Any other information: Whilst the cottage has been carefully designed for safety and comfort with tiled floors throughout on one ground floor level, and a large step in shower, I do not want this property to be used exclusively for people of very limited mobility. I do not wish for wheel chairs to be around the cottage used within the cottage when damage to the oak doors or walls might ensue. People with limited have thoroughly enjoyed staying in this cottage.
