Disabled Access - Specific Information
Room 3 - super-king or twin beds, en-suite
We have three guest bedrooms on the ground-floor (plus one single en-suite upstairs.)
WC with grab rails at each side,Room Three The step into the shower cubicle is 7 inches high. There is a grab rail for entry and another inside the cubicle. There is space for a shower chair within the cubicle but this is not a level access shower and the controls are not accessible for a wheelchair user. The shower controls are high, and might be difficult for anyone less than 5’3” high. There are grab rails each side of the toilet – 17” (43cm) high (toilet seat raiser available). Side transfer to this toilet is not possible; the wheelchair user would need to be able to weight-bear whilst turning 180deg. to access the toilet. There is very limited space for a carer during toilet and shower transfer. Although the bathroom is very large, there is NOT sufficient space for a mobile hoist next to the toilet itself. We have a shower chair with commode facility if that is any help in this regard. There is a vertical grab rail to assist entry and exit for the sunken whirlpool bath as well as a horizontal one alongside the bath. The top edge of the bath is 9” above floor-level and is 7” wide. There is a bath seat available for those who prefer not get too low in the bath. There is a grab-rail next to the wash basin (27” (69cm) high) which has generous knee space under and has lever taps.
Sunken bath with horizontal & vertical grab rails,Room Three
The desk is 27" (69cm) high and the bed(s) are 23" (58cm) high. The bed(s) can be put together to make one 6’ wide super-king bed. The height of one bed in twin arrangement can be raised to 29" (74cm) high by using our purpose-made bed-blocks. This is particularly important if a mobile hoist is necessary. We are happy to hire this from a local medical-care facility, at a reasonable charge, please ask for more information. For hygiene reasons, you would need to provide your own "toileting sling" for use with the bed hoist. If a hoist is necessary for toileting as well, we advise you to consider using Room One or Room Two, not Room Three. Please visit Room Three page to see photographs of Room Three.
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; toilet seat raiser; bed-blocks; mobile hoist; bed back-rest.
