Overall Rating
Good
A great start to our Northumberland adventure - access for all, friendly staff and delicious food. I would definitely return when revisiting Northumberland
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
We both have a physical disability and were, therefore, not mindful of hearing loops, signage....... There was a large ramped path from the carpark, a small lip at the entrance door (to the restaurant and a separate door to the Bothy Bar) and very friendly staff willing to help! Once inside, the restaurant tables had all been reserved and so we were advised to use the Bothy Bar next door. This was a cosy and informal room, space was made to accommodate my powerchair.
Parking & Transport
Good
It's a very popular venue, so the carparking area (which is vast!) can get a little crowded at lunchtime. The surface is gravelly, not paved with tarmac.
Accessible Toilets
0The accessible toilet (and all the other toilets) in a very roomy toilet area was, unfortunately, accessed via the restaurant meaning a short journey outside the Bothy Bar and into the building next door. The accessible toilet had much space to manoeuvre and all was present and correct.
Staff
Excellent
The staff, especially in the Bothy Bar, were very friendly and helpful - and Sarah deserves a special mention!
Additional Information
Lunch there was at the start of our coastal exploration of Northumberland - but this was diminished by the awful weather. I would definitely recommend this venue to other visitors.
