Temple Lodge Club – Access Statement

At Temple Lodge Club, we are committed to making all our guests feel welcome and comfortable. We strive to ensure that everyone who stays with us, works with us, or uses our facilities is treated with fairness, respect, and consideration for their individual needs.

This Access Statement is intended to offer helpful information to all guests—particularly those with disabilities or additional access needs—so they can make informed decisions about their stay. We kindly ask that you let us know of any specific requirements or disabilities when making an enquiry or booking, so we can do our best to accommodate you. Unfortunately, due to the historic nature of our building, there are no rooms available with step-free access.
