Overall Rating
Excellent
I had no idea what to expect but the cafe was a possible option for lunch after a walk from Sykes Lane car park. I was really pleasantly surprised. Even though it is built into a hill, wheelchair access is great!
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
There is a ramp up to the main entrance, which is long and steady. The doors are double doors and we opened both to let me through with my mountain trike. The layout allows sufficient space to get around with a wheelchair. Once you've ordered, they bring the food to your table.
Parking & Transport
Good
We arrived by motorhome and it was very easy to find. We parked at Sykes Lane car park, about a mile walk from the cafe, but there is a car park at the cafe too. Parking is a total free for all, but the car park is enormous, so it wasn't a problem. The car park is a gravel surface.
Accessible Toilets
Good
There is an accessible toilet in the entrance hall area. It was plenty big enough for me and was clean. My only complaint is that the hand dryer didn't work, which is really annoying when you find out once your hands are wet. A sign would have been helpful.
Staff
Excellent
The staff were helpful in polite. They didn't interfere with my assistance dog, which is always appreciated.
