About this place
A stone barn on a quiet lane at the edge of the moor. It was fitted out with equipment guests actually ask for, and we inspected all of it in person. The garden has a secure gate, which families who need to manage exits have told us matters as much as the ramps.

Good to know
We list the barriers as carefully as the features. Read these before you request a stay.
- The hoist is a fixed ceiling track. It does not reach the second or third bedrooms.
- The lane is unlit at night. Bring a torch for the short walk from the car in winter.
- Mobile signal is weak indoors. There is fixed wifi and a landline for emergencies.
