Marine Hotel North Berwick

I have inflammatory joint disease and significant physical fatigue Unable to manage the steps at the front of the hotel, I had to enter via the spa at the right hand side which is some distance from the disabled parking at the foot of the steps. I then had to negotiate a disabled lift with very heavy door, a corridor to the restaurant, the full length of the restaurant, the full length of the corridor to the very small lift and once upstairs, a similarly long distance to the disabled room I had booked which turned out to be at the farthest end of the hotel. This was not an enjoyable stay due to the difficulty getting in and out of the hotel and I was quickly relying on my husband pushing me in my wheelchair because I was exhausted. This was made tricky by the obstacle course of dodging tables and chairs as we negotiated our way through the restaurant and the very small lift which is only just big enough to fit one small wheelchair plus a carer. Fortunately the room was large enough to accommodate the wheelchair and the bathroom did have a suitably raised toilet and appropriately sited grab handles.

Lovely wheelchair accessible spa in a victorian hotel by the seaside. While not perfect accessibility, definitely one of the best we saw, and allowed my mum to feel pampered and glam while taking account of her needs rather than being in an industrial estate somewhere!)
