Accessibility - the house will have ramps at the entrance for ease of access and also up the small steps from the reception to the main ground floor. The final part of the house tour will be to two rooms upstairs - we are sorry but we are unable to show those to visitors unable to take the stairs themselves as we have no staff onsite to be able to make safe evacuations for those unable to use the stairs. The gardens are set in 28 acres of grounds with paths with small gravel chippings which are accessible to wheelchair users with an able pusher - you may also wheel on the grass. The Italian Gardens which are the formal end of the grounds do have steps in places but there is a flat path through the pergola which enables access and you can view the whole part of the garden from that area. There are accessible toilets in the gardens and also one in the house.

Sadly no dogs allowed unless assistance dogs.
