Accessibility & Inclusion
At The Four Bells Glamping, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing stay in nature. We are committed to making our site as welcoming and accessible as possible, while being honest about the practical limitations of a rural glamping site located within a natural meadow environment.
We understand that accessibility requirements vary greatly from person to person. If you have any questions about whether our site is suitable for your individual needs, we encourage you to contact us before booking. We will always do our best to provide accurate information and help you make an informed decision.
Website Accessibility
We want information about The Four Bells Glamping to be accessible to as many people as possible.
We make every reasonable effort to ensure that our website is easy to use, straightforward to navigate, and accessible across a range of devices and technologies. This includes seeking to maintain compatibility with common screen readers and other accessibility tools wherever practical.
As a small independent business, we recognise that there may be occasions where parts of the website could be improved. If you experience any difficulties accessing information, completing a booking, or using any part of our website, please contact us and we will be happy to provide information in an alternative format or assist you directly.
We are committed to continually reviewing and improving the accessibility of our website wherever reasonably possible.
Access and Parking
- There is ample on-site parking available for guests.
- All guest facilities at The Four Bells Glamping are located at ground level.
- A ramp provides step-free access from the car park to our communal facilities, including the communal kitchen and bathroom block.
- Accommodation is accessed on foot from the parking area. The walking distance varies by unit, with the furthest accommodation located approximately 100 metres from the car park.
- The site is designed to minimise changes in elevation wherever possible.
The Nature of the Site
The Four Bells Glamping is situated within a natural meadow setting. In order to preserve the character of the landscape and support local wildlife, some areas of the site feature grass pathways, uneven ground, natural dips, and softer surfaces.
Whilst many guests navigate the site comfortably, these natural features may present challenges for some individuals with mobility requirements. We encourage guests to contact us if they would like more detailed information about specific areas of the site.
Accommodation
Hundred Acre View
Hundred Acre View was designed with accessibility in mind and includes:
- A spacious bathroom with additional manoeuvring space that may be helpful for some wheelchair users and guests with reduced mobility.
- Minimal changes in floor level throughout the accommodation.
- Ground-level access to key living spaces.
Whilst we have sought to make the accommodation easier to navigate, we recommend discussing any specific requirements with us before booking.
Geodesic Dome
The Geodesic Dome benefits from a larger internal floor area due to its design, providing additional space for movement within the accommodation. Some guests with mobility requirements may find this helpful, although suitability will depend on individual circumstances.
Beds
All accommodation units feature relatively low beds. Many guests find these easier to access when transferring from a wheelchair or when mobility is limited, although individual requirements may vary.
Neurodiversity, SEND and Sensory Considerations
Our accommodation units are intentionally spaced apart, creating a peaceful environment with plenty of personal space between guests.
Many visitors appreciate the quieter atmosphere and reduced proximity to neighbouring accommodation, which some individuals with sensory sensitivities, autism, ADHD, or other SEND requirements may find more comfortable and relaxing.
Santa Maria Enclosed Garden
Santa Maria benefits from a fully enclosed garden area. Guests have regularly commented that this provides additional peace of mind, particularly for families with young children or those who may be prone to wandering.
Whilst the enclosed space may be beneficial for some guests, we are unable to guarantee safety in all circumstances and appropriate supervision remains the responsibility of guests and carers.
Assistance During Your Stay
We understand that some guests may require additional assistance during their stay, particularly when arriving, departing, or moving luggage around the site.
As a family-run business, we live very close by and are always happy to help where we can. If you require assistance with luggage or have any accessibility-related concerns during your stay, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Our contact details can be found in our digital guidebook, which is sent to guests approximately one week before arrival. We are also available by phone throughout your stay should you need support or assistance.
Hot Tubs
All hot tubs are accessed via standard steps.
Unfortunately, we do not currently provide hoists, transfer equipment, lifts, or other specialist apparatus to assist guests in entering or exiting the hot tubs. Guests should therefore consider whether they can use these facilities safely and comfortably, either independently or with assistance from members of their own party.
Creating a Welcoming Environment
At The Four Bells Glamping, we want every guest to feel welcome, respected, and comfortable during their stay.
We are proud to welcome people from all backgrounds, cultures, faiths, identities, abilities, and life experiences. We believe that kindness, respect, and consideration for others help create the relaxed and friendly atmosphere that our guests value.
As a guest, you can help us maintain this environment by:
- Treating fellow guests and our team with courtesy and respect.
- Being mindful that people may have different needs, experiences, and ways of enjoying their stay.
- Showing patience, kindness, and understanding towards others.
- Speaking to us if you experience or witness behaviour that makes you or another guest feel uncomfortable.
- Sharing feedback on how we can continue improving our site and guest experience.
Diversity and Inclusion
The Four Bells Glamping is a place where everyone should feel welcome, valued, and able to relax comfortably.
We proudly welcome guests from all backgrounds and celebrate the diversity of the people who stay with us. Regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, neurodiversity, or personal background, every guest deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
We ask all guests to help us maintain the warm and inclusive atmosphere that is central to our site by treating others with kindness, consideration, and respect at all times.
Discrimination, harassment, bullying, or abusive behaviour of any kind is not tolerated at The Four Bells Glamping. Our aim is to provide a safe, welcoming environment where everyone can enjoy time in nature and create positive memories with friends and family.
Contact Us
We recognise that accessibility is highly individual, and no written statement can cover every requirement. Guests with specific mobility, sensory, neurodiverse, or accessibility requirements are encouraged to contact us before booking so that we can discuss the location of individual units, site conditions, and any other factors that may help determine whether The Four Bells Glamping is suitable for their needs.
We will always be happy to discuss your requirements openly and honestly so that you can make an informed decision about your stay.
