Overall Rating
Good
To travel on the ferry to Barra you'd probably have to board as a foot passenger as car passengers have to go up lots of stairs and there wouldn't be any room between the cars for a wheelchair to pass through. There are some small 'lips'. This isn't ideal for people using their cars to travel, if they have limited mobility - it's wise to speak to someone ahead of travelling or boarding. Aside from this, there is decent access in terms of getting to the cafe, canteen and other facilities as they are on the level you board on foot. There's a Changing Places Toilet on board at this level too.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Cafe, canteen and Changing Places Toilet are all on the level you board as a foot passenger. There are wheelchairs available to use, and a lift that is operable by staff. There's disabled seating available too, signposted.
Parking & Transport
Average
Parking is good but the access from the parking to the rest of the ferry isn't ideal. Boarding as foot passenger is probably easier in terms of getting on to the ferry. Probably better to request assistance in advance.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
There's a large Changing Places Toilet on board at the level foot passengers board.
Staff
Good
Helpful staff as far as we could tell, though we didn't require assistance.
