Access Statement

The Wilton 

At The Wilton , we aim to ensure that all our guests have comfortable facilities and are made to feel welcome. We have developed this access statement to address some of the more common issues that disabled people face.

The access statement is intended to provide additional information for all guests who wish to attend the hotel or use its facilities.

Additional Notes:

We are committed to providing a high level of customer service. Whilst the physical limitations of the existing
building may impose some constraints on what we are able to do, we fully intend to comply with
current regulations and good practice.

The nature of the building means it is impossible to make access to upper floor bedrooms accessible without stairs.

We aims to ensure that all employees, guests and others, who use or assist in the provision of our
services, are treated equally & according to their needs.

We request that anyone wishing to make an enquiry or booking inform us of any special needs or disabilities that
they may have in order for us to meet any special requirements and advise as best as possible

If you require any further information relating to accessibility, please do not hesitate to contact us by
phone, on: 01253 346673 or email: enquiries@thewiltonhotel.co.uk or of course in person & we will do our best to
answer your query.
