With its Alice in Wonderland references the small hump shaped caravan is the first inhabitant in a world of magic its Blenheim owners are seeking to create. The caravan is sited in a secret garden - tucked into the midst of several back sections - an unsuspected oasis virtually in the centre of a busy town.

The secret garden is is essentially a large green lawn surrounded by tall trees. A second place to stay is almost complete - this being a tiny cottage perfectly dressed, romantic and charming.

The caravan - entitled Follow the White Wabbit, - is small, - yes. But it does manage to hold all the essentials. The double bed takes up the whole of the caravan  itself. But cunningly tucked into a fold-out portion at the back is a mini-kitchen with its utensils, pots, pans, cooking facilities, kettle, et cetera.

The caravan is colourful and charming. The bedding is polka-dotted and cheerful. There was a small tin of delicious bunny-shaped biscuits. There were all the teacups and saucers necessary for an Alice in Wonderland tea-party.

This is a nice place to stay. It cries out for some croquet hoops and mallets. I expect a flamingo or two is too much to hope for.
