Access statement
Harrabeer Country House B&B rooms and apartments are accessible for anyone who can ascend one flight of stairs, but regrettably not suitable for wheelchair users or people with severe mobility impairment.
Our B&B bedrooms are on the first floor and accessed by a single flight of stairs, while our first floor apartment (The Hayloft) in the converted barn is accessed by a single staircase. Our ground floor apartment (The Threshing Barn) is suitable for people who can manage a single step into the apartment and step up into the shower, but is not suitable for wheelchairs.
Parking
Our private car park has space for five vehicles and allows direct access to the house and barn. It is tarmacked with a slight slope. There is one step up to the front door of the House, and one to The Threshing Barn; access to The Hayloft stairs is at ground level with no steps. There are two additional steps from the reception hall into the guest snug. We offer assistance on arrival and departure to carry luggage if required.

There is a bus stop in Yelverton village, 500 metres from the property up a steep hill, from which are frequent bus services to Plymouth (and Plymouth station), Tavistock and other local destinations.
The nearest train station, Plymouth, is 30 minutes away by car or taxi.
