Just returned from an amazing week at Sara's cottage in Truro, Cornwall. My husband is a full time wheelchair user and we have struggled to find lovely accessible accommodation. Sara's cottage ticks all the boxes! As we drove down the long driveway with its beautiful wild flowers and saw the cottage we had the inkling we had picked something special. Parking outside the cottage was on level ground, no gravel and a very subtle ramp into the front door. The accommodation is all on one level, so much thought has gone into everything. The doors are wide and the rooms are spacious. Lounge/kitchen was perfect with a kitchen table that was suitable for my husband to roll under perfectly. The kitchen was so well equipped and no expense spared with lovely glassware. We cooked a full roast dinner on the Sunday with ease. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and the home made scones with cream and jam went down a treat. The conservatory leads from the kitchen and is a lovely place to view the garden and all the beautiful birds that feed off the bird feeders. The garden was a joy and there was plenty of space to sit outside and have a bbq. The accessible bedroom with ensuite wet room was perfect for us. In fact I would say it was far better than many hotels we have stayed in. The bedroom was spacious with plenty of room either side of the bed and the bed was just the right height for my husband to transfer easily. The wetroom was brilliant , it was well thought out and practical but didn't lack style and design. Again the extra little touches were much appreciated. There was an extra grip bathroom handle that could be placed where you wanted. The sink was a good height, mirrors were well placed, hand held shower as well as overhead shower and good designed hand rails. The owners live in the house nearby and were available for any questions before our trip and during our stay. They also have a wealth of knowledge regarding the local area. We were very impressed with their website for the cottage, so much detail and also great recommendations for days out and restaurants. The location of the cottage is brilliant, its just outside Truro in a rural area and a great location for visiting different parts of Cornwall.
