if needed but have us or space too.

    Toilet facilities, no light in there apart from the torch light. Walk down to the toilet in the dark.

    The Location was perfect, peaceful and relaxing listening to the birds. The Megabus was comfortable clean and well equipped for cooking. Unfortunately we were unable to use the oven due to owners awaiting a part to fix it. Had a barbecue and seating area beside the bus. The owners could be contacted easily and were very friendly and lovely people.

    Not good it was double booked wrecked our holiday

    We booked the Mega Bus for two nights as a girls weekend away. But was very disappointed on the second evening when the owner approached us outside while we were trying to relax to say he was very sorry but the Mega Bus had been double booked. That he had it advertised on two websites and a couple had booked it that day. When we had returned from our afternoon out earlier in the day we noticed there was a transporter van parked right near the mega bus. We had wondered why this was. Turns out the owner had said this couple could stay in it until we left the next day. We felt very uncomfortable with this because it would mean we would have to share our facilities with them, also there was not even a lock on them. The reason why we booked the Mega Bus in the first place was because it was secluded. Which as a girls weekend we thought it was perfect as we wouldn't disturb other people with laughter and noise. The couple also had a young baby. So we made the decision to leave that night as we just did not feel comfortable. As we were worried we were going to disturb them and they were worried they were gonna disturb us. Also I didn't think it was very good that the owners allotment was right by us too. So wasn't private as he came up to go into his allotment during our stay.

    That it was well equipped and clean.

    Nice to be off grid but furnishings need a little up dating

    New furnishings, or duvet covers - all a bit worn! Think the buses door should be open to the little outside! Could convert a bit more and add a toilet!

    The bus almost had everything that you needed but i cant get my head around that you have an inside shower but no loo! The grass wasn't cut around the outside loo so got wet every time ! Inside was a bit damp or cold too the touch. Could update furnishings! Wasn't easy to find ! Bit pricey - we thought !

    Didn't like it when it was time to leave!

    Everything really! The location and views are fantastic. The bus is unique and a special place to stay, eclectic and also so well thought through with everything that's provided, from washing up liquid, to fire lighters, towels, bedding, and outdoor seats and picnic table with large umbrella, and a fab fire pit. We had such a great time, and felt so chilled out, being off grid, and listening to all the bird song. It's also great for accessing a whole range of places, local facilities, shops, etc and attractions.

    No mains electricity. I needed power for my CPAP machine but no mains power. This should have been made clear on promotional information, would not have booked if known as this seriously affected my sleep. Also my wife unable to use her hair dryer which was a bit of an issue for her Mattress on bed very poor quality, basic. Cleanliness of accommodation not the best, superficially clean only.

    Location was fine, bus was fairly roomy. Nice and quiet.
