There is free parking at Tabley House. Entry by the normal route includes a walk of about 300 yards from the car park and 26 steps. There is an alternative north entrance which involves going through the ground floor nursing home sitting room and ascending in a small lift with a capacity for one wheelchair or four people. It is possible for people to be dropped off via the nursing home car park, but the vehicle would then need to be parked in the normal visitor car park.

The welcoming cup of tea/ coffee is normally served in the chapel, access to this involves about three steps. The tea room is about 50 yards from the house and access is via two short flights of steps. Ramps are available.
