Our 5th visit, so that must say something. Ideal for a hoist user. Good to be close to London, but you do need a car.

Name: Bridget
Date of visit: 02/19

This is a brilliant place. It has all the equipment you could want and so much space! We had a family gathering of 15 and comfortably sat around the humongous table. A warm and stylish bungalow. The wifi is fast too. We plan to go again.

Another bonus is that it is next to the watercress train line so every now and again a lovely locomotive chuffs by the kitchen window. A great location for travelling around the South.

Fantastic central location and good pies in the local pubs!

Date of visit: 07/19

This place is amazing. Very spacious, clean with absolutely everything we needed. We rely on ceiling hoists to move my adult daughter from wheelchair to bed to reclining chair and were not disappointed.

The whole bungalow is beautifully furnished and very homely. A beautiful area with stunning views, very peaceful.

Truly outstanding

Date of visit: 2017

Why is there no shower commode chair available as it is not possible to get a person that is unable to stand or walk on to the Clos O Mat toilet. The old one you do have does not have a bucket and only has a 16 inch width seat which is not wide enough for the average wheelchair user.We were unable to make a booking this because of this.

South West - Devon - Dawlish

A Place for Everybody

The bungalow is within walking distance of Dawlish and has spectacular, uninterrupted sea views. These can be enjoyed from the lounge/conservatory, or from the large paved terrace. One of the spacious bedrooms has an en-suite shower room, and there is an easily accessible ‘wheel in’ wet room which serves the rest of the property. The bungalow has level access to all areas, and there are various items of mobility equipment for use (please ask them for details).

The bungalow is set back on the Exeter Road between Dawlish and Dawlish Warren. There is ample parking for two large vehicles, and additional parking in the public lay-by just yards away. The property has a reasonably sized porch, large enough for a wheelchair, and hanging space for coats. The porch opens onto a spacious hallway via a sliding door, which leads to the rest of the bungalow. The first bedroom on your left has bunk beds, with two full size single mattresses. Opposite is a twin room which contains the hospital bed and the ceiling-track hoist. The spacious wet room has non-slip flooring. The hallway then narrows and a further en-suite double bedroom leads off. The kitchen is also accessed from this hallway, and eventually the hallway opens into a large lounge/conservatory. These two rooms can be either opened up as one room or closed off in the winter, when you might want to have a cosy night around the log burning stove; you may even wish to use the lounge as a 4th bedroom. There is comfortable seating for up to 8 guests, and further dining facilities also for 8. There is a large terrace with panoramic views, and various items of garden furniture for use by guests.

Reviews for Gwel an Mor

Name: Louise
Date of visit: 06/18

This is a lovely place to stay. Very clean and all the staff couldn’t be more helpful if there is anything you need. Very good disabled accommodation, good size bedroom, massive wetroom and good size doorways. There is level access to and from the accommodation and over the whole site. Hoist is an H frame which runs from bedroom in to the bathroom which made it incredibly easy to use. We only found one problem, which was the full profile bed was a divan style. The problem was very quickly resolved by the staff. They had some blocks specifically to help raise the bed off the floor, so you could get close enough to the bed for dressing, turning, manual handling, the person requiring it. All in all we had a fantastic time and would 100% recommend Gwel an Mor.

West Country - Forest of Dean - Yorkley (nr Lydney)

No.2 Danby Cottages

No.2 Danby Cottages, Forest of Dean. Accessible accommodation with a ceiling hoist.

Set deep in the heart of the forest, this cottage has been completely modernised.

It is spacious, comfortable in all seasons (central heating and log-burning stoves), welcoming to disabled people (one of the owners uses a wheelchair), families, pets, and older people all in a way that respects the environment.

We have been awarded four stars, Mobility 2 by Visit Britain, and a gold rating by Green Tourism Business Scheme.

There is one bedroom downstairs with wet-room, and two upstairs with shared bathroom, and a generous living room with folding glass doors opening onto decking and a large garden.

Originally one of a pair of forester’s cottages, set deep in the forest but only half a mile from Yorkley village with two shops, a Health Centre and bus stop.

No 2 has been in the hands of the same family since 1976. Recently a complete rehabilitation was undertaken, including the addition of an entirely new (6m x6m) living/dining room and an accessible bedroom with en-suite wet room. A ceiling hoist has been installed in this bedroom and will shortly be installed in the wet room too

Wales - Pembrokeshire

Hampton Court Holiday Park, Pembrokeshire

Hampton Court Holiday Park accessible cabin with ceiling track hoist Hampton Court Holiday Park is a small friendly family run holiday park set in the heart of the beautiful area of Pembrokeshire and the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in West Wales.

