Accessibility

Although the hotel’s topography does not naturally lend itself to creating a totally accessible hotel, we make every effort to welcome all guests and have made investments to meet a range of needs.

Please note the main house hotel does not have a lift. Lift access accommodation is available in the Ocean Venue providing access to the Beach Suites.

We welcome the opportunity to hear any suggestions as to other changes that we can make to help meet, or indeed surpass, requirements.

• We discuss with guests any special needs they may have before their arrival in order to plan any requirements. Then whilst with us, we assign a staff member as a designated ‘contact’ throughout the stay, facilitating anything that might be needed.
• We provide training to our staff to ensure all our guests feel included – many attend external training e.g. the Welcome All course.
• We welcome feedback from guests and employees on how we can improve accessibility for everyone.

• Information is promoted through a range of communication and marketing tools wherever appropriate.
• We have installed new signage, ensuring that it is clearly visible at our hotel, on our beach and in our self-catering properties.

• We are accessible via public transport (buses/interconnecting railway)/electric vehicles/walking.
• Guests can ‘drive to the door’ in our car park, enabling direct access to reception.
• We have made significant fabric investments, enabling our ground floor to be ‘on the flat’ – providing accessibility throughout.
• We provide a lift service from the car park level to the beach promenade and Beach Suite apartments and restaurant.
• We have eight Beach Suites with direct lift access to the accommodation from the car park level
