Overall Rating
Excellent
In a bid to find more activities that we could do together (able bodied & tetraplegic) this was our first attempt! It was brilliant. We signed up to join the 90 min family canoe session. They had a seat which they fitted to the canoe to provide support & stability. Such lovely staff too!
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
No hoist & no accessible path down to the water, however all the staff were eager to help out and make things possible. As well as the activity leader an extra person was on hand to help make the lift from the wheelchair to the canoe. A seat was attached to the canoe to provide support & stability.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
We mentioned needing access to the rear of the car so were given a spot with plenty of space. In conversation the staff also mentioned that we could have driven down to the water if necessary (there was a short compact gravel path from the activity centre to the water)
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
A basic loo with level access and room for a wheelchair was available
Staff
Excellent
So friendly and eager to help.
Additional Information
The seat attached to the canoe hadn't yet been used for kayaking but we made the recommendation as have done this elsewhere before.
