Introduction
We are a 5 bedroom guest house, in a coastal seaside town. We are in Kings Road West; a central route into Swanage. The house was built in the 1920’s, and is over 90 years old. Whilst we aim to meet the needs of all our guests, the period features will make access for less able bodied guests difficult. We have no ground floor WC’s or ground floor rooms, so this will make it difficult for wheelchair users and less mobile guests.
