Overall Rating

Excellent

These beautiful, cosy, well-equipped cottages are eco-friendly as well as accessible! Two cottages on this site and others at Field House Farm down the road, run by the same people are all on one level. The owners are trained in disability awareness and are clearly keen to do all they can to make your holiday a success: they can provide a higher chair, a loo-seat raiser and a shower stool if required. Their website has an access statement and loads of useful information. They also provide a fabulously generous welcome pack full of breakfast goodies, a bottle of wine and more! Nearby Bempton Cliffs are accessible, as is the prom at Bridlington.

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

Smooth paving outside, plenty of room inside.

Parking & Transport

Excellent

Lots of parking. You can park near the cottage for loading/unloading.

Accessible Toilets

Good

We were in The Spinney - slight problem with the shower being a fixed overhead type which is an issue when using a shower stool - you can't avoid the initial cold water or avoid wetting your hair, but the owners are thinking of adding a non-fixed shower, plus other cottages of theirs have this already. A few more grabrails would have been good in the bathroom.

Staff

Excellent

Really pleasant,friendly and helpful.

Additional Information

Apart from a couple of reservations (the bathroom, a described above, plus the bed was rather too high; it's tiring having to brace yourself not to slide off, when sitting on it!) these cottages are fabulous as they are so high-spec: nothing scruffy or broken, just stylish and comfortable and with some interesting family and local information too and a webcam so you see the resident barn owl! :
