The kitchen surfaces and appliances are all wheelchair accessible with room to manoeuvre.

There is also a range of special equipment available, at no extra cost, such as mobile hoist, monkey pole, shower chairs, pressure relief mattress etc.

The furniture and fittings are of extremely high quality and design, and each cottage has recently been refurbished and has its own individual style.
