This place was recommended to me as a nice place for a walk that was pretty accessible. I had a day off so my dad and I thought we'd check it out. What a lovely place. Oodles of walks and mountain bike trails meander through the woods around the loch. Some of them are tarred, some more natural. There's a wee visitors centre at the start with a cafe and a changing places style toilet. There was a drive deck available - looked like a trolley that turned a manual chair into an electric one (see pic). Outside is a wee beach area with fab play park with accessible equipment and a sailing club. We chose the 3.5mile walk around the loch. The first part was tarred and flat, however it did get steeper and more of a woodland track half way round. Nothing incredibly hard but I think a manual chair with little wheels might struggle a bit with the stones. At one point there was loose cows too! Would have stayed for lunch however their card machine was broken (I never have cash) and from what I seen service was extremely slow.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Access to reception very easy, electric doors and ramp. Took a star off for some of the trails being a little more natural and so unsuitable for some.

Plenty of disabled parking right next to the visitors centre and cafe.

Excellent toilet with hoist and changing table. Is accessed via radar key, one is available at reception if needed.
