Bay Rose House, Cheddar, Somerset Mendip Room
The Mendip Room is a double room on the ground floor and suitable for disabled guests. It is at one end of the property, entered via a separate front door, so whilst we will doubtless see you around and about, and are usually on hand if you need us, you are pretty much self-contained and don't need to worry about intruding in domestic areas of the house. If you need a cot or a highchair, we can provide one, also provided in the room is a television and hairdryer, reading material and tea/coffee making facilities. Ironing and washing facilities are also available.
There
is a cosy guests' lounge area with comfy armchairs and a sofa around a hydronic
stove, a large television and shelves of local interest books, plus
leaflets on things to do while you are with us, an internet connection and
a stack of board games too.
Please check the information regarding off-peak breakfasts before making a booking.
Formerly a living room from when this was a row of cottages,
it
still retains its stone fireplace and has been recently redecorated. The room
looks out onto the front lawn and has a small corner en-suite w/c shower and
washbasin room with luxury toiletries provided. In the main room there is an
antique wardrobe, chair and coffee table. It will take a maximum of two
persons and a travel cot only. The bed is a comfortable metal-framed double,
and same-sex sharing is by no means unusual (sorry, we
can't do a twin room). The room leads off the guests lounge and is suitable
for people who are disabled and/or who prefer not to use stairs. 
The
room is fully carpeted, with central heating (and extra blankets provided
for those colder winter nights), plus a miniature fridge.
PRICES for September 2008 onwards:
Double: £69 per night. Single: £45 per night. Price includes
cooked or continental breakfast. There is no VAT on any of our prices. Discounts

SOFTER BEDS
Our beds have medium-firmness mattresses, however if you require
something softer, we can fit a soft mattress topper on the bed if you let
us know in advance.
EXTRA INFORMATION FOR DISABLED
VISITORS
The Mendip Room is about 30 to 40 yards from the car
park, accessed from there via a ramp (slightly steeper than a regular wheelchair
ramp), along the front of the house, in through the door of the conservatory
(where breakfast is served) and through the guests lounge - there are no stairs
involved. We have some portable ramps to help get wheelchairs in smoothly over
the conservatory door threshold. A person seated in a wheelchair can go right
into the room. A folded wheelchair can be stored in the room, and a non-folding/electric
wheelchair can be parked in the conservatory if required. The bed is a standard
double and has a firm to medium mattress. The distance from the bed to the
en-suite facility is just a couple of paces. The wc and shower have adjacent
grab rails and it is only a step or two between the WC, shower and handbasin.
An electric shaver point is also provided. There is a step of about 9 inches
to get over the lip of the shower tray.
