Access Statement for the Coach House (self catering cottage)

With the exception of a gallery bedroom all other rooms (entrance hall, lounge, master bedroom with en-suite shower room, bathroom/WC, bunk room and kitchen/dining room) are on the ground floor. The gallery bedroom (overlooking the lounge) is accessed by a flight of stairs from the lounge.
