    Affordable, Wheelchair and autism friendly holiday park

    5

    Date of visit: July 2021

    I have experience of challenges around: a hidden impairment, moving around, speaking or communicating and understanding.

    Twin room - Wider beds than other caravans and room for the portable hoist providesWet room with fold up seat, making it easier for able and disabled people to be catered forSink set back and low enough for a wheelchair user

    Excellent

    We stayed in the wheelchair friendly caravan on site. Others have noted that it’s a long way from the sea and pools, but these are in fact only 6 or so minutes walking on a flat surface. It is also possible to drive down to the main centre. Staff were outstandingly autism friendly with little explanation needed for adaptions to be made. They took time to understand difficult speech and different ways of communicating with our developmentally delayed child. There was a portable hoist in the caravan and at the pool (bring your own sling for the caravan hoist). Caravan had wide access for a wheelchair. There were disabled toilets available. There is no changing place but the caravans are nearby. We had a fab time, thank you park dean!

    Good

    The accessible toilets were well set up with room to position the chair and transfer. Grab rails were available. Main accessible toilet had to be accessed through the arcade - which does have a lot of lights and action for people with ASD (our child loved it, others might not!) Space for a carer
