    Parking

    Heather Barn has a very generous tarmac parking area (approx 25ft x 35 ft) with plenty of space for at least 2 cars and ample room for turning. The parking area is immediately adjacent to the cottage and gives directly onto the terrace area, which is paved. There are no steps.

    Toilet facilities

    Heather Barn has an accessible ensuite:

    The doorway into the ensuite shower room is 850mm wide. There is a turning circle of minimum 1200mm in the shower room. The shower is a level entry wet room with horizontal grab rails on either side of the shower area (one of which is drop-down and lockable, on the transfer side). We have a self-propelled shower wheelchair or a static (non-wheeled) shower chair that can be put in the shower room  on request.  There is a fixed overhead shower rose and also an adjustable shower head on a riser rail. The shower is thermostatic with a temperature limiter. The taps are all lever-type.

    The basin is wall-hung with clear space beneath and has a lever tap. The rim of the basin is at 790mm from the floor, with the bottom of the bowl at 630mm from floor height. There is a vertical chrome grab rail to the left of the basin. The loo is a Freedom toilet, with spatula flush, a projection of 750mm and seat height of 540mm. There is a drop-down lockable rail on the transfer side and a fixed horizontal rail on the opposite side. The floor surface is a specialist non-slip Altra Marine range bathroom flooring.

    Heather Barn  (National Accessible Scheme M3A – wheelchair friendly)

    Owl Barn, Tree Barn, and Coach House all have stairs and are not wheelchair friendly, but full access statements are also available for those cottages, so that decisions can be made for people who do not need wheelchairs but have other access requirements.

    Current owner Beth has done the Welcome to Excellence training course “Welcome All” which covers various aspects of accessibility for different needs, and is very clued up about disabilities.
