Overview

Plenty of accessible parking at Croome Court and the entrance to the reception area is flat. It is easy to look around the RAF Defford exhibition about the second world war airbase there. The walk to the house is a little treacherous and bumpy, and downhill, but it is interesting to stop and see the church. There is a wheelchair friendly shuttle - definitely take this back up! Once at the house a lovely young man called Joe will get out the stair climber to get you both into the house and around it on the indoor version. Everyone around wanted to have a go! Exhibitions change throughout the year. There are induction loops and braille guides to tell you about the house. I could go everywhere in my chair thanks to the stairclimber. The cafes are easy to get in and out. The only accessible toilet is at reception, but downstairs at the house the lovely young lady in the cafe stood guard while my husband took me into the Ladies - and there was enough space for the chair and manoeuvring.

Transport & Parking

All accessible though a bit stoney. There is a wheelchair friendly shuttle between reception and the house.

Access

Lots of steps at the house but all are accessible thanks to the indoor and outdoor stairclimber. Everyone wanted a go! Reception, RAF Deform and cafes are all accessible.

Toilets

Accessible loo at reception. Not at the house but big enough to manage with help.

Staff

All brilliant but Joe, who operates the stairclimber is fantastic.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

I expected to be stuck outside while my husband and son looked around, but this was not the case. A lovely visit out.
