Mobility / Wheelchair Support

The farm cottages are old buildings, with original doorways, and varying levels. Some, therefore, are unsuitable for use with wheelchairs. However, some of the more recent cottages are suitable for those with reduced mobility. There are basic wheelchairs for use on site. All cottages have handrails on wall by baths . Non-slip bath mats provided where needed. All cottages have movable furniture, wall pictures, lamps, ornaments and other curiosities that are unique to that individual cottage. For full details of what exactly is provided in your cottage, and to discuss your personal access needs please contact our office by telephone on +44 (0) 1503 262730 so that we can help in person.

The following cottages are popular with guests who are wheelchair users or have limited mobility:
