    Excellent

    Super access particularly in house, but so much better than have experienced elsewhere. Needed powerpack on my wheelchair as there are a few minor slopes to takle in the grounds. The footpaths were compacted hardcore which caused the chair to lose grip a couple of time, but they were even. Staff were most Helpfull and friendly. The disabled toilet facilities easily accommodated my chair and there were suitably places grab rails and emergency pull cord, most importantly they were clean.

    In the gardens I would advocate some form of power to tackle ups and dons,nowhere presented any restrictions in the form of steps. In the house there was full access to all floors via lifts.

    Good

    The parking seemed further away than I'd been led to believe, not sure but maybe blue badge holders could part nearer. Also was uphill!

    Suitable for the wheelchair to entre. Adequate grab rails, easy access to sink and dryer. Includes baby change fascility. However the toilet seat moved and was not secure.

    Thanks so much for a great review - Chatsworth has been on my 'visit list' for ages but I've not been sure how it'd work for me as a wheelchair user. Love the captions on your pictures too!
