Overview
We had a lovely visit to Walter Scott's house. The car park is large and well laid out with disabled parking. The staff in the reception area were helpful and friendly and offered us the option of carer going free without prompting. The layout was explained fully and we were shown to the lift to the restaurant. A lovely restaurant overlooking the grounds. The disabled toilets were clean with enough space for a mobility scooter. There are wheelchairs available to borrow. It was about 150 yards from the reception area to the house along a tarmac path. There are benches along the path and one small slope. The house was fully accessible with plenty of chairs to rest on, and a very good audio guide. The garden was also wheelchair accessible.
