Great for people living with dementia but not ideal for people permanently in a wheelchair

We had a great day out here. It is a beautiful place and not as crowded as Windemere which suited our group. The staff were friendly and helped us by putting ramps down so we could get on and off the boat safely. Only downside is that once you are on the boat there are several steep stairs below deck therefore not really suitable for permanent wheelchair users. Our group of people living with dementia managed the steps and our wheelchair user only needs the chair for longer distances so we were able to get below deck. If there was a way of getting below deck easier for people in wheelchairs the score would be much higher!
