Tremaine Barn limitations for less mobile clients
 
We have had several clients with restricted movement, who have thoroughly enjoyed
their stays at Tremaine Barn.
However, there are some limitations which
we must specify that render our 2 cottages
unsuitable for clients who are wheelchair
bound for all their movements.
In order to help our clients choose a
property that is appropriate we have
described below some factors related
to client mobility at Tremaine Barn.

200mm above the pathway surface
