Forbes of Kingennie Country Resort have created an accessible escape pod. From the outside, Sòlas Retreat looks the same as the other pods, but inside it’s a masterclass in inclusivity, starting with a ceiling-track hoist system (with universal loop attachment) that runs through the living area, bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom is a wet room with a wonderful waterfall fixed shower head and beautiful brushed gold fixtures, including grab rails and handles, as well as a smaller hand-held shower head and a free-standing seat. The bedroom has a Profiling Care bed, with individually controlled split mattress and there’s a Maximo electric mobility recliner in the living area. Outside there’s a private decking area with a hot tub, which has a fully automatic Spa Elite seat lift. There's adapted cutlery and crockery and a covered parking area, plus floor-level motion sensor lights in the entrance and bedroom. The resort's restaurant has a varied menu with delicious veggie, vegan and gluten free options. The whole resort is so quiet and peaceful, it is like a little sanctuary away from the bustle of daily life and Forbes of Kingennie Country Resort truly have gone above and beyond to create a luxurious haven that is both accessible and practical. If you are planning a stay, just give them a call and let them know what your access needs are and they'll get it set up for you
