Overall Rating
Excellent
We visited on a cold Christmas Eve (last outing before lockdown.) Many countryside areas and viewpoints have no accessible toilet, so it is very helpful that the National Park has provided this facility.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
At the end of the car park there is level access to the toilet, which is inside the building. There is also a take away kiosk in the same building, though not surprisingly it was closed that day. It would be nice if there were more seats which were easily accessible to allow those with poor mobility to sit looking at the view. Many are down the hill on the grass.
Parking & Transport
Good
There is a fairly large car park, although there are relatively few blue badge spaces. However it is all level, with tarmac, and it would be possible to drop someone off near the toilets/cafe.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
The toilet is inside the building. It is very spacious and has grab rails on both sides. We were pleasantly surprised that it was open, even on Christmas Eve.
Staff
0No staff on site - not surprising at that time of year.
Additional Information
This is a lovely car park from which those with poor mobility can see the loch. The kiosk used to sell hot drinks and filled rolls so hopefully will do so again once things open up. The Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park website has helpful information giving the current status of all their car parks and toilets. It notes that the toilets at this site are closed for repair until the end of March 2021.
