Gwaenynog – Access Statement
Whilst we welcome everyone at Gwaenynog, we are unable to provide a downstairs bedroom or accommodate guests who are unable to use the stairs.
Any questions or concerns please just call or email, we are more than happy to assist.
House Layout
The house is on two levels; ground and first floors. There are two small steps - one up into the porch, then the second is over the threshold into the front hall. The porch has a tiled floor, with a raised doormat. There are 13 steps to the first floor, which are 78 cm wide and 19 cm high. There is a single handrail on the left side all the way up to the top. All 3 bedrooms are upstairs. The ground floor is level throughout, apart from at the entrance porch as stated.
There is ample parking available near the barns, approx 30 yards away, which is across the concrete yard along the concrete path to the front of the house.
Pets
We do not allow pets at this time in the rooms, however we will consider if they will sleep in the owners cars, or perhaps be happy to go into the kennel in our barn.
Also, we need to advise that we have two pet dogs of our own, Beau & Bonnie. They are not permitted into the kitchen whilst preparing or eating of food, nor do they have access to the guest areas of the house. However, they do have access within our lounge and they sleep in the rear porch, so Gwaenynog is not necessarily suitable for anyone with any dog allergies.
Both dogs are very friendly - they love having visitors, but as they are Springer Spaniel/Collie cross breeds, they tend to be quite excitable and Bonnie especially likes to jump up! If guests advise, we will ensure the dogs are kept away whilst you are staying with us.
As both my husband and I suffer with cat allergies, we do not own cats, nor would we allow them in the house.
Bedrooms
Menus and welcome information are available in each room, as well as in large print in the drawer of the coffee table in the lounge.
Cordless kettles are available in all rooms, as well as televisions with Freeview and integral DVD players. The televisions in the room are equipped with teletext.
The bedrooms all have locks and guests are provided with a front door key to come and go freely.
Each bedroom has a main ceiling light, controllable from the door and also from the beds via a pull cord. There are also touch control bedside lamps on each side of the bed. Each room has a wind-up torch in the bedside drawer, in the event of a power cut.
All the duvets and pillows are made of a synthetic filling, so are therefore suitable for everyone.
All rooms are equipped with en-suite shower rooms.
Heating is via central heating to radiators in each room, but which are adjustable during winter. There are also hot water bottles in each room - for those cooler nights.
Each bedroom has a drinks tray, including tea, coffee, herbal teas and hot chocolate makings, with biscuits and assorted sweets.
Other Information
We do use nuts in the kitchen, so people with nut or other allergies of this nature should be aware.
We can supply soya milk, decaffeinated coffee or other alternatives, upon request. Please advise any dietary requirements prior to your arrival - as we may not always have a supply.
The entire house is non smoking.
Three, Orange and Vodafone mobile phones can be used upstairs in the house, with some limitations due to the thick walls, or there is almost full coverage outside, but there is limited or no coverage for other networks either in or outside the house. A cordless telephone handset on the house phone can be made available for guests to use upon request.
