Overview
For the first time EVER I experienced LUXURY and total ACCESSIBILITY. Gorgeous cottage with every comfort and disability aid you could want, either as standard or to request. All this without the faintest hint of clinical ! You have to visit, if you can ! Very popular so few slots free but can’t praise this cottages and it’s owners enough.
Transport & Parking
You can park right by the front door for loading and unloading and then park up a few metres away. All within a private gated courtyard. We travelled by car.
Access
Step free throughout. Everything on one level. Very clever design of kitchen, bedroom and bathroom meant I could get my wheelchair up to basins and sinks and use all equipment in kitchen.Wet room with all latest tech and shower chair if needed.we’ve just adapted our home but have yet to do the bedroom and I will be trying to reproduce the built in dressing table in the fitted wardrobe - all shelves accessible with drop down rails.
Toilets
Good height and although grab rails in place you can have more if you need them. Loads of room to manoeuvre. Plenty of space for a Carer to assist.Although I didn’t need it the shower chair could also be used as a commode.
Staff
Nothing too much trouble for the owners who live close to the cottage and there is a special mobility guide to take out on trips with you that details every accessible toilet in virtually every village. Remember your RADAR key.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
This really is the first time I have experienced luxury and accessibility in the same place. Highly and unreservedly recommend.
