Holiday Accommodation
Some of the accommodation linked to this site MAY be suitable for those visitors with visual, hearing or physical impairments. We would advise that you check your requirements with the proprietor of the establishment before booking.
National Accessible Scheme
Proprietors of accommodation taking part in the National Accessible Scheme are committed to accessibility. If you have particular mobility, visual or hearing needs, look out for our National Accessible Scheme.
You can be confident of finding accommodation or attractions that meet your needs by looking for the nationally recognised symbols. Properties and attractions displaying these symbols will have met the National Accessible Scheme criteria. If you have addition special needs or requirements you are recommended to make sure that these can be met by your chosen establishment before confirming your reservation.
