The original part of the Dinorben Arms Hotel is an old town house built in the seventeenth
century during the mid-Georgian Period. In the early nineteenth century it was converted to an
hotel.We bought the Dinorben in 2004 and when the Disability Act 2005 came into effect the building
was inspected by the Local Authority Disability Officer and we were given an exemption under
the relevant Disability Acts due to the architectural features and listing of the building.

All our accommodation is on the first floor which is accessed by a staircase of twenty
steps, which are wide and have a height of about 8″ (20cm) for each step. There is no lift
or aids to ascend or descend this staircase.

There are four entrances which provide access to the building:
Main entrance, at the front of the hotel which is located at the end of the High Street & Queens
Street and abuts onto Dinorben Square, directly opposite, St. Eleth Church. There is time
limited parking available, 40 minutes if parking between the times of 09:00 & 18:00 (No return
within 1 hour). The reception is directly in front of you when you enter, there is one step. A
temporary ramp is available, please ask a member of staff to put it out for you.

The entrance just off Mona Street is currently not in use.

The entrance between the Dinorben & Vet (The Old Dinorben Coach House) is open during
licensing hours and has two steps.
