Summary of reviews related to the 'Accessible' category
Byfords is centrally located and within walking distance of shops and other attractions, making it a convenient choice for travellers with disabilities. Guests appreciated the ease of accessing their rooms on the ground level without having to navigate stairs or lifts. However, those with specific needs, including wheelchair users, may struggle as the accessible rooms come with a toilet that is too high, almost dangerous. Limited parking is also an issue, but the hotel tries to accommodate guests as best they can. Despite these limitations, guests who do not require specific accessibility features appreciated the rooms and the hotel overall and would return if changes were made.
The Pheasant Hotel is noted as having at least one bedroom equipped to accommodate a visitor who uses a wheelchair.
