I used the facilities during a recent trip to the Isle of Lewis. In an unlikely turn of events, the standard toilets were out of order whilst the accessible toilet was open - makes a change! These are not the most pleasant facilities to use but I have definitely experienced worse.
Disabled Access In and Around

There is a short ramp leading up from the left-hand side of the building and two shallow steps leading up from the right. The brickwork on the ground appears to be well maintained, with no chips or potholes. Signage is minimal, with only a worn plate with a wheelchair symbol on the door and the RADAR lock to suggest this is an accessible toilet. Signage is

Accessible Toilets

A RADAR key is required to open the door, which opens inwards. The toilet is small, with little room to turn a mobility device. I would not expect a scooter to fit in here, though a powerchair might. There is space for a right-side transfer to the toilet and the space is clear, which is a good thing. There is also a colostomy shelf to the left-hand side (right if seated). The flush is high on the wall behind, to the right. The toilet pan has a white seat and white rails. The rails are attached to white tiled walls, which offers no contrast. The pan backs onto a blue wood-panelled section. There is no emergency cord, which is a major concern for me. The sink has a small basin with lever-style hot and cold taps. There is a single grab rail to the right, again attached to white tiled walls, and a mirror above, which is far too high for wheelchair users. A larger mirror is provided near the door but this is such a simple thing to get wrong.

Additional Information
I noticed a patch of black mould in the toilet.
