FAQ's
- THE FORT BUILDING
Is the fort cold?
No, the Fort is not damp or cold. There is a powerful central heating system with thermostatically controlled radiators throughout the Fort. The Fort is in effect like an enormous storage heater - when the stone all around you is warm it will stay like that for hours and takes days to fully cool down.
We will ensure the Fort is warm when you arrive - which isn’t difficult as it’s been fully booked for many years now. Alternatively, in the summer, the Fort can be thought of as like a cave, cool whatever the weather. The timing control is found by going down the stairs outside the kitchen, turning right at the bottom and at the end of the short corridor.
Is there disabled access? Is the Fort suitable for disabled people?
There are ramps from the end of the car park down to the back door of the Fort which can be used for wheel chair access.
Once people are down in the main area, practically everything is on one level including several en-suite bathrooms which can be made available as you choose (these are not specifically fitted out for disabled people, but are generally quite suitable).
The gardens are down a flight of three steps from the main area, and if the access to the main area has been achieved, these are a minor difficulty.
The best thing to do is to come and have a look, as different disabled people have quite different attitudes to these issues.
