Who are we?



We're AccessAble, the UK's leading provider of detailed disabled access information. We give disabled people, carers, and anyone who needs to know about accessibility the detailed information they need to work out if a place is going to be accessible to them.

AccessAble's Detailed Access Guides tell you all about a venue's access - hotels and guest houses, places to eat and drink, places to visit and much more. The guides are 100% facts, figures and photographs. We know everyone's accessibility needs are different, which is why having detailed, accurate information is so important. It's why AccessAble send trained surveyors to check out every single place in person and why the information collected has all been decided by the people who use it.

Users can check out access information for 70,000 venues across the UK and Ireland before they leave home or on the move using AccessAble's App and website.
