WELCOME
TO OUR INFORMATION REGARDING GUEST USE SPECIFICALLY FOR
DISABLED VISITORS
We
are currently designated under the National Accessible Scheme
operated by the Visit Britain Organisation.
Mobility
Level 2: Typically suitable for a person with restricted
walking ability and for those that may need to use a wheelchair
some of the time and can negotiate a maximum of three steps.
The
purpose of this page is to give you more detailed information
on the practical use of Kitley House. Whilst we have had considerable
experience of accommodating guests over the years we are
frequently asked specific questions regarding staying
at Kitley House. The house is a Grade One listed building
which due to its size of public rooms presents few accessibility
issues once access has been gained...
CAR
PARKING
Two
bays are reserved and designated for the use of Disabled
Guests. These are immediately adajcent to the Front Door.
The Right Hand Bay can be viewed from Reception which is
manned 24 hours a day. In the event that assistance is required
before exiting the car we advise that Lights are Flashed
until the Receptionist attention is gained. In the event
of slow response (they may be on the telephone or talking
to customers) do feel free to use your horn!
FRONT
DOOR ACCESS
There
are three steps from the car park to the lobby and one step
from the lobby to the Hotel Ground Floor Level. To assist access
there are ramps retained in the lobby area. If you require
their use please advise prior to arrival. They will
be left in place throughout your stay. Due to the level
of slope we require that assistance is provided for their

Reception.
