Accommodation and Site Access: We have three ground-floor barns that are more easily accessible, and we’re happy to provide items such as ramps, shower chairs, cots, and highchairs on request. Guests are also welcome to bring any personal equipment they need. Free parking with wheelchair access is available near selected properties. While some limitations exist due to the nature of our historic barns and working farmland – including uneven paths and gradients – we do all we can to assist.
Farmhouse Kitchen Café: Our café has been designed with inclusivity in mind. We are proud to be breastfeeding-friendly and provide larger printed menus for visually impaired guests. We’ve intentionally opted for a calm, music-free environment to reduce overstimulation, and we’re happy to offer quieter tables or recommend low-traffic times for those who prefer a more peaceful setting. An accessible toilet is also available in the café for added convenience.
