Sleeps
Wheelchair-friendly
A family home, bungalow with 3/4 bedrooms. There is a hot tub in the garden and we are 20 mins from the world heritage sight Bath. Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle can be swapped.
We have hoist tracking in our living area, bathroom and son’s bedroom. He sleeps in a safe space bed.
The house is off the street and private. It is not a clinical home and we have personal effects and clutter… we would make it as nice as we can for anyone visiting. ☺️

In the area
We are in a beautiful area near Bath. Other local towns include Frome (lovely market town), Glastonbury (alternative), Bristol (iconic city), wells (where hot fuzz was filmed).
It’s a lovely area of the country, from quaint old country pubs to cities to explore you can really explore within an hour from the house you can stay entertained.
