Overview

The most wheelchair friendly B AND B I have yet discovered. Situated on the 'Military Road' parallel to Hadrian's Wall west of Humshaugh, its location is just stunning with views spanning towards the north Pennine moors. There is hard and level disabled parking and access to the newly built 'Lodge'. I have yet to find any other hotel or BnB that provide bed loop, transfer board, shower chair and toilet seat extension as does Carraw. It's owners clearly have a very astute appreciation of what disabled customers need to make their stay comfortable. Leah and Kevin are extremely helpful in suggesting accessible places to visit in the magnificent county of Northumberland and coupled with some delicious breakfasts, this BnB is just one of the best.

Transport & Parking

a Gravel drive from the road to the 'Lodge', with hard and level paving to designated disabled parking bay

Access

level hard paving from adjacent parking bay to low level threshold entrance door.

Toilets

Compliant to part M of the building regulations with drop down handrails

Staff

The owners could not have been more helpful in our general welfare within the premises and, similarly, in suggesting accessible restaurants and places to visit in the locality and further afield such as the Lake District, Newcastle and the North East Coast line.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

I look forward to staying at Carraw again in the near future and trust any wheelchair users will enjoy the experience as much as I did.
