Accessibility

The Bath Priory has one accessible room on the ground floor, the Foxglove Room. For guests with physical disabilities, the room will always be offered at the lowest available public rate at the time of booking. Any additional requirements can be discussed pre-arrival by calling +44 (0)1225 331922. 

The hotel's car park is level with a firm gravel surface, and includes a dedicated disabled parking space located next to the front door. Porter assistance is available for moving luggage.  

Wheelchair access is via a ramp at the front entrance of the hotel. Staff will be available to assist you. 

Guide dogs and accredited assistance dogs are welcome throughout the hotel.

The reception at The Bath Priory is located on the ground floor and has level access. Throughout the whole of the ground floor the surfaces are polished stone floors, level wooden flooring and short pile carpets. Corridors throughout the ground floor are wide with the narrowest doorways being 870mm. Reception is well lit with desk lamp and natural light. The desk offers a lower level for wheelchair users. 

The lounges in the hotel are all located on the ground floor where the surfaces are a mix of level wooden flooring and short pile carpets. The corridors are wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair and staff are trained in disability awareness. Both the Drawing Room and the Library feature a mixture of seating arrangements with low coffee tables and seating ranging from soft deep cushioned to straight back chairs and sofas.

The hotel has limited public toilet facilities which are not accessible for wheelchair users. As such, guests booked in to the Foxglove Room would need to use the in-room facilities. Where possible, the hotel reserves the Foxglove Room if an accessible toilet is requested as part of a restaurant booking. 

The gardens and terrace are accessible via a pathway at the side of the hotel. There are a series of gravel pathways that go around the gardens with steps leading to higher ground, so as a result the area is not fully accessible. The front lawn is extensive and bordered by a firm gravel surface. The lawn has a slight gradient down away from the hotel, though remains accessible.

The restaurant is located on the ground floor and the surface is short pile carpet. Full waiter service is provided at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Guests are asked to notify the hotel of any special dietary needs in advance. The menu can be provided in large print or delivered verbally if required. There is ample moveable seating and chairs without arms. The restaurant area is well-lit, with plenty of natural daylight during daytime hours.

Access to the spa is step-only.
