Access Statement Broad Chalke, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP5 5LU.
Introduction We aim to cater for the needs and comfort of all the guests staying at our farmhouse, which has three bedrooms available. The following statement is a summary of our provision. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to contact us and we will endeavour to help.
Pre-Arrival
We advise guests that, because of our rural location, they will need their own vehicle, bicycle or horse. Public transport is remote and infrequent. Guests for weddings in the locality may wish to use a local taxi service. Brochures and menus can be provided in large print by prior arrangement. Our website conveys our full service and will help in displaying our rooms. It also contains an on-line booking facility, but for those who have particular needs we recommend that bookings should be made by e-mail or by telephone, so that these may be recognised and may be met wherever possible. We may be contacted via our website, also by e-mail, telephone and fax (details below).
Arrival & Car Parking Facilities
We strongly recommend that guests arriving for the first time should print off the “directions” page from our website. It gives clear instructions and a map, as well as our post code and bearings for sat/nav and GPS. In-drive parking bays are provided on a tarmac surface with a gentle slope. From the driveway, one entrance is down one 130mm step and the other is down three 130mm steps. Assistance with luggage can be given.
Main Entrance & Reception
There are two entrances: one to the B&B wing with its double room (no 1) and its twin room (no 2), whilst the other entrance serves one double room (no 3) which is within the main part of the house.

A 13 step staircase (78mm wide) to the two bedrooms (Nos 1 & 2) lies to the left immediately inside the entrance door and turns through 90 degrees within the first four steps. A banister post is on the upward RH, while the remaining 9 steps of straight stairway have a banister on the upward RH.
