The wet room was great, though we borrowed a garden chair from outside so I had somewhere dry to sit and dry myself after using the shower seat. A small shelf by the shower would be useful to pop bottles on etc. There isnât much room in the bedrooms for a wheelchair but a bed could be pushed over to make room if needed. Our main issue was the very poor internet speed etc which compounded the issue of poor mobile reception. This would be an issue in an emergency. I was able to make an urgent call using mobile data in the end. Overall, a nice place to stay with good access to facilities, the beach, town and the very good Vegas fish and chips which has dedicated gluten free cooking area for allergies and coeliacs! Joining instructions and directions were good and very useful as otherwise, google maps etc directs you further along the road.

The owners recommendation to visit Wells was perfect - there was a path a mile along the inlet and suitable for a wheelchair! As well as lovely local shops.

As a full time wheelchair user, the facilities in the accomodation were spot on. For anyone with accessibility needs, the photos clearly show the set up. The owners were very friendly (but never intrusive). We found lots to do out and about for wheelchair inclusion, too. Looking to book for next year, now ! Thank you to Mr & Mrs R for a lovely stay !
