Access Statement for Peartree Farmhouse
Introduction
Our home is set on the edge of the small market town of Newport Shropshire enjoying
the peace and quiet of a rural aspect whilst still being within an eight minute
walk of the busy town centre. The house
dates from approximately 1860 and retains some period features such as ceiling
beams and wooden 'A Frame' trusses.
We are located on flat terrain with three steps from the ample car park to the
front door. Regrettably due to the
cottage proportions of some areas and rooms we are unsuitable for wheelchair
access.
Pre-Arrival
we are located at the end of a well maintained road via a small estate of
bungalows.
Our close proximity to town with its regular bus services to Telford and
Stafford make us an ideal location for those travelling without a car.
The nearest shops, pubs, restaurants are an eight minute walk away.
Telford is 8 miles away whilst Stafford is 12 miles and Shrewsbury 12 miles
all contain larger shopping centres and are well served by buses.
All of the above towns have railway stations and taxis are usually available
at the stations. We can provide local
taxi firm numbers if required, alternatively we could make bookings on your
behalf.
We have two cats and regret that we cannot accommodate guests pets within
the house.
Our website www.peartreefarmhouse.co.uk provides pictures of our
accommodation and further information about the services we provide.
You can contact us by telephone, fax or e-mail, whenever we leave the
premises we divert our landline to a mobile telephone. Please see the "Contact

Special dietary requirements can usually be accommodated; we would greatly
appreciate details in advance of arrival.
Regretfully our guest accommodation is on the first floor, we are unsuitable
for wheelchair access to those areas.
