This delightful cottage was converted in 1996 from the old cider barn and designed specially to be wheel chair friendly. It is particularly bright and airy with extra light thrown by three large skylights. Although there is good access and plenty of room for wheel-chair users (in most respects the facilities satisfy Category 1 of the National Accessible Accommodation Standard) we believe that the cottage is best suited for a disabled person visiting with a carer. The area is well provided with places to visit. There is good access for wheel chair users onto Carne and Pendower beaches nearby and activities such as Bird watching at Ruanlanihorne and St Anthony (a bird hide is provided by the NT with wheel chair access) are possible.

The main accommodation is on the ground floor, which has easy access to the car park with ramps for wheel chair access.  Galleried  studio (21ft x 13ft) with comfortable sofa and chairs around wood-burning stove.  Open plan kitchen/dining area overlooks a paved patio with garden furniture.  Twin bedroom with shower room/WC adjacent.  Double and single bedded  room with en-suite shower(tub) room/WC.. French windows opening onto garden. Additional accommodation suitable for children (low headroom) in gallery. All the accommodation is on the ground  floor,  there are no steps within the accommodation.







There is level access to the living room with an inward opening door of 89cms. The floor surface is carpet or lino, and there is space for a wheelchair to manoeuvre. The height of the door knobs are 93cms, light switches 11 7cms, and electric sockets 50 cms.
