Overall Rating
Good
While not completely accessible without help, this was a really nice surprise. The couple that run the place were really helpful and friendly and have clearly put a lot of time and care into making it a good experience for their customers.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
There is a step up to the front door, which is about how high you would expect for a house, and the door may be slightly narrower than average. Once inside, however, I found it quite easy to get around. There is one ground floor bedroom with more up a flight of stairs. The bedroom downstairs has an en-suite bathroom and both the bedroom and bathroom were large enough to be adequate for my needs. The bathroom has a shower, however the design of the shower makes it difficult to use for people who are unable to stand (see picture). The lounge and breakfast room are both accessible.
Parking & Transport
Good
We got to the bed & breakfast by car. It is situated almost opposite the school and has a sign outside, so is fairly easy to find even in the dark. There is a gravel car park with space for several cars. However, the gravel is quite deep and I struggled in my manual wheelchair. There is space next to the front door to bring a car down from the parking area behind the house to make this easier.
Accessible Toilets
Good
The en-suite bathroom is large enough to comfortably use with a manual wheelchair, but is not specifically designed as a disabled bathroom and is essentially the kind of bathroom you would find in a normal house.
Staff
Excellent
The couple who run the bed and breakfast were very helpful and friendly and did everything they could to ensure we had a pleasant stay.
Additional Information
The rooms have kettles and a selection of coffees, teas and biscuits. I was amazed by the quality of the breakfasts! They have a dog who is normally kept out of the guest areas, but is very friendly.
