Care and respite stays
Since opening, Mountain Lodge and Coastal Cottage have provided exceptional respite stays for guests with urgent and complex needs, particularly during times when their own homes are being adapted or when essential equipment is being repaired or replaced. In these circumstances, the properties offer not simply accommodation, but comfort, reassurance and continuity at moments when it matters most.
The properties have also welcomed children’s and adults’ care homes seeking a safe, restorative break from routine environments. While carers may understandably arrive with concerns about managing outside their usual setting, these are consistently replaced by confidence and relief upon arrival, as the quality of the accommodation, thoughtful design and outstanding accessibility become immediately clear. The result is an experience that supports not only practical needs, but also dignity, wellbeing and genuine peace of mind.
We are able to provide evidence of LOLA testing and public liability insurance, together with support video walkthroughs and site visits, to assist with the completion of any required risk assessments. Our aim is to ensure that care providers, organisations and supporting professionals have the information and reassurance they need to assess the suitability of the property with confidence.
We also warmly welcome partnerships with corporate care providers. To discuss requirements or make an enquiry, please use the button below.
The Philosophy
The opportunities that able bodied and able minded people take for granted should be opportunities for all. Mountain Lodge and Coastal Cottage set the example in standards and affordability for accessible holiday accommodation.
Since opening, they are setting the benchmark on how accessibility can be achieved, combining affordability with taste and luxury. What makes these properties unique is that they have been designed and built by an Occupational Therapist, with every element, from spatial layout to equipment selection, thoughtfully considered with the user at the heart of every decision.
Consulting Services
By incorporating occupational therapy principles, the travel and tourism industry can embrace accessibility not as an afterthought, but as a core part of the experience. Tourism should empower individuals to engage in the occupations that shape their well-being, identity, and connection to the world, Occupational Therapy is the bridge that makes it possible.
