1. Introduction
This Statement describes the facilities and procedure employed at the Lion
Hotel.
2. Accessibility to Main Building: The main building includes the lounge, bars
and restaurant and first, second, and third floor accommodation. There is no
accommodation on the ground floor. We have a large car park surfaced with
tarmac within 19 meters of the hotel back door accessed by a full flight of
concrete steps ( 13 steps in total) which have a
hand rail to one side. The back door is 840mm wide. The car park can be
accessed on a flat surface around the side of the hotel which is a distance
of 57 meters from the front door. The main front door has a sill of 60mm and
is 780mm wide.
3. Accessibility within Main Building: There are no steps within the ground
floor area except for access to the restaurant & entertainment area. Here
there are two shallow steps with a handrail to one side. There is also a
removable ramp available for wheelchair users. From the lounge area access to
the main bar is easiest for wheelchair users through the cocktail bar where
the doorway leading from the lounge is 800mm wide and the cocktail bar
doorway is 740mm wide. Stairs lead off the lounge to all floors for
accommodation. There is also a lift, which is accessed through the 800mm
doorway to the rear of the lounge. This doorway does have a small threshold
of 20mm. The lift serves the ground floor, 1st and 2nd floors only. The
access door to the lift is 690mm wide and the lift has an overall depth of
1240mm. There are ladies and gents toilets situated in the bar and also by
the back door with one of these by the back door being adapted for wheelchair
users. Bedrooms on the first and second floor are on various levels with
steps up and down on both these floors. Handrails are fixed on one side of
all steps and contrast nosing is fixed to the edge of steps on a straight run
to emphasis them. Fluorescent lighting is on all corridors without natural
lighting. A double room that is on a level with the lift on the first floor
has been adapted for wheelchair users. This has a ramped shower tray and
shower chair and hand grab rails around the toilet. The main bedroom doorway
is 750mm wide. All other room doorways vary from between 700mm and 800mm.
4. Accessibility to
Castle View Cottage: This is an annexe to the main hotel and contains six
ground floor rooms and six first floor rooms. Four of the ground floor rooms
are accessed off the car park with parking available directly outside these
rooms. The remaining two ground floor rooms are in a separately entranced
block with two identical rooms above accessed by one full flight of stairs.
All ground floor rooms have a deep threshold of 22mm. The outer doors are
790mm wide and inner doors are 780mm wide. Four of the first floor rooms are
accessed from a gantry with a full flight of steps. All first floor rooms
have a threshold of 22mm. The outer doors are 790mm and the inner doors are
780mm wide.
5. Accessibility to Garden:
The hotel has a beer garden situated on the south
side of the main building. This is accessed via French windows from the
restaurant down a flight of six slate steps. There is also an entrance from
the public footpath from the adjacent road and this has been improved by the
provision of a double gate and a ramped access from the gate onto the grass
of the lower garden. Tables and removable chairs are laid out on the lawns.
6. Emergency Actions: All floors of both the main building and the Castle View
Cottage have audible fire alarms. Emergency lighting is also fitted to all
the corridors. It is the responsibility of the management to ensure that all
guests are evacuated in the event of any emergency requiring evacuation. We
do ask in our ‘Welcome’ literature that any specific needs be advised to Reception
so that they are aware of them and that they can deal with them in the event
of an emergency evacuation.
