This was an amazing property to chill out and truly enjoy nature. Right on the moor there was only ourselves and the owners. (who were extremely helpful when called upon).The only difficulty we had was our dogs found the wooden stairs from the kitchen up to the lounge very slippery and we had to assist our older dog to get up and down.However we thoroughly enjoyed the break and there were lots of places to visit.
