Hoe Grange Holidays - Accessible Holidays

From www.hoegrangeholidays.co.uk: If you are looking for disabled holidays, all four of our cosy log cabins have level thresholds throughout and are rated under the National Accessible Scheme, giving you the confidence to book with us. Hipley, Rainster and Daisybank log cabins all have two bedrooms, sleeping up to 4 guests, and are wheelchair friendly with a spacious accessible layout. They have walk in wet room showers with grab rails, achieving NAS Mobility Level 2 and Level 3 Assisted. For those with hearing loss or partial sight these 3 lodges are also rated Hearing Level 1 and Visual Level 1. Our larger Pinder cabin has three bedrooms, with a standard family bathroom and is rated NAS Mobility Level 1, ideal for more mobile, active guests.

Mobility

Access to the Hipley and Daisybank cabins is well provided for by wide gently sloping ramps, complete with sturdy handrails. To make things easy all the thresholds are level. Rainster has easy access from your parking space, which is on level ground within a few meters of the lodge. There is plenty of outside lighting for those dark winter nights. Hipley, Rainster and Daisybank all have two bedrooms. They are wheelchair friendly, with wide doorways and a spacious accessible layout that can easily accommodate up to two wheelchair users at a time.

Fully accessible shower rooms

The shower rooms are easily accessible from the twin bedroom and have been designed as wheel-in wet rooms, with hand support rails, plenty of transfer space, and an adjustable shower head with thermostatic control. All taps are level operated, and there is a choice of mobile shower chairs available should you need one. There are drop down support bars on both sides of the toilet. Daisybank and Rainster also have Pressalit Care adjustable wash basins, which can be raised in height and can be moved away from the toilet allowing space for carers to give assistance from either side.

Electric profile beds & mobile hoist

In the twin bedroom in these 3 cabins there is one single electric profile bed, with sufficient clear space under the bed to allow for the use of a mobile hoist, which you can book free of charge. Rainster and Hipley have Volker profile beds which are also height adjustable with pull up cot sides.

Comfort and style

For added comfort and if you need extra assistance getting to your feet Daisybank, Rainster and Hipley all have rise and recline armchairs. Great attention has been given to detail, to aid the less able guest without compromising on style. We provide specially designed wardrobes with shelving and lower clothes rails, light switches within easy reach, and doors that dont get in the way. The kitchen has good low-level storage space, and you can easily reach all the appliances from a wheelchair.

Dog friendly

We welcome assistance dogs free of charge, and there is ample room for them to walk and exercise, so that they too can have a holiday. Check out our map of dog friendly places.

Partially sighted or blind

The cabins are suited for the Blind as they are spacious with level thresholds throughout. For holiday guests with partial eye sight, the door frames and skirting boards, door handles, and hand rails are of contrasting colours. To aid vision there is a good level of lighting throughout; there is a bright reading lamp in the lounge, and touch lamps in the bedrooms. Hipley, Rainster and Daisybank are NAS rated Visual Level 1.

Hard of hearing

For guests who are hard of hearing or deaf, our televisions have subtitle facilities, and the alarm clocks have flashing lights and vibrating modes. You can book a portable flashing/vibrating fire alarm which can be used in any of the cabins. The portable induction hearing loop can easily be used in any of our self catering log cabins. The easy-to-use, rechargeable, portable loop system enables people with a hearing aid with a T setting to hear more clearly, without annoying background noises. This means they can listen to television independently of the volume control on the TV so as not to disturb others. Hipley, Rainster and Daisybank are NAS rated Hearing Level 1.
