Access Policy

We welcome as many people as possible to Graylands Cottage. We regularly have families and groups including people with learning disabilities. We can accommodate wheelchair users, although we don’t recommend that the cottage is suitable for independent stays. If you would like to have a conversation about any aspects of the cottage’s accessibility, please just give us a call.

 

Our ground floor has 2 single bedrooms including one with an accessible en suite WC with handrails. The goundfloor also has an accessible

shower/wetroom. There is a shower seat that we can make available on request (but no handrails in the shower). The wetroom is wheelchair accessible.

 

If anyone in your party uses a pusher or Zimmer, it maybe useful to know that the floor surfaces are a mixture of tiles and carpet – therefore you may wish to consider bringing a pusher with brakes or a Zimmer with two wheels and two legs.

 

There are no steps into or on the ground floor.  Some doorways have small lips on the threshold, and some doorways are less than 750mm wide. Depending on your wheelchair you may need to circumvent them (this is possible by taking a different route through the cottage). Our external patio, looking out over a stunning view, is (accompanied) wheel chair accessible via a gentle slope.

 

The parking area is gravel. If access via the front door is constrained, you can drive a car in through our gates and align it closely with the downstairs single bedroom for access. We have a ramp that may help with this, available on request.

 

 

As with any old property, despite modernisation there are hazards which include steep narrow stairs to the 1st floor, uneven flooring, and a spacious garden with wild plants including some brambles, stinging nettles and potentially poisonous plants such as foxgloves. (But that means we normally have lots of butterflies!).

 

Of course you visit Graylands Cottage at your own risk, but if you let us know about any special requirements we will do our best to accommodate them.
