We have good facilities for our less-able guests and welcome pets.

Both Living Elements and Nature’s Elements are wheelchair accessible, although they have different facilities available. Palmer’s is fully wheelchair accessible on the ground floor, with a downstairs single bedroom and its own bathroom with large shower, bath and toilet with a sink.

More details about access and facilities are available for each house are on their links below.

Pets are welcome and we have a separate page for you to download with details of our and the local facilities, plus what we expect of you and your pet when you stay here. Pet T&C’s 

Nature’s Elements – the smaller of the properties is fully wheelchair compliant for access and we have a fully accessible groundfloor toilet too. Note there is a step up for the shower, just 15cms but it does have a shower stool.. The entrance is via a tarmac car park. There is easy access through one of the bedrooms to the rear large south-facing patio and garden too.
