Overall Rating
Good
I would just like to report after visiting the Kelso Garden Centre on Sunday the toilet had been repaired as promised by the Garden Centre Manager. As promised a new Emergency Red Cord had been fitted along with the Euans Guide Red Cord Card which was fitted to the previous cord. The toilet seat had been replaced which removed the Hazard it posed to a disabled person injuring themselves due to a loose toilet seat. I have a picture of the repairs which I will post on the appropriate Euans Guide web page.
Parking & Transport
Average
There are Disabled parking bays but in my opinion not enough for the size of the actual Garden Centre. There is no public transport to the garden centre and it must be a good 15 to 20 minute walk from the bus stops in Kelso town centre. There is no train station in Kelso. The doors and aisles are very wide to allow wheelchair access but in the actual dining area space is very tight for a walking aid, wheelchair or mobility scooter. There is only one Disabled toilet which is shared by a baby changing facility which is not enough in my opinion as you can`t use the normal toilets as the doors are very narrow.
