However, Keely warned future customers that their stay may not be without inconvenience.
She continued: “Please note that due to the rural location the water pressure can sometimes drop, if this does happen the shower may not work for a short time it is something that we are used to living with and does not happen very often, we apologise should this happen it is just part of living in such a beautiful setting.
“The wagon unfortunately is not suitable for dogs so we have decided it is best that we don't allow them.
