Superb Disabled Access and Facilities

Beautiful rural retreat with easy access where comfort and relaxation are the top priorities. The cottage is set in a lovely courtyard and lovingly restored single storey farm buildings ideal for those less able and disabled.

Enjoy a dip in the heated splash pool or be ‘pampered’ by one of our visiting therapists, with no journey home afterwards! Utter bliss!

All single beds. No pets allowed, however, Assistance dogs welcome. There is a ‘no-smoking’ policy throughout the cottages and all other buildings.

You will enjoy the warmest of welcomes on arrival. In your cottage will be a starter-pack of bread, butter and milk and an exceptional supply of useful local information.

Your cottage is equipped with a washer/dryer, a drying rack, pegs, iron and ironing board. There is a washing-line for use in the garden.

The beautiful treatment room is comfortable and has an adjoining wheelchair accessible cloakroom. Visiting therapists offer a range of therapies including reflexology, massage and hypnotherapy. Therapists will however, on request, treat guests in their cottage.

The splash pool is 6.0 metres x 3.0 metres x 1.4 metres deep and the pool water is kept at a comfortable temperature – circa 30oC. Do please note the water temperature in a Hydrotherapy pool is much higher, but ours is not a hydrotherapy pool. Please check the water temperature of the pool you regularly use and if it is higher than 30oC consider whether our pool is appropriate for you to use.There are two changing rooms, each fully wheelchair accessible with wet room shower and side access WC facilities. There are guide rails all around the pool at the water line and easy access steps. There is an Oxford Dipper hoist – please be sure to bring your own harness/sling.
