It’s important to note that this property is not suitable for parties, hen or stag dos, as the owners prioritize hosting guests looking for a serene retreat. While the farm is home to pedigree Dexter cows and three cats, pets are not allowed due to the nature of the farm. Guests should also be aware that there is no Wi-Fi available, as the internet connection is slow in the Moorlands; however, mobile phone reception is generally good. The location is also conveniently situated near attractions like Alton Towers and Peak Wildlife Park, making it an excellent base for exploring the Heart of England.
