Wheelchair/Disability Friendly Holiday Home(S) In Cardiff, Wales.

[Dizmo]

Does anyone know of any wheelchair friendly and disability friendly holiday homes in Cardiff, Wales? I’ve already managed to find a place in Scotland (near Stranraer) that is 100% equipped to cater for someone in a wheelchair – it’s absolutely amazing, they have thought of everything, and I mean everything.

I’m now looking for a similar place in Wales, preferably Cardiff, because I have a friend that lives there. He lives in Penarth, however I suspect I’ve got no chance of finding something so close, so Cardiff is probably going to be the next best thing. I don't want to have to drive across Wales to meet up with my mate.

Anyone live in Wales that may know of a perfect location? I could spend hours searching the internet, however the issue with that is that you never know until you get there, if it’s going to be suitable or not.

Last year I drove for 9 hours, just to test the holiday cottage out in Scotland for 2 days – I just didn’t see the point in paying £1000 for a week for somewhere that may not be suitable.

Thanks 😊

Diz.

bednobs: Yeah, it's a little out of the way. Thank you for replying though. I may ask you about those locations a later date (if you don't mind that is?), if we decide to just visit Wales and not be close to my mate.

LB: Sorry, I forgot to reply sooner, I'm currently on holiday (the place in Scotland) so haven't been stuck to my computer/laptop as much as I usually am.

Have you seen, recently, (inside) any of the holiday  homes, that you listed, or know of anyone that has? I haven't investigated then online yet (check pictures etc). I'm very cautious of how accessible places are. About 90% of 'wheelchair accessible' places I've visited, locally, aren't technically wheelchair accessible. They may have a ramp, however many of them haven't considered things like tiny steps/lips (even 1/2 inch can make things very difficult), turning circles, poor disabled toilet layouts, furniture in the way, etc. Stuff like that often gets overlooked.

Thanks again for your suggestion, I'll see what I can find out about those places.
