Cathedral Yard - Art Deco Luxury (Exeter)

The apartment is gorgeous. Right in the heart of the city. The neighbours are friendly. High specifications and very comfy beds. It’s really beautiful with all amenities.

It is not wheelchair accessible despite being advertised as such. The front door isn’t wide enough for a wheelchair unless you can reach the high lock to open both sides. Which I can’t from my chair. There are two steps before you reach the lift. I can get out of my chair with difficulty but I wouldn’t have managed if I had been on my own or been unable to do steps. It was painful and slow and we went out a few times a day so had to do it repeatedly. The wet room is lovely but there is no chair and none in the property that could be used in water so impractical for people with disabilities. There are no hand rails either so shouldn’t be advertised as having facilities for disabled guests. The lift is small so wouldn’t fit an electric wheelchair and the many fire doors are hard to manage from a chair. The wi-fi code I was sent was wrong but there was a card luckily. The boiler is very noisy and can be heard all over the apartment. There was also a bad water smell in the bathroom which came and went. Also the fighting street people right by the door and a lot of broken glass and bottles being thrown was a bit unsettling although obviously nothing to do with the property management.
