Overall Rating

Excellent

Once attached the motor to my manual chair the hill wasn’t an issue. They made accommodations to using the site with a lift in the mill, ramps, and a changing place. The mill itself was great, loved the water mill, the Apprentice House, the guide was great, and yes the cafe was good

Disabled Access In and Around

Good

There is a shuttle, but I used the motorised wheel added to my chair to get up and down the hill. The Apprentice House tour has an upstairs, but I was given an iPad to see that part of the tour. The mill was pretty well accessible with the lift to all floors, helpful staff, the only hiccup was if a demonstration was given other visitors tended to stand in front of me so I couldn’t get a clear view.

Parking & Transport

Good

Lots of parking for Blue Badge holders Not sure about other ways of getting there.

Accessible Toilets

Good

The changing place was great, except the bed was at a fixed height and did not go up and down.

Staff

Excellent

Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
