Reviews
“We enjoyed our stay at the Olde House and would really like to visit again. The disabled accommodation was excellent and suited our needs very well. The spacious accommodation, hoist, profiling bed and plenty of electric sockets, made the holiday trouble free for us. It was obvious that a good deal of thought had gone into it’s development”.
“We just want to say a big thank you for your investment in Chestnut cottage and supplying everything we needed for an accessible holiday for someone who is paralysed and a power wheelchair user. You are a very scarce resource, especially with a profiling bed. It is most sincerely appreciated”.
“We had a wonderful time. Your Chestnut cottage was perfect in meeting the needs of my husband that the holiday was comfortable without any hassle. We are thinking of returning soon. Sarah in your reception was very welcoming and accommodating, listening to all our questions and needs including recommending places to go and eat that would be easy for one with mobility problems”.
