Frequently Asked Questions

The hayloft with two single beds is accessed via a ladder and has limited headroom. It's most comfortable for children and teenagers, but agile adults can use it too.

Yes, Sweet Thorn Cottage was formerly known as Enjo Cottage. The cottage was refurbished in January 2025 when the inside was totally redone and the outside living spaces extended. The name was changed at this point to better reflect the cottage and its location amongst the native sweet thorn trees (Vachellia karroo).
