Good to Know
Whilst the space is charming and cosy, taller guests should be aware that headroom is limited in parts of the carriage due to its original structure.
This is a glamping experience – expect peaceful surroundings, curious donkeys, and countryside charm.
Please do not feed the animals. A separate donkey experience can be arranged on request.
Your four-legged friend is welcome, but we ask that you clean up after them and keep them under control, especially around livestock.
