Welcome to Debdale Bus, a truly unique luxury retreat set in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside. Once my actual school bus, this iconic double-decker has been lovingly transformed into a boutique holiday home and was even featured on TV during its remarkable conversion. Designed to sleep up to four guests, the bus combines its original character with modern comforts, including a fully equipped kitchen, stylish living area, comfortable bedrooms, modern shower room and everything you need for a relaxing stay. Outside, you'll enjoy your own private, fully enclosed garden with a heated hot tub, outdoor seating and beautiful countryside views. Our friendly free-roaming alpacas often wander over to the fence to say hello, making your stay even more memorable. Located just 10 minutes from Rutland Water and with the Rutland Round on the doorstep, Debdale Bus is the perfect base for walkers, cyclists, nature lovers and anyone looking for a peaceful escape. Explore picturesque villages, local pubs and scenic countryside before returning to relax under the stars in your private hot tub.
