Hayes Engineering Works Tours

We stayed in the tiny house which was a good choice as the weather was cool and wet - it took a bit of work to get the woodstove going for us to get warm (and you need to take care once it's hot) - it did make downstairs comfortable to be in but the sleeping area very stuffy. There is an electric heater also but we didn't use that. We had been made aware that there was no stovetop in the house - the fridge is now in that space - so we had planned appropriately. An electric hotplate would suffice though. We also knew that there was no toilet inside the house, the portaloo close by was the fanciest I have experienced, with flush and hand sanitiser. The showers were a walk away which was less convenient. A nice view out of the window, although lots of people do walk by and check out the house. A range of water birds in the lake and the occasional rabbit on the lawn. An allocated parking space is a few steps from the door of the house.

Loved the garden play area for the kids. Our room was very spacious, clean and the staff were so welcoming. We wished we were able to stay longer. We’ll certainly be back!
