General:
In this Accessibility statement we aim to set out clearly the accessibility of each property.

Croft Farm and Celtic cottages is a small cluster of holiday cottages on a smallholding of 8 acres with indoor heated leisure facilities. The properties make up 3 sides of the former farm courtyard, now lawn, parking and turning areas. The proprietors, Andy and Sylvie Gow live in the Farmhouse on the fourth side of the square.

In 1988 when we took over the properties The Hayloft, Cartwheel and The Stable cottages were already converted from the traditional stone and slate farm buildings. We converted other properties also from traditional stone and slate farm buildings in 1990. The other conversions from non-residential buildings and the alterations of the Farmhouse have taken place more recently however there were no accessibility regulations in force at these times.

Our policy is to seek ways of making the properties more accessible by identifying areas which limit or restrict their access and by taking the necessary steps to modify these areas or provide the necessary aids to help overcome them. This is an ongoing process which is subject only to the physical constraints imposed by the limitations of the traditional stone and slate, former farm buildings and therefore what is considered to be reasonably financially viable.
As the cottages are modernised every effort will be made to make reasonable improvements to their physical features including lighting, for the benefit of all.
