Gidleigh Park is a gorgeous hotel in Devon, we haven’t audited but when we called they told us all about their disabled accessible bedroom and the Michael Caines restaurant. The disabled access room is on the ground floor and has an interconnecting room in case family or a carer need to be near by, there…
I and Lieutenant No.1 went to Coworth Park in the summer – I remember because it was raining. It’s out in the countryside just near Esher/Ascot. Plenty of shouting occurred as I couldn’t see the GPS without my glasses but it really is not that difficult to find. To say the location is beautiful is an understatement,…
Amsterdam; city of style, great people and freedom… shame about the disabled access! All the streets in the main city area are cobbled and the road system of cars/buses/trams/motorbikes/scooters/bikes is bewildering. They come at you from all directions! It doesn’t help that when you decide to place yourself in a restaurant away from the chaos…
I’ve been advised by my PR that 40 WiNKS is where all the models from London Fashion Week want to stay. It’s ‘a historic and elegant four storey Queen Anne townhouse built in 1717’. There are only 2 rooms and none are disabled friendly but it’s the ultimate in style so it goes into the guide!!!!!!…

We did go to Peacock Alley which is the hotel’s…

The Hoxton is the most disabled aware place I have been to so far. Situated in Shoreditch on Great Eastern Street it is identified by…
A few weeks ago I and the American Lieutenant went to Shoreditch to update my previous review. There was too much ‘trendiness’ to see in one visit. We started at The Hoxton, Urban Lodge – one of the most disabled aware places I have ever been. I will review in full later, needless to say…
I and Lieutenant Commander Amanda attended a friends wedding at Botleys Mansion near Chertsey in Surrey and while we were there I decided to check out the disabled facilities. This is a very grand old building but the owners have managed to install a lift and a disabled WC on the ground floor. The large…
American Lieutenant’s report on access and facilities available at the Hilton Hotel in Cobham, Surrey. The Hilton Hotel at Cobham, Surrey has four disabled rooms all located on the ground floor. I only viewed one of the rooms which I thought was very well equipped. It had twin beds with plenty of room for manoeuvring…
