The single track to access the property is very picturesque being about a mile long. The track was passable even during heavy rain and slight flooding over the track from the beck, and after dark. Itâs helpful to have two people in a vehicle to hold the gates open as you drive through as they do not stay open if not held. The owners were lovely and very helpful and the hot tub, barbecue, and summer house a real bonus. Would highly recommend.
