About Your Miniature Horse Sleepover
This location is truly exceptional. Where else in the world can you sleep alongside a miniature horse in its own attached stable? The bedroom here features a double bed and bunk beds, the kitchen is fully functional and includes utensils, and you have plenty of outdoor space with this deal – but the real attraction is star-of-the-show Basil, who fans adore.
The farm includes a herd of Highland cows and some Norwegian Forest Cats. Guests have an outdoor log fire and BBQ grill to enjoy, and the potential for baby lambs kept in the stables beside them. One thing is constant and that’s Basil’s admiring glances. He loves the company and will be happy to have you stay.
Basil is so famous, the Metro even ran an article on him.

A Bit About Airbnb
Airbnb are a huge name in multinational travel. They operate all over the world, with their western market particularly strong. Airbnb uses an innovative model that allows you to stay in someone’s house, rather than in a hotel or other accommodations. Sometimes the owner rents out a room and sometimes you have the whole property to yourself. No matter what happens, though, you stay with a local person who has in-depth knowledge of the local area.
Airbnb hosts work hard to earn 5 star reviews. This makes for an excellent experience, most of the time. Traveling with them means your local guide can pass on information to help you make the most of your trip. They can leave you the best takeaway menus from the area, gift you literature on local attractions, and even put together welcome packs for you.
Airbnb began in 2007 when two hosts in San Francisco rented out their properties. Since then, they have gone from strength to strength to become a worldwide guest hosting firm. Users can sign up to rent out space in their own homes or sign up as guests. A review process helps keep everyone aligned.
