The farm is remote and not connected to the national electricity grid. There is high-speed WiFi, but no mobile phone signal. Electrical power comes from solar panels and a hydro-electric generator. There is also a diesel generator which runs automatically 2hrs/day. Electrical supplies are limited therefore, and guests will need a degree of resourcefulness!
Water is straight from a spring on the farm. The Kitchen has an oil-fired AGA for cooking, a microwave, fridge and excellent range of kitchen equipment. A washing machine and tumble dryer are available when the generator is running.
There is parking for several cars but the farm track is very rough and not suitable for sports cars. The farmhouse has steep stairs & rough granite floors and isn’t ideal for very young children. The terrain is steep and rugged; the hiking, riding, fishing and outdoor pursuits are unrivalled.
The farm, and nearby Combestone Tor, opened the 2011 film “War Horse” as the birthplace of “Joey” and with some of the early scenes of the beauty of Dartmoor.
