INTRODUCTION 

Our home is set in a very peaceful rural location and offers three guest rooms. The house is a grade 2 listed Georgian farmhouse and whilst we aim to meet the needs of all our guests there are some features of the property which make access difficult for people with limited mobility. There are several steps to the front door and the bedrooms are accessed by stairs. 

 
PRE-ARRIVAL 

We are located at the end of our own private drive which is 1/4 mile long and not tarmac. Our location is fairly remote and therefore not ideally suited to those travelling without a car. 
The nearest shops are in Tavistock, about 5 miles away. 
Buses will make a request stop close to the end of our lane. Buses only run hourly. 
The nearest railway stations are Exeter or Plymouth both are about 40 minutes away by car, a bus can be caught from both stations to Okehampton and Tavistock respectively. 
Brochures and menus can be provided, the later in large print if required. We regret that we do not have facilities to prepare documents in braille.
