Our carefully selected range of accessible cottages includes single-level bungalows with wide doorways and specially designed wheelchair-friendly properties that ensure comfort and independence during your stay. We understand that accessibility needs vary, which is why our collection spans properties with wet rooms, ramp access, adjusted kitchen heights, and handrails in key locations.
The British countryside, with its rolling hills, dramatic coastlines, and charming villages, offers some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes. We’re passionate about ensuring these natural treasures can be enjoyed by all visitors, regardless of mobility considerations.
Each property in our accessible collection has been personally vetted to meet specific accessibility standards while never compromising on charm or comfort. We work closely with property owners who share our dedication to inclusive holidays and understand the importance of accurate accessibility information.
Creating barrier-free holiday opportunities sits at the heart of everything we do at Secret Holidays, because we believe wonderful memories shouldn’t have limits.
