Accessible HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Accessible' categoryThe Bell Hotel offers a mixed experience when it comes to accessibility for guests with disabilities. On a positive note, the hotel is clean, tidy and comfortable, providing a welcoming atmosphere. It is conveniently located with an easy walk to central shops and its online accessibility is rated highly, making booking and obtaining information straightforward. The hotel's staff is noted for their problem-solving attitude, which can be a significant plus for guests needing special assistance.
However, several challenges arise regarding physical accessibility. Steep stairs and a lack of an elevator pose difficulties for those with mobility issues. Guests with arthritis or partial disabilities reported significant struggles with navigating the multiple flights of stairs. The accessibility within rooms also falls short; some rooms feature steep stair access, hot conditions remedied only by numerous fans and bathroom layouts that complicate usability. Specifically, the arrangement of the toilet and shower door, as well as inconveniently placed plugs, can frustrate those needing more accessible facilities.
Parking also presents an issue; while the hotel has parking facilities, it currently does not offer electric car chargers, which can be problematic for guests with electric vehicles. Despite the high marks for cleanliness and staff assistance, the hotel might require improvements in physical accessibility and room convenience to better accommodate all guests. Show more
Accessible InnSummary of reviews related to the 'Accessible' categoryThe Cock Hotel by Greene King Inns offers a mix of conveniences and challenges for guests with disabilities. On the positive side, the hotel boasts a good parking facility and free parking at the rear, which is a significant advantage. Its location is also highly convenient, especially for those wanting to be close to friends or nearby attractions. Guests have praised the character of the hotel and the niceness of the staff, both of which contribute to an overall pleasant experience.
However, the hotel does present accessibility issues. There is no elevator, making it difficult for guests to carry luggage up narrow staircases and challenging for older visitors or those with breathing difficulties. Additionally, bathrooms lack handles, which can be problematic for those needing extra support. Despite these drawbacks, the dated rooms do not seem to be a significant deterrent for most guests.

Summary of reviews related to the 'Accessible' categoryThe Macdonald Bear Hotel, an older property, offers mixed experiences when it comes to accessibility for guests with disabilities. On the positive side, there are accessible rooms available on request, including ground floor options and rooms with certain accessible features. Parking is accessible and can be secured specifically for disabled guests, providing ease for those with impaired mobility.
However, some reviews point out key shortcomings. The accessible rooms are not always fully wheelchair-friendly and the absence of lifts in the hotel poses challenges, especially when dealing with stairs and luggage. Requests for rooms with roll-in showers for wheelchair users could enhance the overall experience.
Overall, while the hotel strives to meet reasonable service demands for additional accessibility needs, it might require some improvements to fully cater to guests with more specific mobility requirements. Show more
