We loved this place. My daughters and I stayed here for two nights, to be ready nice and early for a local wedding and to crash out afterwards. Wendy and her accommodation did not disappoint. She was most welcoming, made us feel at-home straight away and certainly seems very well connected around the neighbourhood!

The 'boathouse' is a one-room affair, with plenty of light, whilst pretty thick curtains means the light isn't too intrusive in the early morning. The main bed is high and very comfortable and cosy, yet there's a Zed bed and a chaise longue (for smaller occupants under 10!).

Outside, it really is best to see the photos, with the open decking looking over the canal (I think it's a canal) and the lake beyond, and lovely woodland all around. Very peaceful and on both mornings we were able to sit out and eat breakfast. A great start to the day.

Finally, the composting toilet was novel and I think it's a great idea and what makes this whole thing work well, considering it's all at the bottom of Wendy's garden. There's a sink and mirror, meaning I could shave without slashing my face to bits and there's a solar shower too! That was just great, as the water was definitely hot even with early morning sunlight.

In all, a great stay and I'm glad we chose Wendy's Eco Cabin as our first Airbnb experience.
