"After 10 years of hiring holiday houses with disabled access and facilities, both in the UK and overseas, this is the best appointed that we have found. A pity it couldn't be cloned and used as a standard. But this is also quite a special location. Thanks for a very accessible and peaceful time."

The Byre has been converted to residential holiday accommodation with the wheelchair user in mind. We have also taken into consideration the needs of the visually and hearing impaired guests. The building is single storey on a level site offering spacious and quality accommodation. Immediately outisde the main entrance door is Tarmaced car parking space. We have recently been assessed for the National Accessible Scheme and were graded mark 3. We have made the bedrooms as adaptable as possible by offering a choice of twin beds or a large double bed in each and bespoke dressing tables with clear underspaces. The en suite shower room with a thermostatically controlled shower has a wet area with an adjustable height washbasin (click for photo). The toilet enables transfer from either side (click for photo). As an extra convenience we have included a body drier and self-propelled shower chair (click for photo). The second bathroom has a thermostatically controlled shower over the bath, a washbasin and toilet. Each of these rooms has anti-slip flooring. The living room, comprising kitchen, dining and seating areas is open plan for ease of movement. The hob (click for photo) and sink (click for photo) have space underneath to allow easy access for a wheelchair user. Depending upon the individual needs of our guests, additional equipment can be provided and a hire list made available. We welcome questions prior to booking to ensure that, as far as possible, we are able to meet the special requirements of our guests. We have taken special care to design a comfortable and attractive environment for your stay whilst also ensuring that provisions for any extra needs have been made.

"A really wonderful place, total tranquillity. Peter and Liz gave us a warming, friendly welcome. Truly homely we loved the cream tea! Superb quality. So much thought and care has obviously been used to make people with disabled needs feel dignified and respected. We'll be back!"
