Visitor reception & shop

There is level access with a bell push for staff to assist you if required. There is a sloping pathway from Cottage Lane or a short level path from the Blue Badge and coach park. An accessible toilet with baby-changing facilities can be found outside and to the side of reception.

Cottage

The building is not fully accessible to visitors due to entrance steps and uneven floors. Wheelchairs and pushchairs cannot be used inside the house. A video of the interior of the house can be viewed, which will be facilitated by a member of the Anne Hathaway’s Cottage team.

Gardens

The grounds are easy to navigate with many wide, sloping pathways and occasional seating. We have a folding wheelchair that can be borrowed to use across the Anne Hathaway’s Cottage site.

Due to the current restrictions there may be some areas of the Anne Hathaway’s Cottage site that are temporarily closed, and some changes to the objects that we have on display from our museum collection.
