We have a step-free route around the garden, although as the garden is situated across a slope, there is an incline to get from the bottom to the top.

The path surfaces vary between small gravel chip, bark path and grass.

We do not have level access into our tearoom, but if the weather is mild, refreshments can be enjoyed at our tables on the lawn, which is accessible.
