    Good

    The distillery was built in 1798, and thus has very limited accessibility. The visitors centre, bar, shop, warehouses and old filling centre are as accessible as possible in the circumstances. The staff are lovely, and like shooting the breeze

    There's lots of difficult bits, that make much of the distillery impossible. Steep ramps, steps, no lift No induction loop or alternative formats that I saw

    Exceptionally friendly, approachable and hospitable

    Additional Information

    The limited physical accessibility of the distillery more than made up for by the exceptionally friendly and helpful nature of the staff.
