Access Statement
The Old Posthouse was built around 1850, and all bedrooms are on the first floor. We have no lift/ elevator and no ground floor bedrooms. This means that access is restricted.
There is one entrance door for guests. On arrival and departure at the end of their stay guests should use the front entrance door on Main Street which is about 30 metres from the car parking area at the end of the drive.
There are 2 parking spaces on the tarmac drive and 1 space on loose gravel. The drive is primarily made of fairly level tarmac and is in a reasonable state of repair.
The main entrance is from Main Street and involves a 18.5 cm step up from the pavement through a 77 cm door into the front entrance hall.
The front entrance hall is 94 cm wide at its narrowest point (due to radiator) and is tiled and has a Persian rug runner over it with non-slip mat underneath.
The front entrance hall gives access to the guest Dining Room through a 692 mm wide door and to the Snug through a 69.5 cm door.
From the front entrance hall, 13 stairs lead up to the first floor where all bedrooms are located. The staircase is 91.5 cm wide (apart from a narrower point, where two pillars are located at the bottom of the stairs, which is 79 cm wide), with each stair having a depth of 20 cm on the tread and a rise of 20 cm.
There is limited headroom at one point on the stairs due to an arch over the stairs at 171 cm above stair height at the lowest point. There is a sign warning guests to mind their heads.
