Unique Proposal for Bed and Breakfast Experience on Double Decker Bus in Portrush

Portrush, known for its stunning beaches and vibrant atmosphere, may soon offer an extraordinary accommodation experience for its visitors. A novel proposal has been put forward that could transform a double-decker bus into a delightful Airbnb. If approved by planners, this innovative concept would provide an unparalleled opportunity for tourists seeking a truly unique place to stay.

The proposed location for the converted bus-turned-accommodation is Castle Erin Road, which offers breathtaking views of Portrush's renowned West Strand. The picturesque setting and the distinctive charm of staying in a revamped bus would undoubtedly make for an unforgettable vacation.

According to plans submitted to Causeway Coast and Glens Council, the bus's upper deck would house cosy bedrooms and a well-equipped shower area. Downstairs, on the lower deck, guests would have access to a comfortable lounge area and a compact kitchenette. This thoughtfully designed layout maximises comfort and functionality within the limited space available.

Should this imaginative proposal receive the necessary approval, Portrush would add another fascinating option to its diverse range of accommodations. From traditional guesthouses to modern hotels, the town has always strived to cater to its visitors' eclectic tastes and preferences. Introducing an Airbnb on a double-decker bus would undoubtedly inject a touch of whimsy and adventure into the local tourism scene.

This distinctive concept offers a novel place to stay and contributes to the preservation and repurposing of a nostalgic piece of transportation history. By transforming a bus into a temporary holiday haven, the proposal adds an element of sustainability and creativity to the region's tourism industry.

The application will be heard by Council's planning committee later this year.
