Access Overview for Blue Slates
Blue Slates is a south facing ground floor apartment on the east side of the main property, Hunter’s Moon, which is occupied by the owners, Viv and Steve Jenkins and their two miniature schnauzers Bertie and Otto.  

 

Hunter’s Moon underwent major renovation in 2018 and 2019.  

Blue Slates overlooks the large front garden and surrounding hills, with the gentle sounds of the nearby stream and surrounding nature to sooth the soul.

 
The property is located in the village of Shaugh Prior inside Dartmoor National Park accessed from either the A38 Exeter to Plymouth dual carriageway or from Okehampton across the moors. There is a bus service to and from Plymouth (8 miles) and a good selection of local taxi companies. Exeter is our nearest airport with Bristol the next most convenient.
