Inclusivity is the theme that flows throughout this fabulous property – one of three countryside retreats configured with ultra-accessibility for wheelchair users. A party of six can enjoy companionable downtime in the contemporary open-plan living space and chill out in the wood-fired hot tub. A duo of doggie pals are welcome too, so no one has to miss out on the holiday fun.
Admire the view as you approach your holiday home – this development of cottages neighbours a National Trust estate and boasts a beautiful, elevated location within acres of Warwickshire countryside. Expertly planned to offer a high-end home-from-home experience for wheelchair users and their families, each property features wide doors and a spacious single-level ground floor that prioritises guests’ time together. Prepare tasty meals in the modern kitchen, gather around the dining table, and unwind in the lounge area where there’s a Smart TV and ample floor space for the dogs to stretch out. A cloakroom completes the convenience for all. As bedtime nears, a vertical lift transports wheelchair users to their own specially created room, which has a profiling bed with hoist and ceiling track plus a further single bed. An en-suite wet room with shower, shower chair and WC ensures every need is catered for. A separate staircase leads onto a spacious first-floor landing with a choice of two further bedrooms – a king and a twin room – and a family shower room. Large gardens create a connection to the surrounding countryside. Simply open the sliding patio doors and step out onto the single-level patio to enjoy this beautiful space. There’s a table, chairs and charcoal BBQ for summer dining and for the ultimate luxury, a wood-fired hot tub with hoist and pergola overhead.
Your holiday home nestles deep within the countryside, next to the imposing Coughton Court and just 3 miles from the vibrant market town of Alcester. Shakespeare’s birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, is 8.5 miles away, with riverside walks, a bustling town centre and a pretty canal basin to explore. Or escape the crowds and discover The Greenway, a 5-mile section of the West Midlands Cycle Route which offers a high-quality surfaced path suitable for walkers and wheelchair users. Ragley Hall (6 miles) welcomes dogs on a lead and has 10 hectares of beautiful grounds including a ‘Woodland Walk’ to discover. Take a picnic and enjoy the view of the lake while the children have fun in the adventure playground; the estate is also the setting for the ultimate doggie day out, the annual DogFest event.
