Stay in a converted American school bus with a private hot tub beneath the South Downs.
If you’re searching for unique glamping in Sussex or unusual accommodation in Sussex near the South Downs, Skoolie Stays offers something genuinely different.
Hidden in a private meadow beneath the South Downs, our converted American school bus combines quirky design, countryside views and a private wood-fired hot tub beneath the oak trees — a truly unusual countryside stay.
Skoolie Stays began life as a classic American school bus before being carefully transformed into a cosy countryside retreat.
Inside you’ll find warm wood interiors, comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen and large windows looking out across the meadow.


Just steps from the bus sits your private wood-fired hot tub sited in a magical Sussex spot, beneath a mature oak tree.
Guests often spend evenings soaking under the stars, listening to owls and watching the sky darken over the South Downs.
• Private meadow setting
• No neighbours nearby
• Minutes from South Downs walks
• Firepit and outdoor seating
• Converted American school bus interior
The Skoolie blends the fun of unusual accommodation with the comforts you’d expect from a countryside retreat.
