Access statement

Please note that as the buildings of Old Lanwarnick are set into a slope, there are many different levels both across the site and within the buildings. We’ve therefore provided this access statement to help prospective guests decide whether Old Lanwarnick is suitable for their needs.

This statement does not contain personal opinions as to our suitability for those with access needs, but aims to accurately describe the facilities and services that we offer all our guests.

Access around the main site

There is a slight slope to and from the dog exercise area by the main entrance

Parts of the woodland walk can be quite steep, especially down towards the stream, and there are steps periodically around the route. Other routes around the woodland can be uneven under foot. There are several benches on the route.  

There are stairs up to the gate when entering the Pavillion Field, and a mowed path runs along the bottom of the field for access. To access the Pavillion and its view there is a steep mowed path up to it. However, we are happy to provide a lift in our electric ATV for those who require it.

To access our fields, and when visiting the animals, you will need to traverse a gentle slope from the cottages to the fields on the SW side of the property.

The journey from The Old Farmhouse to the gym and the hot tub barn is all on one level. Those coming from Honey Pot, Spice Barn, Hob Nob and Rainbow Cottage will need to navigate a few stairs. And access from Blackberry Barn is via a gravel slope.

All parking areas have slightly uneven gravel surfaces walkways. This area is well lit at night by timed lighting.
