Access Statement

Introduction
Higher Rosevine Farm provides 2 self catering holiday cottages located on a smallholding at Rosevine just above Porthcurnick beach near Portscatho.
This is a rural, coastal area close to the S.W.Coast path and its many beaches, coves and small villages.
Smugglers Barn has been designed with restricted mobility in mind, with a level walk from the car park into the courtyard and then access into the building over a 10cm/4inch slate door sill which may require a ramp (provided). Inside the building, it is level, uncarpeted and with walk in wet room, the twin room allows wheelchair access to beds, extra wide sliding doors to internal rooms and sockets and light switches are at disabled height. Outside there is a level courtyard garden area.
It is suitable for a person in a wheelchair but not suitable for an independent wheelchair user on their own. The barn is also ideal for those who do not want the worry of stairs.
