Mobility, visual or hearing needs? look out for our NAS logos
The National Accessible Scheme (NAS) is a national scheme which helps you find accommodation to suit your needs, independently assessed by trained assessors against demanding criteria. Assessed properties will have facilities such as handrails, ramps, level-access showers, hearing loops and colour contrast. There is level access to Gamekeepers Cottage, with fixed handrails in one en-suite. Detailed information can be sourced in our access statement, which you can view by following the links below.
