This turned out to be a perfect Winter getaway. Feels private and safe. Lots of charming details delighted my young son (who is obsessed with houses on wheels). He loved the double-storey layout and playing 'bus driver' at the cab. Curious ducks wandering in from the glen aded to the charm. The bus served all our needs. The log burner warmed us quickly and I even did some cooking on it (but there's a gas stove, too). Gerry thoughtfully left us some new bread, milk and tinned food. The hot shower was almost transcendent at the end of every cold blustery day.
The composting toilet needs to be emptied into the sewage pipe next to the main house. It's not a big deal, as there was hardly any smell. Just make sure you empty it before it fills up halfway, or it will be too heavy to carry. My son, being the age that he is, was fascinated by all things scatological. He was grossed out but intrigued at the same time, so it was all good.
My son's turn to give feedback: "I love the folding out bed couch. The cab was fun. The trampoline and balls were great."
