Story
How it all started
In 2015, we diversified our farm to support two families and share the beauty of East Lothian with visitors. After exploring different holiday accommodation ideas, we realised the answer was right in front of us — our old grain shed. Years of renting it to a bus renovation club inspired what became The Bus Stop.
All family members welcomed
