Awards for Gwrach Ynys Country Guest House

Self-assessed accessibility details

Notes

• The house is set in open countryside, two miles north of Harlech on the A496. It is surrounded by lawned gardens, which are fairly level.<br /><br />Car parking is to the side of the house on level tarmac. The furthest you would have to walk is 30 metres ( 33 yards ), and there is a space to the front which is 5 metres ( 6 yards ) from the front door.<br /><br />There are two steps leading to the front door. The first is 100mm ( 4 inches ) onto the veranda and the second, into the house, is 180mm (7 inches ) high.<br /><br />Once inside, the ground floor is level, and we have the dining room and two guest lounges.<br /><br />There are no toilets or bedrooms on the ground floor.<br /><br />All our bedrooms are on the first floor.<br /><br />The staircase is 900mm ( 35 inches ) wide with a solid banister. There are 12 steps of 180mm ( 7 inches ) to reach a small landing. Three further steps of 180mm ( 7 inches ) lead to the back bedrooms or four further steps of 180mm ( 7 inches ) lead to the front rooms.<br /><br />6 of our bedrooms are en ? suite, one with a bath, and the other five with showers. All the showers have enclosures.<br /><br />Our single room does not have an en suite bathroom and would entail you having to descend four steps and ascend another three steps to gain access from your bedroom.<br /><br />The stairs and landings are well lit.<br /><br />All our bedrooms have cordless kettles, and remote control televisions.<br /><br />A bus service passes the house every hour, during the day, and buses will stop by request. The closest train station is at Harlech, two miles away.<br /><br />Mobile phone coverage on Vodaphone / Cellnet / and Orange is good in the house and immediate vicinity, but there are many spots in the surrounding area where reception cannot be guaranteed.
