Wheelchair Accessible Holiday Cottages

If you’re thinking of taking a staycation and you are a wheelchair user, there shouldn’t be any limitations with the accommodation you choose. Hotels are often slightly harder to navigate due to their location and the age of the building can make the hotel less accessible.

Another option is to book a wheelchair accessible holiday cottage instead – this way you have complete freedom and can move around at your leisure, without having to rely on hotel staff.

No matter what region of the UK you are looking to visit, there are plenty of wheelchair accessible cottages available:

North Yorkshire (Dales and Moors)

Sunday Cottage – Grosmont

Grosmont is a truly wonderful village to visit, especially if you enjoy exploring heritage and want to get out and about in nature.

The main attraction in Grosmont is the North Yorkshire Moors Railway which features a 1950’s style station to take you back in time.

Sunday Cottage has wheelchair access through wider doors, there’s an external ramp entrance and a ground floor bedroom complete with accessible en-suite bathroom. This cottage is considered as ‘one of Britain’s best equipped holiday properties for those with mobility issues’ by the Yorkshire Post.
