Privacy
Calvin’s Cabin and the deck outside are not overlooked, so you can be assured of privacy. However, as the Cabin is in the grounds of my home, you’ll sometimes see me or a friend or family member in the upper part of the garden.
I will always respect your privacy, but I am also here to listen if you would like to talk. You can find out more about me and the inspiration for Calvin’s Cabin in My Story.
Accessibility
The Cabin is all on one level. The path to the Cabin is wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair and a ramp can be made available to navigate the step up to the decking.
Please note
The Cabin and garden are non-smoking areas.
Sadly, no pets are allowed. This is to ensure we can accommodate guests with allergies. N.B. the resident dog (a very friendly mini labradoodle) will sometimes be in the garden but is not allowed in the Cabin.
