Mellwaters Barn has been rated under the National Accessible scheme as suitable for:
With our personal experience with dealing with disabilities, we take great pleasure in welcoming people who may be in a wheelchair or just less able to walk without help.
The cottages were designed by a wheelchair user who understands the problems of accessibility. The access to the cottages is exceptionally good and the purpose-built footpaths make the farm accessible too so that everyone can enjoy the magnificent views. We have aimed to provide disabled holiday accommodation which has features to make visitors as comfortable as possible, from hoists to wet rooms and the welcoming of assistance dogs.

" Excellent place for the disabled, carers and family. Clean and tidy from top to bottom. Has all the facilities you need for a disabled person. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Fully equipped kitchen for family meals but for eating out, handy for local pubs and resturants. Located in a lovely working farm and gorgeous views surround. Owners very welcoming and always on hand to help/resolve any issues! A must place to visit."
