Any other information you think people might find helpful:

Car park/arrival Accessible car parking space lead to the ramp to the front door, which has an automatic sliding door that opens on movement picked up by a sensor. Inside the property, there is a Stannah platform lift to negotiate two steps from the outer hall to the inner hall. Wheelchair using guests can operate this lift themselves, but staff are always on hand to give assistance. Guests can wheel onto the platform after which the bars will secure the safety of the guest when the lift starts to move. Guests are welcomed on their arrival in the car park and assistance with luggage is part of our process. The main hall and reception are level throughout. Normally guests register at the reception desk but check-in formalities may also be performed in the bedroom. The hall offers two carver chairs and is properly lit. In winter the log fire will be burning. An induction loop is available. We normally make guests familiar with their new surroundings by conducting our €œscenic tour€, but it is possible to take guests straight to the bedroom if so desired.
