ACCESS STATEMENT PAGE
The hotel was built in 1810 and is a grade II-listed building. It has some beautiful architectural features, however, as a consequence, the structure of the building does present some accessibility barriers.
Whilst we are able to accommodate guests with limited mobility, we regret that we do not have facilities suitable for guests who are confined to a wheelchair.
If you do have any special needs please do not hesitate to contact us before making a reservation so that we can endeavour to meet your requirements.
A number of visual, hearing and mobility aids are available to guests. Wheelchair and electric scooter hire can also be arranged locally.
