Gelynis Farm Access Statement
Introduction
Gelynis Farm House dates back to 16th Centaury. It is a listed grade 2 * building and there is limited ability to improve access, due to building restrictions.
The building has been restored during the last few years and all access points and places examined in order to ensure the safety of our guests. The breakfast room is only accessible via 3 steps, guests who cannot negotiate these have the availability of a continental breakfast in their room.
We aim to make your stay with us as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
Please feel free to call us with any queries.
