Overview

Changes to the parking arrangements for blue badge users mean that parking is now in the main car park with a Shuttle Bus for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and that allows standing persons to get on board oto if unable to use the steps. Visitors with blue badges can still be dropped off at the House but that vehicle then has to return to the car park. This seems very reasonable to me but if you have concerns speak to the staff before your visit.

Transport & Parking

4.5

Car park changes made and provision of a Shuttle Bus on demand for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and a tail lift that someone can stand on for access to the bus too if unable to use the steps. I was dropped off by taxi which then waited for me in the car park. I returned to it using the Shuttle Bus but the House staff would have radioed the Welcome Centre to send the taxi back to me too if I had asked. There is a bus stop outside, Johnson's No. 6 that runs between Stratford upon Avon and Banbury.

Access

4.5

Low gradient ramp to the very wide front door, which has a push pad for access but there's usually House staff nearby to open it for you. After a large reception room you then go into a busy area with the Shop in front of you, Compton Kitchen to the left and an Accessible Toilet in between!

Toilets

Previously commented and Euan's card installed, no changes needed.

Everyone very friendly, nearby if required but not intrusive. Ask if you need anything and they will help.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

Only a short visit looking at changes to the parking and Shuttle Bus provision. I'll be back to see the new Exhibition soon.
