There’s nothing better than getting away from it all for a week or two and staying in a part of the UK countryside that you haven’t been to before.

But if you are wheelchair bound or you have some other type of disability that prevents you from easily using a traditional cottage or property to stay in, why not consider mobility cottages and log cabins?

The idea of doing this is that you will find things much easier to handle. For example, these properties may come with ramps to allow for wheelchair access, and kitchen counters at a lower level to make it easier to reach them. Other items that you often see include rails fitted in the bathroom and round the toilet, to enable the user to move round the bathroom much more easily.

Log cabins are often designed in a similar fashion. While some regular properties are accessible for some people with disabilities, mobility cottages and log cabins are always going to be easier to access because they are designed with a different user in mind.

A good way to find these properties is to start searching online for them. Some companies make a point of finding and offering these types of places for hire. Others simply advertise on a one to one basis, setting up their own website to promote the properties they have available.

Another good point to bear in mind is that it can help to call the property owners to ask exactly what facilities they can provide. They will be experienced in making sure that every disabled visitor has the best possible time there, and they might be able to suggest the ideal property for you in the process.

Staying in mobility cottages and log cabins makes life a lot easier than trying to fit into a standard property. You won’t have to spend the journey there wondering how suitable your accommodation will be, since you know it is designed to appeal to disabled visitors. And that means you can get on with enjoying a fantastic holiday, no matter where you decide to go.
