One visitor said:
Their eyesight was praised, but it was noted that they were not easily accessible to wheelchair users. One person said: “A lovely place, you have to visit when you're in the area. Medieval sandstone monastery. It gives a good idea for the monks to live there. It's not a wheelchair, it's a very well-accessible place. It must have taken years to carve out another room.
