There are a number of wheelchair accessible rooms in the hotel these are made up of double and twin bed. The room we had was fine with room for the chair to turn etc. The wet floor bathroom had a good fold down chair with arm rest in the shower. There were 2 red cords in the toilet and one in the bedroom area sadly these were tied up or I would have been happy to score them 5.
