The straw bale cottage is rustic and constructed from recyclable materials, and is definitely an unusual building.
My partner Nic enjoyed the house, however I found it a little too "rustic" for my tastes. Unfortunately Forrest may also be the Bermuda Triangle of mozzies, as they seemed to be in limitless supply, and we spent most of our evening inside the house rather than in the garden under the stars.
The oversized bathtub (extra deep!) in the bathroom added a nice touch to the house, and the bed in the upstairs loft was firm and comfortable.
