Overall Rating
Excellent
Marlow Rowing Club is well equipped for both able bodied and disabled visitors. As a rowing club Marlow provides everything from learn to row courses through to championship squads. The building has a fabulous club room which is available to hire for functions with stunning views of the Thames, the picturesque bridge at Marlow and All Saint's Church.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Although the building is across 3 floors there is a lift to access all floors. There is dedicated changing and shower room for disabled visitors and a seperate disabled toilet on the first floor next to the gym. All of the facilities and toilets are well signed. Doors are wide and easily opened. Floors are hard and corridors are kept free of clutter. There is step free access throughout the club even down to the pontoons on the river. Basically there is no impedement to access. It's so refereshing to go to a club that is fully accessible.
