Guest access
The key less entrance is for guests only. The host will never use the entrance when there are guests. Please be assured you will be private at all times.

Other things to note
Self help breakfast are provided

- "Very friendly hosts with a very clean property and the self help breakfast offerings are a nice touch. Bathroom and toilet situation is a little unusual in that they are situated in the small entrance hallway so I would recommend bringing a dressing gown as it feels like you could bump into the hosts here (but we never did) - the shower has excellent pressure though. The main unit entrance door has a keyless lock which is excellent - there is also an entrance to the hosts house from here. Then you go down a few stairs, passing the bathroom and toilet (and through a small laundry that is not for guest use) and then through a door into the unit proper - there is no lock on this door which felt a little strange. There is no kitchen sink so you put any dirty dishes in the laundry sink in the morning and the hosts pick them up, clean and return them to the sink for collection later in the day. You can communicate with the hosts, and them with you, via a google nest in the unit. This was something new for us and we are not sure we really liked the concept :) Heating very good, bed very comfortable and comfy pillows."

- "We were late arriving so only got to spend a very short time but the tiny house was lovely and comfortable. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating. " - "I was interested to experience the Tiny Away model. Essentially a very well equipped small mobile home set up by Tiny Away on a hosts property. It means you get isolation and rural locations that would otherwise not be possible.The concept is absolutely great for a short stay and perfect if you, as I was, are looking for somewhere to stop for a night or two on a road trip.The fact that the “host” is both Tiny away and the local property owner is a bit confusing and listing details failed to spell out that there is no internet at the unit. However, in general, it is an experience I would repeat in the right circumstances."
