Access

Swansfield Stables was built within an old quarry and the surrounding ground conditions can provide a challenge for people with mobility difficulties.

The main drive access to the courtyard is steep and gravelled and the yard itself is a mixture of cobbles and flagstones. We would obviously allow cars to pick up and drop off into the yard when required. Main access to the garden is by metal stairs and stone and wood steps though it can be reached a longer way round up a hardcore path.

The Cart Shed has a step up and and a small downstairs toilet and washbasin. There is a lot of space on the ground floor and a king-size sofa bed for people unable to use stairs. The Cart Shed is wooden floored. The Cart Shed’s Access statement is here.

The extra room and its ensuite bathroom are all on one level though there is a step into the room and into the shower. This room is not wheel chair accessible.

Although neither the Cart Shed or extra room can offer full disabled access, we will do whatever we can to welcome guests of all abilities and we ask that you call us first if you wish to discuss any particular needs you may have.

The Garden

We have a working vegetable and fruit garden, a polytunnel, an orchard and woodland area, all open for guests to explore and we can offer fruit and veg and eggs for a donation when available. Children are very welcome at Swansfield Stables though we must point out that some of the woodland is quite wild and though fenced off, the pond is deep. Young children, especially, do need to be supervised when in the garden to avoid accidents.