The Park itself is about six miles from the harbour town of Saundersfoot and about 3 miles from the market town of Narberth whilst the Pembrokeshire county town of Haverfordwest is thirteen miles. So we are conveniently located to explore the area and take in the various views whether you wish to do so by wheelchair on one of the ever increasing accessible footways or simply enjoying some fish and chips in your car on the harbour front at Saundersfoot whilst watching the boats come in with the tide.

Hampton Court Holiday Park - bedroom with ceiling track hoist The park is owned and run by us the Russ family. We live on the park with our children one of whom is profoundly disabled and a wheelchair user and it is this reason we decided to start catering for the disabled holiday market. We realised that as our son gets older and bigger it has become very difficult if not impossible to find truly accessible accommodation to go on holiday in and most importantly that there do not appear to be many places offering the facilities my family and I need in a “normal and inclusive setting”.

We decided we were in a unique position to try and do something about this and so designed the log cabin we are currently offering for hire as a holiday destination on a holiday park with other holiday makers but in accommodation built (not adapted) for the wheelchair user. We have equipped the cabin with a variety of things that we think will be of use to a lot of wheelchair users particularly those who require carer assisted hoisting.

Not as advertised

Though the people letting this property are lovely, this property is not as advertised.
The access into property is very steep with a lip at the top and not doable for active wheelchair users. The kitchen is not adapted.
There are no views from the garden which it says there are...the garden which consists of mainly slabbed and concreted areas and the 'patio' consists of plastic chairs on a car standing.
Very run down and lots of repairs and maintenance needed, very dated bedrooms and needs a deep clean...cobwebs and dirt in all corners, broken flooring etc. Broken trampoline. Broken/leaky showers.Weeds...you get the picture.
Disabled room smelled of mould and stale urine and is freezing, no central heating in this property. On top of this the accessible bathroom is part of the bedroom, there is no door so you're looking at the loo when you're in bed, very disability medical model and might explain the horrible smell in the room. Room not set up for couples though there is another bed so you could ask for them to be moved together. Though they seem to provide some continence products and various aids these are all on show in the bedroom/bathroom which isn't great either.
The listing suggests this is luxury accommodation but couldn't be further from it, we have stayed at Gwel an Mor which is what we would class as luxury, this is more like 2 star at best but prices are the same as a 5 star property.
Very disappointing. We booked a week but only stayed one night as the place was filthy and accessible bedroom/bathroom was unacceptable.
Owners offered to clean again but it was beyond cleaning. And they offered a full refund but we suggest you ask for more photos and clarifications all these issues have been solved before booking. Photos are not accurate or up to date and don't show bathroom set up.
It is only 5 minutes from black rock sands which was the only redeeming feature besides offering ceiling track and profiling bed (very hard mattress).
Very sad to have driven all this way and had to go home.

Reviews of Clober Farm

Elizabeth “I used Clober Farm for an overnight stay when travelling down from Dundee to a Rugby match at Scotstoun. It was an absolutely fantastic experience and my only regret was not booking a few more days so as to really enjoy the house! It’s so reasonably priced compared to a hotel or B&B, and you know exactly what you’re getting; there’s no worry about which definition of ’accessible’ has been used when describing the facilities, everything has been thought about with contemporary, independent living at its core.”

Scotland - Scottish Borders - Melrose

Eildon Holiday Cottages

Eildon Holiday Cottages are located at the foot of the majestic Eildon Hills in Melrose with stunning views over the Tweed valley and the beautiful Scottish Borders Countryside. As well as the inspiring Scottish landscapes the Scottish Borders has so much to offer visitors to the region including a long list of castles and historic buildings and an interesting mix of events going on such as the Melrose rugby 7s and the Borders Book Festival. Melrose is located approximately 35 miles south of Edinburgh and there is a direct train line in to the city centre which takes just under an hour and is wheelchair accessible.

Our six holiday cottages, ranging from one to three bedrooms, were originally designed from the realisation that it was impossible for families with disabled and severely disabled members to find any suitable self-catering holiday accommodation with facilities for all the family to take a holiday together. The strength of the complex is that able-bodied and disabled visitors can holiday together without differentiation. Disabled people can holiday alone (independent wheelchair user), with family, or with professional carers living in the cottage to provide the necessary support.

Our wheelchair accessible cottages are graded Category 1 – the best possible Tourist Board grading for wheelchair accessibility.

Two Cottages have optional ceiling tracking hoists - Langrig has a Spectra hoist that tracks from the bedroom into a wet-room shower and Single Tree Cottage has a Freeway hoist that tracks from the bedroom into a bathroom with a large bathtub with over-bath shower. Portable hoists are also available and can be used in all of the holiday cottages.

All have at least one bedroom on the ground floor level, with either a bathroom or wet-room shower room. There are grab rails in bath and shower rooms and let-down rails beside WCs. There is ample space for side-loading to WCs.

Electric profiling beds, pressure relieving mattress systems, shower chairs and a range of other equipment is available for guests to use.
