The Dean Court prides itself on providing access for all our guests
Facilities at The Dean Court currently include:
Ramp Access for guests in wheelchairs. Ramp incline is 7.2 degrees over 10' length.
Ramp and Entrances are suitable for conventional-sized electric wheelchairs
Due to our location and the age of the historic building, our ramped entrance requires our staff to assist you. The temporary ramp protrudes a little on to the road of this side street - which is pedestrianised for several hours each day. Disabled parking is allowed at other times which means there is a slight risk of the access being blocked by parked cars. Staff are therefore ready and willing, at all times, to assist guests. Once inside there is total access to all public areas, (The Bar, D.C.H - the restaurant, The Court Cafe-Bistro, Lounge areas)
Wheelchair Hire. The hotel has its own conventional wheelchair for guests' hire. A nominal fee of £10 is made for 1 - 7 days hire (Use of this wheelchair is entirely at the users risk. The hotel is unable to accept liabilty forr any injuries howsoever caused whilst using the wheelchair)
