accessibility at byron

At present Byron has no apartments which are fully dedicated or adapted for disabled requirements.

The only apartments at Byron which can be reached without lift or stair access from the car park are 15 and 17 Woolacombe.

4 – 12 Woolacombe require step access from the car park to the front door. These are duplex apartments and have stairs inside. 16-20 Woolacombe can be accessed via a lift, they have no stairs inside.

1 – 3 Woolacombe West and 1 – 5 Rockham require step access from the car park to the front door. They can be accessed via a lift, they have no stairs inside.

We are able to offer apartments in the Challacombe, Middlecombe and Putsborough block which are on the ground floor of their respective block, however, these are only accessible by lifts from the underground car park. These apartments have no stairs within the apartments but do require mobility within the apartment and from the lift for access.

We do not recommend guests with mobility issues staying on apartments above the ground floor in the case of the unlikely event of issue with a specific lift in the apartment building or in the risk of fire.

Please note children must be supervised at all times when using the lift. The use of lifts cannot be guaranteed due to mechanical failures which can occur. Please note, no compensation will be offered in the event of the failure of any lift during your stay.

Many of our beds are ‘zip and link’.

We do not have fully adapted bathrooms but the en-suite bathrooms have
showers which have a small step up to the shower tray. Most family bathrooms have a bath with a shower over the top
