This was a short and sweet visit to the Isle of Harris gin distillery, but it left an impression. Sadly didn't have time to do a tour, so this review is of the ground floor lounge and shop.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Ramped entrance and two doors - one with automatic push pad. Once inside you are met with a roaring fire, spacious ground floor area and comfy seats. There was a tactile mini-exhibit and, of course, the gin shop. You can also visit the canteen on the ground floor. I'd also like to mention the helpful information Isle of Harris Distillery share on their website about disabled access. It's not buried away in some hard to find location - it is conveniently placed on their contact page which I thought was refreshing for a visitor attraction's website! It's certainly a long distance to travel from most places if you're in two minds about whether it's going to be accessible or not, so I was pleased to be able to find this info so easily beforehand.
Parking & Transport
Good
Plenty of car parking spaces beside the distillery, but watch out for the stoney road surface in the larger car park.
Accessible Toilets
0I didn't use these but they are on the lower and upper levels of the distillery.
Staff
0Did not speak to any staff although they were easily visible and approachable.
