Tŷ Newydd is a Grade II* listed building, part of which dates back to the fifteenth century. However, recent renovations made to the building in 2005 have enabled access to the main areas of the historic house, grounds and outbuildings for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility.
There are two car parks at Tŷ Newydd, and two disabled parking spaces. From the main car park a level footpath leads all the way to the front door of the conservatory, a distance of approximately 15 metres. From there (the ground floor) access can be gained in a lift to the lower floor and through a door to the Hall where workshops are held and all meals are served. The lift also provides access to the basement floor (and disabled toilet), to the Tŷ Newydd Shop on the upper floor, and through a door to the Library. Most group sessions are held in the Hall or Library. From the lower floor, access can be gained to the gardens through a set of double doors.
From the upper car park, a gentle sloping path leads to the specially adapted bedroom. There is also a level path all the way around to the Reception door, a distance of approximately 40 metres.
Our specially adapted bedroom is situated to the front of Hafoty – our outbuilding just across the yard from the historic house. It is suitable for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility, with a specially adapted wet room next door fitted with a shower, washbasin and W.C.
Our publicity material is available in large print on request.
