Accessibility
Due to the age and nature of the building, there are restrictions on the level of access available to persons with limited mobility. We regret the property is not suitable for wheelchair users. The ground floor SuperKing/Twin room is most readily accessible for persons able to walk, but not able to use stairs. Please note, the shower room is not equipped with disability supports but an adjustable height shower stool can be provided if required. There are 6 steps up to the front door of the property but, as an alternative, access can be gained via the side lawn and a ramp up on to the front verandah. Please note the property does not have a lift.
