Disabled at Kitley

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 use.
