Beth Eden Guest House Access Statement
Beth Eden aims to welcome all people to our guest house and tea rooms, including those with disabilities.
We have experience in serving people with a variety of disabilities, but in order to give the best possible service, we do like to be informed before people arrive. This can be via the booking enquiry form, email, or over the phone. Unfortunately, restrictions within the building prohibit some severely disabled people from staying here and using our facilities.
As a Christian run establishment we believe our general approach to all guests will prove our empathy to all who visit us with regards to their needs be they physical or spiritual. We provide a pastoral minister for most weeks of the main season to cover the spiritual aspect of our service.
Guide dogs and dogs for the disabled are allowed throughout the building, but pets are not permitted.
The premises are staffed 24 hours a day. There is a bell in reception which can be used to summon the owners in an emergency at night. Most of the house has mobile phone reception.
