Access Statement for Little Rannoch

Introduction

Little Rannoch is located on the border of Ventnor and St Lawrence and offers one private guest suite comprising a double bedroom, shower room and kitchenette/dining room.

The single-storey bungalow was built in 1937 and has been well maintained with recent refurbishment to form the guest suite. Whilst we aim to meet the needs of all of our guests there are some period features of the house and garden which might make access difficult for people with limited mobility.

The surrounding Undercliff is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Access to Ventnor’s famous Botanic Gardens is across the road from Little Rannoch with Ventnor Cricket Club and the picturesque beaches of Steephill Cove and Orchard Bay only a short walk away. The town of Ventnor is 1.75 miles which can be walked in around 30 minutes.

We look forward to welcoming you
