Unfortunately, the terraced nature of the site and historic character of the building means that the guest house has so far been unable to provide ramped access, and does not have a lift. Guests should be aware that all bedrooms are accessed via the staircases. The path from the front gate includes several sets of steps, and there is a flight of steps from the car park.

Please note that the Kingsholm has no special facilities for children and does not offer a reduced tariff.
