Accessible toilet is Ok, not particularly large and entry is around a couple of corners.

Very helpful and very used to accommodating wheelchair users.
Additional Information
The toning tables and chairs are a form of gentle exercise, so very suitable for those with limited mobility; the machine does the work and gently moves you rather than you having to do everything! All the chairs and tables are fully accessible via an easy to use hoist. If you intend to use the hoist you must provide your own sling and bring a carer who will operate it, or you could perhaps do it yourself. The staff at the centre do not operate it for you, they have neither the time nor the training.
