Overall Rating
Excellent
Superb! Staff couldn't have been kinder or more helpful. We had a trip for 4 of us in the accessible motor boat for 2 hours. Kerry piloted the boat, pointed out places of interest and answered all our queries. Our wheelchair user had no problems whatsoever with accessing the boat. We were blessed with a sunny day in May... does help! Mylor provided us with good waterproofs and life jackets etc. We dressed warmly - lots of jumpers and thick trousers - and were fine. You got an occasional splash from a big wave but no problems! Parking was on site and free - Mylor provides a note to place on the dashboard.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
The front of the boat is like a roll on ferry. The Mylor Sailing School website has pictures. Very simple to access. No steps. Signage at entrance to carpark states Mylor name clearly. Mylor harbour is small so you can't get lost!
Parking & Transport
Excellent
See above - Mylor arranged it and we parked right beside them. Flat surfaces. No problems. We arrived by car - can't comment on public transport.
Accessible Toilets
Good
The loo is some 400 yards away. Mylor gives you a code. There is a wheelchair accessible shower and loo in the same room - it was clean and had good griprails for the loo. (Didn't use the shower so can't comment). Best to visit beforehand as obviously a small boat has no facilities.
Staff
Excellent
Tracey was extremely helpful and friendly, both on the day and beforehand when making enquiries and booking. Kerry made the trip so much more interesting with her information and comments - a delightful young lady.
Additional Information
We all really enjoyed the trip and were so glad we'd decided to go. You make a donation to the charity to cover their costs - Tracey will explain. Have a look at their website - photos give a good idea of what it's like.
