The house has a downstairs bedroom and bathroom turning the house into an accessible place for disabled holidays. A safety ramp has been built into the pool making it as accessible as possible for those who are disabled. Whilst the pool was under construction, the builders added a ramp into the house (because there was already easy level access from the road into the garden) an exercise area with impact-reducing tiles was added.
Future development on the list contains widening the doors for wheelchair access and the option of renovating the utility room into a wet room with wheelchair access. If you contact us you will be able to check and make sure that the house is suitable for your particular needs.
While chatting with the local agent for the house, she refers to “a booking from a Spanish family who had seen the house. Had brought their severely disabled daughter for a holiday - she was not only a wheelchair user but had multiple disabilities.” The agent made us aware that the family was completely ecstatic with the house and the pool ramp, she said the guests revealed to her that “it was just marvellous to see the look of genuine pleasure on their daughter’s face when she was having fun in the pool.”
In September this year a guest discovered an amazing, fully accessible beach about 20 minutes walk away, 5 minutes by car. “We watched as the lifeguards helped a girl who was a wheelchair user to use an amphibious wheelchair. I’d never seen one of these before. It’s a kind of tricycle-style chair with tyres adapted for the sand, a high back and handle for a helper to hold, and beneath the chair arms there’s an inflatable which allows you to go into the sea. The girl and her friend were sunbathing right on the water’s edge whilst the lifeguards looked after her wheelchair. I was really impressed.”
Having looked at the property, spoken to the agent and guests contacted for comments and any recommendations it isn’t hard to see why they all gave glowing reports and had smiles of fond memories on their faces vowing to return.
