Overall Rating
Excellent
This was the first trip in about 2 years thanks to Covid 19, so this review may be a bit shaky! A trip out to a nearby nursery eased us back into the world gently. The first thing that was really noticeable was the size of the carpark, huge, A nice relaxed trip. The layout was all very wheelchair friendly with an easy surfaces to wheel on and wide automatic doors at the entrances. Turns out this wheelchair friendly theme extended intro the garden centre with both easy wheeling and wide aisles. Like most garden centres there was a restaurant, there was plenty of room to manoeuvre and the chair fitted nicely under the table. Food was good too.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
There are other shop on the site, not just the Garden centre, park further out and you pass them en route to the main building. We went in a couple and I don’t think I have ever seen isles so big.

Parking & Transport
Excellent
The first thing that was really noticeable was the size of the carpark, huge, and there were plenty of disabled spaces. Some of the spaces were near to the entrance/exit. The ground was my first easy to wheel on surface of the day.
Accessible Toilets
Good
There was a disabled toilet which did not require a key, good layout with plenty of room. I didn’t notice a hoist but I did notice the emergence pull cord didn’t reach the floor, but was tied up.
Staff
Good
No real contact with staff.
