Accessible Holiday Cottages

Browse self-catering cottages with facilities that may suit a range of access requirements. Every property is different, so check the individual listing and its Access Statement for the route from parking, steps or level access, bedroom and bathroom layout, and any specialist equipment before booking.

Use the filters to choose a location, party size and the features that matter to your stay. Accessible by train concerns the journey to a cottage; this collection concerns the property itself.

Plan an accessible self-catering break with confidence

“Accessible” can describe a wide range of features, from a ground-floor bedroom to a property designed for guests who use a wheelchair or need specialist equipment. It does not mean that every cottage will suit every person.

Before booking, check:

Arrival: Parking, slopes, surfaces, distances and steps can be as important as the accommodation itself.
The full route through the cottage: Confirm access to the living area, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and any outdoor space you plan to use.
Bathroom details: A wet room may be useful, but check the actual layout and equipment rather than relying on the name alone.
Measurements and photographs: Door widths, turning space, floor plans and clear images can help you decide whether a cottage is suitable.
Specialist equipment: Do not assume that a hoist, profiling bed, shower chair or mobility aid is provided unless it is listed and confirmed.
Your Access Statement: Read it before booking and contact the owner or manager if anything is unclear.

You can also combine your search with dog-friendly cottages, coastal holiday cottages or large holiday cottages. For rail travel rather than property access, see cottages accessible by train.

Frequently asked questions

Are all these cottages fully wheelchair accessible?

No. Accessibility features vary between properties. Check the individual listing, photographs and Access Statement to confirm whether a cottage suits your requirements.

Does a wet room mean a cottage is wheelchair accessible?

Not necessarily. Check the route into the bathroom, shower threshold, available turning space, fittings and any equipment you need.

Does a ground-floor property have step-free access?

Not always. A ground-floor bedroom or bathroom does not confirm a step-free route from parking or through the property. Check the full access information before booking.

Where can I find the Access Statement?

Look for it on the property page or the owner’s website. It should help explain the layout, steps, surfaces, door widths, bathroom facilities and other relevant details.

Can I bring an assistance dog?

Check the individual property’s dog policy and contact the owner or manager before booking if you have any questions about your requirements.
