Accessibility – Remember Me B&B

Introduction

Situated in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of Port St Mary, my extended bungalow enjoys sweeping panoramic views from Port St Mary to Port Erin. The accommodation comprises 5 double/twin rooms, most of which are en-suite with access to a tranquil, sunny seating area. Guests also have use of an extensive terraced garden in which to sit and relax. There is off road parking for 2-3 vehicles however the initial entrance to the drive is steep.

The following information should be useful in deciding whether the facilities are suitable for your particular needs. Whilst every effort has been made to support the needs of all guests there are some features of the property which might make access more difficult with limited mobility.

The main guest entrance is via sliding patio windows which have a 20cm step up to a 10cm step over window ridge. A portable metal ramp is available, on request, for guests. However, regrettably the property is not suitable for wheelchair users due to the bedroom door widths.

There are 2 bedrooms and the dining area on the ground floor. The dining area in which breakfast is served has complimentary tea and coffee making facilities throughout the day and a fridge for guest use. The guest lounge area with television and reading material is located on the upper floor which is accessed by a carpeted staircase comprising 13 steps. There is a handrail on the left-hand side. There are 2 further bedrooms on this floor with access to a shared bathroom.

The 5^th bedroom is a self-contained studio apartment, is separate from the main house and is located above the double garage. It is accessed via 2 flights of concrete steps – 13 steps in total.

The four-tier low maintenance garden is accessed via concrete steps and is not suitable for those who have limited mobility. Neither is it suitable for young children.

There are two friendly resident cats and so the property is not suitable for animal guests.

Good Wi-fi facilities are available via the recently installed fibre (fttp) Internet connection.
