Gunsgreen House

Although this is old house, it has been equipped for wheelchair access, and all levels of the house are accessible. There is a separate entrance for wheelchair users (could be more clearly signposted, and a pothole at the door isn't clever). The staff are friendly and helpful, signposting to a lift and making themselves available for access. Good to see a lift and access to such an old property

Disabled Access at Gunsgreen House

Our disabled access is not the most straightforward unfortunately, purely due to the nature of this being an old historic house. The entrance level of the house is from ground level on the harbourside (from which their is ramped access from the car park), after this their is ground level entry to the next floor via an outdoor ramp, and then lift access to the floor above. Our staff are very happy to assist.
