At present only the ground floor is fully accessible, with steps to the other floors, although the 1st floor can be accessed via an outside ramp. The toilet is also accessible. If you would like further advice please contact us. The Watermill has internal stairs which are not suitable for pushchairs. Pushchairs can be left on the ground floor.
