Some notes on accessibility
Chandler’s cottage is arranged on two floors. The bedrooms and the bathroom are upstairs on the first floor and accessed by a fairly steep and narrow staircase which makes the cottage unsuitable for guests with limited mobility. The shower is over the bath so has a high step into it. The ground floor is mostly level with one small step at the front door and another between the living room and kitchen. Guests have exclusive use of the private off-road parking area immediately in front of the cottage.
It’s a 15 to 20 minute level walk from the cottage to the town centre and sea front. There’s a regular bus service that stops within 5 minutes walk of the cottage and goes into the town centre and also to neighbouring towns and to Exeter. There are also local minicab services available.
