5 Star Gold Award Luxury Bed and Breakfast!

Disabled Access Information

National Accessibility Scheme - M1

Three of our four rooms are on the ground-floor - offering a superb choice for those who require disabled access.  We comfortably satisfy the requirements of M1 grading in the National Accessibility Scheme and only fail to get a higher grading because of doorway width. So long as your wheelchair can turn into doorways of 28” (72cm) that shouldn’t be a problem for you.  Access to the house is from concrete parking with no steps throughout the public areas (with the exception of Room Four upstairs!)

Three ground-floor rooms.
All very different & each accessible to wheelchairs.

In keeping with our overall policy of great attention to detail and the well-being of our guests, you will be reassured to know that Lyth Hill House is fully compliant with current Fire Safety regulations. Your room has its own smoke detector, linked electronically to 17 others throughout the house, so that were there to be a fire, you would know immediately.

Because we have three accessible rooms, it is crucial to reserve any mobility aids you might wish to use.
Please do this WHEN YOU BOOK your accommodation, thank you.
Aids include: wheelchair, shower chair; bath-seat; toilet seat raiser; bed-blocks; mobile hoist; bed back-rest.

Sir William Lawrence, chairman of the Heart of England Tourist Board and himself a life-long wheelchair user, has had this comment published: "Whilst in Shropshire recently, I came across a luxury B&B called Lyth Hill House, near Shrewsbury. The things that make this establishment so special are attitude, quality and a sheer desire to make their guests to feel as comfortable a possible during their stay. Lyth Hill House is lovely and the location so quiet and peaceful. All disabilities are catered for and that is when attitude really counts." September 2003

Doorways throughout are minimum 28.5" (72 cm). The width of the hallway is 39"(99cm). We now have a permanent purpose-built ramp with a gently slope to give completely smooth access from the concrete parking area through the front door (no threshold to negotiate). Alternatively there are 2 shallow steps with handrails if preferred. The height of the dining room table is 27" (69 cm).

Folder of Information specifically for visitors with disabilities.

This contains information on access to attractions, transport, countryside access, shopmobility etc. and is available in the sun-lounge. We invite you to add your own comments and experiences in the folder to augment this information.

Please click www.disabledholidayinfo.org.uk/shrews.htm for relevant information for wheelchair users visiting Shrewsbury. Elsewhere on this website on the Countryside page we include lots of ideas for all modes of transport and mention of a number of wheelchair accessible trails locally.

Please ask for further information as we are aware that every person has different needs. Only YOU are able to decide to what extent we are able to accommodate your own specific needs so we are very happy to answer your queries before you book and whilst you are with us. Both of us have been widowed and have some experience of what it is to be a carer. We like to think that we are sensitive to individual needs and we will help in whatever way we can.

All needs are individual, please ask us for detailed measurements or more information and don't be afraid to ask for us to provide something new!
