Overall Rating
Excellent
It’s simply delightful when away on a break to sometimes just sit and relax with a good book, or catch up with your IPad, and a cool glass of your favourite tipple close at hand. PHOTOS 1 to 10 ============ At Studley, one lounge you may enjoy could be the Bar lounge, with its comfortable seating, easy on the eye decorations, and something on the TV that may appeal. General its set on the news channel, but staff will willing change stations if a sports programme you want to watch is showing on one of the other channels. PHOTOS 11 to 16 ============= When the bottom gets sore, take a stroll across the hall and visit the Brasserie32 for a light lunch, or further drinks, the choice is yours, you are on holiday. PHOTOS 17 to 20 ============= After all that drinking, a toilet break may be just the thing you need, and they are only short walk away from the restaurants.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Ramps will take you up to the castle entrance, and reception desk is just inside, then it’s all nice and level through the whole complex, with lifts proved if staying on a break here. There are places for you to stop and rest as you explore the castle and its modern buildings housing rooms and entertainment areas. Outside also have seating areas for you to enjoy those warm sunny days.
Parking & Transport
Good
Easy enough to get here, not to far from the M5 / M42, and along fast roads. Parking is on hard compressed chippings, but no allocated disabled bays, just park as close as you can to the castle. It’s a bit of a push for your carer and wheelchair, so would be best to drive up to the castle entrance, drop you off, then the driver could go and park the car. We give just 3.5 stars as we found it difficult to push the chair along the paths to get to the castle, and would not fancy the push if cold and wet, but if your driver dropped your party off at the entrance, then it would be so much easier for you all. The driver may not agree when facing the weather, but your visit will make it all worth while.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
Handy, and just across the hall to reach these if in a bit of a rush. Very clean and tidy, nice smallish cubicles, while the accessible toilet has more space, a grab rail, and pull cords.
Staff
Good
Friendly, willing, always walking around to take your orders.
