During the constructipon of Ash lodge we were very concerned that it be a facility that every one could use, able bodied, elderly and wheel chair users. With this in mind we have taken as much advice as possible and hope that you will choose to book this disabled friendly holiday accommodation in wales.

The decking around the property is all ramped as is the pathways, the decking extends right up to the wide access french doors into the property. As with some images it is sometimes hard to judge size so we have included an adult wheelchair to give you some idea, hope that helps, please do not take offence.

The front and rear of the property is also layed with paving slabs. The walkway is covered by an overhang, giving shelter, so you can enjoy the views and fresh air without getting sun burnt or wet. There is a hand rail which is also there for the elderly to use whilst moving around outside the property.

The living room and kitchen is open plan and the hall way and doors are also wide. There are two bathrooms, one is made with the disabled in mind.

The shower has no sides as the room has a completely sealed floor so its called a "wet room" the shower is easy to operate and has a safely thermostate. Both shower, toilet and sink have grab rails. We can also hire additional aids if required hoist, shower chair, commode, bed rail etc. We have to book them in advance so if you do require them please inform us as soon as you book Ash Tree Lodge.

Weither you or a member of your family are physically disabled or have a autistic child or autistic adult who requires lots of space, this place is very special, the views, the countryside, the birds, the big skys all make for a memorable holiday with those special people in your lives, in which time, and every single moment is cherrished.

Our goal is to enable the disabled and to encourage independance when ever possible. So please come back to view the site again or call and speak to grace about your requirements.

If you need additional disabled assistance i.e a hoist please call to arrange.

What our disabled users said:

Trevor and family from kent
"An excellant holiday, I am wheel chair bound, "MND", very good thought out ideas for all especially for the disabled, superbly equiped to feel relaxed and comfortable.
Glorious views always interesting, peaceful and enjoyable with the birds, animals whose activitys abound. "

Trevor has motor neurone disease, so is quite restricted, he came down to the lodge with is family and additional equipment was hired for his stay, (hoist, shower chair wheeles). He was very content, as he had plenty of space for his wheel chair. The decking with hand rails enabled him to pull himself to a standing position to look out across the fields. The covered walkway around the lodge also provided him with shelter when we had spells of rain, but still allowed him to be outside. The bathroom facilities were commented on quite a few times as it gave Trevor independance.

It was an acheivement as accommodation providers to see that all his needs had been catered for, it was great having Trevor and his family at Ash Tree Lodge. We had fullfilled our mission.

His favourite days out on his adapted trike wheel chair was the Llanelli Cycle path and the National Botanical Garden of wales.

Andy with mum and dad from Reading

"Most enjoyable relaxing break - Beautiful countryside, enjoyed watching the
birds and animals. Lots of superb places to visit within easy drive. The Lodge cosy comfortable and warm. Grace and family very welcoming.
Looking forward to our next visit. "

Andy is a 41 year old 6ft autistic adult. The lodge for him was spacious, bright, and had all the activities he required for his stay, and the wet room (disabled bathroom) with walk in shower was great fun.
