Catherine is an amazing woman who has built her own eco-house and separate room for guests. Just so you know, there are compost toilets (no water...you use sawdust), and you do your washing up in a room out the back door which is a small garage. But it's all well contained, very clean, with wood floors. The bedroom is amazingly warm. ....Regardless of you eco-experience, I'd encourage you to stay there. It's a fascinating learning experience and the room is well stocked with kitchenware to do some good cooking. The bed is very comfy and the tap water there is *fantastic*. Take some bottles to stock up! Catherine is lovely and very accommodating and offers use of her toilet (still a compost but in a proper bathroom) for those who are a little shy. Very inspiring place to stay to see how we might learn to live more in harmony with nature while still being perfectly comfortable :)
