10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
This tiny home is beautifully presented and just as described. We very much appreciated the quiet and the lovely animals too.
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2026
The property was very per friendly, the area is really secure. The bed was also very comfortable. It could do with a bedside lamp so you can read in bed and not have to get up to turn the light off. It wasn't an amazing location. It's right next to a garage and facing a very quiet road. The tiny house is tiny, a bit like a less well thought out caravan but with more windows. Though one side is facing a garage so the windows face a wall that side. It's pretty expensive for what it is. It took 1 1/2 hrs to get there. The lamas were very cute.
