Access Statement For Chichester Guest House 2007
Introduction
The Chichester is a large terraced house with seven UPSTAIRS bedrooms providing
accommodation and breakfast from March to October.
Pre-Arrival
We need to be told before you arrive if you have any special needs and requirements as there are just the two of us
running our guest house. This includes food preferences, extra pillows, special needs etc
We can be contacted by email, phone using BT's specialist services and snail mail. We have a large
print brochure and a section on our web site which is in large print and can be enlarged
Newquay is a cliff top town overlooking the beaches which mostly have steep access via slopes or stairs
Porth Beach and Fistral Beach are the only ones with car parking facilities and fairly easy flattish
access and are a ten minute drive from our house
Our house is on the ridge that backs the town so is up a hill. The nearest bus stop is 5 minutes away and there are bus and railway stations down the hill about 7 minutes away from us
Most local people with problems walking use local taxis - some taxi phone numbers - 01637 851234, 01637 855000, 01637 830637 - if any of these are no longer valid please contact me and I will furnish other taxi numbers.
There is a doctors surgery in the street - 01637 878383 below our house and a cottage hospital at the end of the same road - St. Thomas's Road
Newquay *has a variety of places to eat out with varying levels of access.
In summer Newquay gets very busy and parking in town by shops etc can be difficult. We do not provide collection services for guests. Some
mobility equipment can be hired from the British Red Cross but has to be collected - phone 0845 3315000.
We are told that Newquay does not operate the Radar Key Scheme.

Centre on 01637 854020.
