Overall Rating

Excellent

An absolutely fabulous experience. From the warm welcome through to the great Access booklet, easy access to building and lovely staff!

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

Beamish provide disabled visitors with an excellent booklet describing the access features and facilities. The majority of buildings are accessible. Sometimes the level Access is via an alternative entrance but this was clearly described and worked well.

Parking & Transport

Excellent

Parking was in a dedicated accessible parking area adjacent to the main entrance.

Accessible Toilets

Excellent

There are plenty of toilets located throughout the site. The accessible toilets were fine, spacious and easy to access. A larger toilet with changing bench is located in the entrance complex next to the main cafe.

Staff

Excellent

Staff were fantastic. All with a warm welcome and enthusiasm to talk about the area they were in and answer questions.

Additional Information
