My name is Richard and welcome to the Wild Atlantic Bus. I have transformed this 28 year old double decker bus after its life’s work
transporting people around England and Ireland into a unique holiday and
accommodation experience. Over the years I have transformed many beautiful VW Campers, but the bus has been my biggest project to date. Visit my regularly updated gallery to follow the restoration from beginning to end.
The bus is located on the outskirts of Oughterard, County
Galway in the heart of nature near my country
cottage and only a five minute walk down a country lane to the famous Lough Corrib, one of the last remaining native brown trout lakes in Europe.
Oughterard is well known as the gateway to Connemara which forms a major part of the Wild
Atlantic Way, the largest coastal route in Europe. On the doorstep of the Wild Atlantic Bus you
have an abundance of beautiful and scenic walks and our bus is located on the
Western Way which starts in Oughterard and ends in the beautiful town of
Ballina Co Mayo.
Oughterard is the local town and a five minute drive from
the Wild Atlantic Bus or a twenty minute walk. There are numerous shops, many
lovely pubs with traditional Irish music and a great range of restaurants and
places to eat. Galway city is thirty
minutes away and should not be missed! The Wild Atlantic Bus is perfectly
located for exploring this part of the country and staying with us will give
you a new and unique experience. I am sure you will leave with happy
memories of your stay.
