Access Statement

Cilgwri, Glanrafon, Corwen, LL21 0HA

Approach and Parking

The B&B is signposted at the junction of a side lane and the A494. The side lane is approximately 300m long with a farm gate (usually kept closed) half way along.

At the end of the side road is another sign for Cilgwri with an arrow pointing over a cattle grid and down the private road. This road consists of 2 strips of tarmac with grass in between and is approximately 600m long with a further 2 cattle grids and 2 more farm gates. These gates are often kept open. The access lane and private road are fairly level and unlit.

At the property there is a turning area and a gate leading to a short concrete ramp down to the visitors' parking place. Visitors are advised not to park outside the gate in the turning area as cattle can sometimes be present and they could cause damage to unattended vehicles.

The Main Entrance

This is only a few yards from the car and is accessed on level ground over gravel and slate flag stones. There is a small porch leading the the front door into the reception hall. Inside the hallway is a single wide, 11cm step down. The flooring comprises of slate slabs with a rug. The rest of the ground floor is level.

Downstairs Accommodation

The kitchen is off the hallway and leads to the visitors' sitting room. The kitchen is floored with polished stone while the sitting room is fully carpeted. The narrowest doorway is 78cm wide.

Access to Guests Bedroom

This is via an 11 step wooden staircase from the kitchen and a small landing. Both stairs and landing are well lit. Once on the landing the upstairs accommodation is all at one level.

Guests' Bedroom

This contains a double bed with normal bedroom furnishing on polished wooden floor boards and bedside rugs.  The en-suite shower room is well lit and tiled throughout with extractor fan, electric shaver point and under floor heating.  Both shower and sink taps are protected by thermostatic valves.

Grounds

The majority of the grounds are flat and level and visitors are welcome to enjoy the paddock and woodland. However, for part of the year the woodland and other areas are wet and wellingtons will be needed.

Honey bees are kept near the paddocks and at times, when they are active, anyone nervous of bees should keep to the opposite boundary when accessing the paddock. The apiary is posted with a warning sign. If anyone would like to see the bees at close quarters a veil can be provided and a hive opened, weather permitting. Wellingtons would be needed.

Other farm animals are all safe and healthy but we would advise visitors to wash their hands after handling them. There are no large animals or rams.

Guests with young children should note there is a substantial stream running along the boundary of the property (outside the perimeter fence) and a small brook and standing water within the grounds. There is also a partly-built structure at the Southern end of the property.

Surroundings

The neighbouring farmland is criss-crossed with footpaths and guests may enjoy walking locally. We ask that visitors respect the country code and close all gates behind them, climb fences only where styles are provided and try not to disturb animals too much, especially sheep at lambing time.

There are wonderful views from the old Roman road which traverses the hill in front of the house.
