Very nice bus but wish we had known that it was not suitable for anyone with mobility issues also anyone over 6 ft tall.The bus is on a busy noisy road and parking was difficult as had to cross this road which was on a steep hill.The bus was not as big as we thought and storage was a problem in such a small space..Unfortunately we left early.Simply just not for us.

Wow, where do I start? The Phoenix Star Bus is an exceptionally beautiful getaway in the perfect location. The bus has been gorgeously renovated, and my two children thought it was the best holiday ever!We stayed for my daughter's birthday, and the owner went above and beyond by putting up bunting, leaving her a lovely card and a little gift. It was such a thoughtful touch and made her day extra special.You can really see how much love and care has gone into this unique accommodation. There are so many thoughtful details throughout the bus, from the luxury shower gel and welcome pack to the toilet rolls, water bottles in the fridge, washing-up liquid, and even the hot tub being ready to use on arrival. Everything you could possibly need has been provided.The location was fantastic too, with beautiful beaches, piers, forests, and theme parks all within easy reach.I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend – we can't wait to come back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
