Access is from a single track lane, but when you arrive Wow, just beautiful. Extremely quiet except for the occasional Baa from the sheep. The only problem that arose was we had no water Sunday to Monday which we believe was due to the storm, but there was some emergency water to drink. The only downside was that there wasn’t an evening contact on a weekend. Would definately go again though. ##### Jane T.
