Accessibility

We provide a wide range of professional services to meet your needs. We promise to provide every service with a smile, and to your highest level of satisfaction.

We have 12 units onsite, including amazing pods and stunning yurts. One of the newest unit called The View has been designed to be as accessible as possible but depending on your needs you may find the other units are also suitable.

The View is a stunning modern yurt all based on a single level. The entrance to The View is via 2 steps but we have accessibility rams at the entrance to be able to access the main decked area. Once on the main deck everything is on one single level from the decking area, the yurt and the bathroom all have no steps and can be freely accessed.

This yurt can sleep up to four guests in one main living and sleeping area - a king size bed and 2 sofa beds can be used for your stay.

It has a parking space 40 meters from the Yurt in a dedicated disabled space and the ground is a path of compacted gravel (please note this is an unfinished surface and although compacted it isn’t tarmac) and then ramped access onto the outside deck

We have tried to ensure a good colour contrast between floors, walls, fittings and fixtures, but we struggled to get luminance values from almost all suppliers so have opted for colours that look to contrast as much as we can. We appreciate this isn’t ideal and are happy to discuss/send photos of the visual differences if that is useful, we are also happy to apply contrast tape if that would be a reasonable adaptation for guests.

Nearest Shop

Whilst we have tried to do all we can to make our site as accessible some things we struggled with, didn’t consider or have been unable to think of a solution for. They are listed here to help you decide whether we are the right place for a holiday for you. We are always happy to hear suggestions for improvements/solutions and always happy to make additional adaptations if we can.

Potential obstacles

The paths/roads on the site are all compacted gravel, they are unmade

Paths/driveways

During your stay with us we can have all the main access gates open except one. The main gate to the site as you come through the drive needs to remain closed other than for access. It is electric and can be opened via a code on the access panel. We are very happy to respond to the intercom when arriving and we can come and open the gate and are happy to also open the gate at pre-arranged times but there are times.

Gates

Within the yurts there are roll up window blinds that tie at the top. These are not accessible from a seated position and require both hands to roll and tie them. We are struggling to find a solution to make them accessible. We are very happy to offer a ‘roll-up/roll-down’ service where we come in at a pre-arranged time and roll them up/down for you.
