​Within the restraints of a listed 500 year old building, we try to ensure Bayards Cove Inn is as accessible as possible. Bayards Cove Inn is located on Lower St, which provides level access from the main parking areas in Dartmouth.
  • Open daily every day from 8am - 11pm.
  • Guests can also be dropped at the front door.
  • The restaurant and bar area is situated on the ground floor on one level. This is accessed via double doors from the main street, which are accessible to wheelchair users. There are no carpets or rugs.
  • There is a disabled toilet on the ground floor, and all furniture can be moved in order to accommodate wheelchairs, push chairs and prams.
  • Regrettably there are stairs to all of our bedrooms, which are situated over three floors.
  • There is no lift, although there are handrails on all our staircases. Staff are always on hand to offer any assistance to guests as required.
  • Disability awareness forms part of our staff induction training and staff are encouraged to provide assistance to customers with differing mobility requirements.
