Establishments taking part in Visit Britain’s National Accessibility Scheme have been assessed to ensure a comfortable stay for guests with hearing, visual or mobility needs.
You can rest easy knowing we have accommodation or attractions that meets your specific needs by grouping them in specific categories.
The following categories explain each level of accessibility.
- Typically suitable for a person that can climb stairs but may benefit from fixtures and fittings to aid balance.
- Typically suitable for a person that has limited walking ability and for those who may need to use a wheelchair some of the time and who can negotiate a maximum of three steps.
- Typically suitable for a person who requires a wheelchair and transfers unaided to and from the wheelchair in a seated position. This person may be an independent traveller.
- Typically suitable for a person who requires a wheelchair in a seated position. They also require personal/mechanical assistance (eg, carer/hoist).
