UK hotel accessibility
Many UK hotels cater for disabled users; whether it is wheelchair access, brailed or special facilities for the hard of hearing. Most publicise this in their brochures and on the web site. To find out more please contact the hotel.
Access for those with limited mobility
Places to stay that show one of the three signs shown below care about accessibility. When you see the Tourism for All arch with one of the three symbols, you can be sure that the establishment has been thoroughly assessed against demanding criteria.
The English Tourism Council has hundreds of accessible properties in its scheme, and the three different categories will help you to choose the one that suits your needs.
 | Category 1
Accessible to a wheelchair user travelling independently.
|
 | Category 2
Accessible to a wheelchair user travelling with assistance
|
 | Category 3
Accessible to someone with limited mobility, able to walk a few paces and up a maximum of three steps.
