Overall Rating
Average
This ferry terminal runs services to Hunter’s Quay in Dunoon across the Firth of Clyde, providing 20 minute crossings that run 365 days a year and depart roughly every 30 minutes. The ferry transports both car and foot passengers. There are several standard parking spaces and two accessible parking spaces, though they are not particularly accessible. The layout is simple, making it fairly easy to navigate.
Disabled Access In and Around
Average
The access offers little to write home about, but there are zebra crossings and dropped kerbs on one side, and a ramp on the other. Getting to the ferry on wheels is all downhill, which is fun on the way out, but maybe not so much on the way back. Signage is minimal and there are no alternative formats in use. Staff can provide assistance where needed but it It is recommended that passengers notify Western Ferries in advance if this is the case.
Accessible facilities: Single-level venue, Step-free entrance
Parking & Transport
Average
I travelled to this place by personal vehicle
There are two accessible parking spaces that can barely be described as such. One sits on the left side and the other on the right. The left space has undersized hatched markings to the left and the right space has the same markings to the right. To make things even more interesting, the bays are all diagonal which makes them even more awkward. If you are travelling on the ferry in a car, there are several long lanes to queue in and staff will instruct you when boarding. There were a few taxis waiting, but I did not see any accessible taxis. There is also a bus stop with a shelter at the terminal.
Accessible Toilets
There are no toilets at this venue.
