  • Totally off grid with stunning views and peace
Enjoy the sounds of nature when you stay at The Bus on the Hill, a unique place with views for miles and miles stretched out in front of you and where the only sound you will hear are birds singing and farmers at work in the distance. As this is a place to recharge, it is totally off-grid, being solar-powered and with natural underground spring water; the unit is fully-equipped with wood-burning stove and vintage caravan cooker, mini fridge and microwave. After a short walk up the road, you can visit the roman road at Bampton Down, which also has the most stunning views across to Exmoor. The site is s et amongst the rolling hills of Devon with far reaching views yet within only twenty minutes of the M5 so you can enjoy total peace and seclusion in this mind-blowing spot where you can chill and relax.
