A fabulous idea, but read the manual thoroughly. A great escape if you enjoy absolute back to basics. Luckily we took our own candles and lighter because none were provided. The compost toilet was a nightmare as it didn't function as it should, and as far as cleaning up after yourselves, as in the house rules, nothing was provided, so how did the previous guests do this? Tara was a very gracious host who understood our early departure. Thanks..
