Oh dear! I am very sorry to say that this place is definitely not wheel chair accessible. In fact, the uneven steps and small stairs which make this place unique and special make it challenging for many people who do not use a wheel chair. You could probably get into the tiny vestibule to have a look around, but would not be able to do a tour.
Q:
Is this attraction dog friendly?
A:
I believe they can be on the grounds, but not actually in the castle. You can always check out their website for more information.
