"1. The property is split between two buildings; the new visitor centre is fully accessible. But

the grade 2 listed cottages has low narrow doorways and one steep curving staircase to

access the first floor. The pathways to the cottage are gravelled but do slope down

towards the bottom of the garden.

2. Mobile reception is good all over the property for most mobile providers. In an

emergency the number to call is 01905 333 330 but as the property is small enough the

best option is to flag down a member of staff or volunteer with a radio.

3. Assistance dogs are welcome all over the property and the general property policy

towards dogs is that they are welcomed everywhere except the cottage and tea-room."
