Hotel says the ground-floor option has no toilet grab rails. (Property statement · Hotel email · 2026-10-30) One hotel reply says there is no wheelchair-friendly room; a later reply describes a ground-floor room with a wheelchair-accessible bathroom. (Property statement · Hotel email · 2026-10-30) Hotel confirms a lift but says wider wheelchairs will not fit because it is very narrow. (Property statement · Hotel email · 2026-10-30)
The two 30 October replies disagree on the wheelchair-room designation. The lift is described as too narrow for wider wheelchairs, with no dimensions. The ground-floor room’s full route, shower threshold and usable clearances remain unconfirmed.
