Overall Rating
Excellent
This is an attractive garden centre with a good selection of gifts and plants and a large cafe. It is in the countryside near East Fortune and close to North Berwick.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
It is all on the level. The inside has a smooth hard surface. Outside the main paths are paved, but there is gravel in the other areas.
Parking & Transport
Good
The car park is gravel, but it is fairly thin and well compacted so it is reasonably easy to push a wheelchair. There are some Blue Badge spaces to the left of the entrance but these are also gravel - see picture 7 We drove from the North West direction and came upon it so suddenly round a corner that I drove past by mistake. A sign indicating it is coming up would be helpful.
Accessible Toilets
Good
The accessible toilets are inside the ladies and gents which is fine for us but can be difficult if the wheelchair user's assistant is of a different sex. There are grips on both sides of the toilet and there is plenty of room. Looking at my picture it seems that the red cord has been tangled round one of the grips.
Staff
Excellent
All very pleasant and helpful.
Additional Information
The cafe is airy and spacious and has a extensive menu of hot and cold food.
