Disabled woman ‘kicked out of Premier Inn’ because she ‘doesn’t look blind’

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

A blind woman claims she was forced to leave a Premier Inn because staff did not think she ‘looked blind’ or that her golden retriever was a real guide dog.

Angharad Paget-Jones, 29, said she was forced to leave the hotel in Enfield for breaching their no-pets policy, despite the exception for assistance dogs.

She said her boyfriend took Tudor for a walk at around 10pm on November 5, when staff at reception asked for proof he was an assistance dog.

The disability rights campaigner, from Port Talbot in Wales, added: ‘He pointed to the Guide Dogs leads and the tag he wears on his collar, but was asked for documentation.
