Gwrach Ynys - access statement
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.
. 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.
. There are two steps leading to the front door. The first is 50mm ( 2 inches ) onto the veranda and the second, into the house, is 180mm (7 inches ) high.
. Once inside, the ground floor is level, and we have the dining room and two guest lounges.
. There are no toilets or bedrooms on the ground floor.
. All our bedrooms are on the first floor.
. 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.
. 6 of our bedrooms are en - suite, one with a bath, and the other five with showers. All the showers have enclosures.
. 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.
. The stairs and landings are well lit.
. All our bedrooms have cordless kettles, and remote control televisions.
. 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.
. 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.
