Access Statement - Walker Ground Barn

This statement describes the access, procedures and facilities at Walker Ground Barn so the guests may ensure our property is suitable for their requirements.

The Barn which was converted in the 1980's into a holiday let, is attached to our house which dates form the early C17th . It has been altered many times over the years, and is now on several levels, with multiple step and steep stairs, therefore we are not suitable for guests with restricted mobility.

We wish your stay with us to be as comfortable as possible, therefore please ensure we are aware of any special requirement you have prior to arrival. Do not hesitate to ask if you have any concerns about access or there is anything that you require.
