“Coming from a family of Dartmoor guides, she eats, sleeps and breathes the land and is a treasure trove of information and history. But, in my opinion, what sets her apart, is that she intimately knows, and can introduce people, to the real spirit of moors. My wife and I had visited the area that Emma took us to, many times, and yet we had only discovered a fraction of what was there! Emma is someone who cares, and this applies to both the land, and to the welfare of her guests. Everyone’s needs were tended to, and she can effortlessly adapt an itinerary accordingly. We had a fantastic day, enjoying rain and shine, and thoroughly recommend you seek out Dartmoor’s Daughter.”
