Overall Rating
Excellent
We visited on a Sunday afternoon, whilst on holiday in Somerset. We also attended the 15:00 evensong, which was beautiful!
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
I found access into and around the cathedral excellent! There were a couple of small parts that I couldn't access but for a building of its age and character, they couldn't have done much better. When we looked around and entered the quire (where evensong is held) I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't have anywhere suitable to sit for the service, but they sorted me out quickly and offered me a place next to a pew where there was room for my assistance dog and we were next to my husband.
Parking & Transport
Good
We arrived by motorhome and parked on High Street in a timed bay but with my blue badge. There was a parking attendant out ticketing but we were fine. It is a short walk from High Street to the cathedral.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
There is an accessible toilet just before the lift to the cafe. It was fine, clean, had everything I needed.
Staff
Excellent
The staff were lovely. Everyone was polite, friendly and helpful.
