Notes
Because of the architecture of Church Oast we are unable to accommodate wheelchair users. However you have successfully accommodated guests with some mobility problems e.g elderly people with sticks, guests with considerable sight problems and hard of hearing. Our attitude is to spend the time adjusting what we can for the comfort of such guests and giving plenty of time to the guests themselves. As the wife of a wheelchair user, I am very aware of the needs of guests with disabilities.
