Despite her charming exterior, Maggie is surprisingly spacious and comfortably sleeps up to six guests. Two handcrafted king-sized bunk beds provide a unique and luxurious sleeping arrangement for families and groups. The cosy L-shaped seating area transforms into a generous 3ft single bed, while the dining nook cleverly converts into an additional single bed, ideal for a child or small adult. Whether you're travelling as a family or gathering with friends, Maggie has been thoughtfully designed to ensure everyone has a comfortable place to rest after a day of adventure.
