I’m a wheelchair user – these are the best accessible self-catering stays in the UK

Bi-fold doors lead out onto a large patio area with idyllic views at Heddwch Retreat - (Behind the Lens Media)

As a wheelchair user, whenever I plan a trip in the UK, my heart sinks at the thought of having to find somewhere new to stay that is both fully accessible and meets my specific needs. Typically, this will involve a search lasting numerous hours, with much frustration along the way. I know that I am far from alone in this.

Self-catering accommodation that has some of the necessary equipment already on-site tends to be the ideal choice. These types of stay save you from having to hire specialist kit. And unlike in a hotel, there are no set meal times, nor is there pressure to leave your accommodation each day while it is cleaned.
