Accommodation and Activities

Both our hotels have step free access, multiple lifts are found in each reception area. Both the hotels have accessible public toilet facilities. The staff are always available at reception should you have any queries or concerns.

Assistance and Guide Dogs - Assistance/guide dogs are welcome in the accommodation but please tell us in advance so we can allocate the most appropriate room for you. Upon arrival, please advise Reception of any additional requirements and they will endeavour to accommodate these where possible.

Wheelchair Hire - Wheelchair hire is available from Lodge Gate and is charged at £10 per day, plus a £50 fully refundable pre-authorisation on a credit or debit card. Registered disabled guests with documented proof may hire a wheelchair free of charge, but a £50 pre-authorisation will still apply - please speak to a member of staff on your visit for more information. All wheelchairs and mobility scooters are standard dimensions. 

Wheelchairs are subject to availability so we would suggest that guests who need a wheelchair to travel around the Theme Park bring their own for ease and certainty. Please note, due to the very hilly nature of our site, this can make powered buggies very unstable. Please take extra care when using them.
