Ballinadee Bus Eile

Come and stay with us on our beautiful converted double decker bus. After the success of our first bus we decided to add another double decker to our fleet. This bus came all the way from Edinburgh originally. It was transported to County Down and then travelled from Northern Ireland to the Ballinadee where it now resides in our yard.

Wake up to fresh air and panoramic valley views. Enjoy access to your own wood burning hot tub surround by greenery and our rescue farm animals or just let yourself enjoy all our personalised touches we've made for you. With WiFi, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a space that will comfortably sleep six adults let yourself get immersed in our amazing space. Whether for a romantic getaway, family vacation or celebration with friends and family.

“Ballinadee bus is a special place, a true gem. We loved our night there and should we return we will bring all our friends. It’s a great way to enjoy the Irish countryside and Irish hospitality. Such a unique find. We felt so lucky to stay there. We picked up fresh eggs, strawberries and milk from the farm down the road for our breakfast on the bus. Truly magical place. Best hosts I have ever stayed with.”

“This was our first trip to Ireland, and I can positively say that it was one of our most lovely countryside getaways. The McCarthy’s were the most gracious hosts; they took care of our every need and we could not have felt more welcome. The communication before and during our stay was efficient and prompt. Most importantly, the bus was cozy and well-equipped for a comfortable stay - truly a labor of love! Definitely MUST come if you’re looking for a healing countryside getaway!”

“I’d live here if I could!😂 Thomas’s communication was amazing, such a lovely man! The bus was absolutely fantastic, I shouldn’t say it but they should really be charging higher because there’s so much included! An Xbox, jacuzzi, two TVs with DVDs, it can sleep up to six - and so much more! We really loved staying here and can’t wait to be back again 😊 Everything was so unique, clean and perfect !”

“Great experience in a beautiful and well placed location. Close to the wonderful town of Kinsale yet the feeling of being so far from everything. The bus was great, quirky and comfy and the coffee truck had some delicious treats! I look forward to seeing how they progress in the future and would have no problem returning in the future.”
