Barnitts is situated on Colliergate in the centre of York. Getting into York there are several car parks in and around the city centre with the train station not being far away. There are five entrances into Barnitts, all with level access. The main entrance however is best as it has a wide ramp. There is no hearing loop system in Barnitts,. When asked, the shop does discounts for several different charities, not specifically carers. The shop assistant said they would look at the situation and give discounts on a case by case basis. Do ask the staff as they're all very friendly. There are no toilets in Barnitts however there are many cafe's close such as Nero that have disabled access toilets. The shop is well sign posted and has a very open plan downstairs with ramps through all sections including kitchenware, gardening and home furnishings. The shop doesn't have a lift as it's a grade 2 listed building.
