Access statement to Settle Lodge

Introduction

Settle Lodge is 7 bedroom guest house located 5 minutes walk from the market square of Settle and the station. Built in 1896 there are some features which might make access difficult for people with limited mobility. The guest house is accessed by climbing 4 steps to the front door plus a further step on the path from the car park. There are 4 rooms at first-floor level and 3 rooms at second-floor level. None of the rooms are suitable for wheelchair access.

Settle is a market town lying on the outskirts of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The railway station provides good rail links to the rest of the country as well as being the start of the famous Settle-Carlisle line which many regard as the most scenic railway line in England. It is one of the hubs of puplic transport in the area and so makes an ideal base for those who wish to leave their car at home. The town offers a good mix of interesting shops and restaurants along with several fine old pubs which serve a good selection of Yorkshire brewed ales and excellent food.
 
Settle Lodge is an ideal base from which to explore the breathtaking and dramatic scenery of The Yorkshire Dales.
