This Co-op is pretty well stocked and very busy, which is great, given it is the only supermarket on the island! We popped in for some essentials and picked up what we needed but the toilet appeared to be condemned as it was cordoned off with yellow tape!
Disabled Access In and Around
Average
There are automatic doors at the entrance and there is enough space for a manual wheelchair, powerchair or scooter user. Stock is held on shelves, the top row of which I could not reach from my chair. I found the self-service checkout accessible enough, but I did need to stretch over slightly. I did not notice any use of alternative formats, but there is a hearing loop at the kiosk, which suggests there may be one at the other checkouts.
Accessible facilities: Single-level venue, Step-free entrance
Parking & Transport
Average
I travelled to this place by personal vehicle
There is a large car park at the Co-op with two accessible parking spaces and a parent and child space out front. The bays are clearly marked, with clearance space on either side.
Accessible facilities: Drop-off or pick up point, Dedicated on-site parking
Accessible Toilets
Hard to say! The toilets were taped off like a Halloween display, with yellow tape and the words ‘DO NOT ENTER’ written repeatedly. I’m unsure if this is a permanent thing, but they definitely wanted to make it clear that the toilets were closed.
Staff
Good
Staff were helpful, though there didn't seem to be enough of them for the demands of the store as we were held at self service for ages.
