Lakeview Holiday Cottages consists of a selection of two & three bedroom two storey cottages and five two bedroom lodges, two of which been further adapted for wheel chair users or those with mobility difficulties. There are level paths and/or gently sloped ramps, leading up to each property, tarmac pathways edging the car park and a small threshold over which to step in order to enter the property. Our two storey properties are not recommended for wheelchair users or the very elderly.
The rear gardens enjoy a small paved area for al fresco dining and open plan grassed communal gardens. The gazebo’s, BBQ area, children’s play area and lake can be accessed via stepping stones and grassed lawns. This may cause some difficulty for those using wheelchairs, particularly in times of heavy rainfall. The lakeside walk is along a natural pathway carved from the undergrowth and is not recommended for wheelchair users.
