There is a shared recreation room in the grounds with a large selection of games, books (including large print) a piano and guitars, sure to keep everyone entertained. There is a shared heated swimming pool with fully accessible changing rooms, showers and toilet. All around the pool there are grab rails and an Oxford Dipper Hoist, please bring your own sling or harness. The grounds offer a stunning view of the rolling countryside in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Perfect for dining al-fresco, having a barbecue or just reading a book.
The cottages are located in rural Dorset so bringing your own vehicle is a must, particularly if you wish to explore the wonders which Dorset has to offer. There is a pub a short drive from the cottages which is suitable for wheelchair users. There are many wheelchair accessible activities a short drive away including the National Trust site of Brown Sea Island, where you might catch a glimpse of the elusive red squirrels. You need to get a boat from Poole, but this is wheelchair accessible. Perhaps travel to Swanage and get the steam train to Corfe Castle, or head to the beautiful town of Wimborne with its model scale of the town, as it looked in 1950. Visit the Tank Museum with the world’s best collection of tanks, or the Oceanarium in Bournemouth with penguins, sharks and turtles. The Dinosaur Museum in Dorchester or Abbotsbury Swannery are also well worth a visit. Shop 3 miles, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 13 guests.
