| Quite often finding somewhere suitable to stay
when you are disabled can be difficult, very often what the brochure
says and what the actual facilities to assist those who are disabled
or elderly, are two different things. Canyoustay.org
was founded in 2002 in order to allow members of the public who
have experienced good or bad places to stay, to share their experiences
with others who may be trying to find somewhere suitable to stay.
Members of the public answer a series of questions about
their stay covering areas such as the room and its facilities, accessibility
of the restaurants, helpfulness of staff and the availability of
car parking. The answers to these questions are used to calculate
the overall percentage accessibility rating which can be used to
compare facilities with other venues.
Users wishing to view other reports or find a suitable place
to stay can search using a number of different criteria, such as
location or access rating. Each report contains contact information
and general accessibility ratings of the accommodation, any specific
comments made by the reporter. A detailed breakdown of the response
by the reporter to each of the criteria is also available for those
who want to know in more detail the facilities available.
In some instances we may contact certain accommodation for
their response to the report and for updated information on the
facilities available, each report will be updated with such developments,
when available.
We often find that many places to stay have disabled facilities,
which are of a reasonable standard however there are some vital
areas that they seem to miss out on. Canyoustay.org will point out
to them where they could improve in order that they can make their
venue accessible to all.
Equally there are some places that offer excellent facilities
for disabled and elderly people, these were not publicised enough,
until now!
