Please note that access from the wharf to the restaurant involves an inclined gravel path, which may be challenging for some wheelchair users, especially when unaccompanied.
- To ensure we can provide the best support possible, we kindly ask that you inform us of any accessibility requirements at the time of booking. While our team is always happy to help where possible, staff assistance cannot be guaranteed at all times, so we recommend traveling with someone who can assist if needed.
