This review is especially helpful for those who have or use the following: Wheelchair
Overview
Homelands consists of 3 units sleeping a maximum of 6 and one sleeping 8. I spent a week in Massney, a six bed. This purpose built accommodation is extremely well equipped with OH tracking hoists covering all areas of one bedroom and the wet room. A profiling bed with air-mattress was supplied and free-standing hoists are available. The wet room is very well equipped with all manner of shower chairs etc. The views over Lundin Golf Course and the Firth of Forth to Mid and East Lothian are breathtaking and best appreciated from the picnic tables and chairs on the patio outside the French Windows. The accommodation is spacious with all surfaces at a good height for wheelchair users.
Transport & Parking
The access road is quite steep because of the location but once on the level there is an abundance of parking spaces on level ground adjoining the units. We ate out most evenings and would recommend the food (especially the seafood) at The Ship Inn, Elie; the 19th Hole, Earlsferry; The Crusoe Hotel, Lower Largo; The Upper Largo Hotel; and the Old Manor, Lundin Links. We did not need to use a disabled toilet at any of these hotels, so please check beforehand if one is required. The Fishing Museum in Anstruther is well worth a visit and 90% wheelchair accessible and the café food good.
Access
Disabled access to Homelands could not be better. The small towns and villages along the East Neuk are all old harbours and properties so don't expect level pavements and roads but you can take the car down to every harbour other than Crail and transfer out of the car there.
Toilets
The toilets in Homelands are excellent but I would not like to comment on disabled toilets generally as we did not require them.
Staff
We were welcomed on arrival and the member of staff explained operating instructions for equipment. A welcome pack was provided.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
Would certainly recommend Homelands for a short or extended stay. It is the best holiday accommodation we have found in Scotland.
