3 bedrooms, 2 ground floor, sleeps 7

Assessed as Accessible Accommodation NAS Mobility 2, there are three bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor and both have en-suite wet room facilities.

The double bedroom has a 5ft king size bed. There is a large bathroom (about 12ft by 5ft 6ins wide) non-slip tiles, with a wet room type shower area with rain shower, separate hose and level access (not a cubicle).

A wheelchair can be wheeled under the basin and there is space either side of the basin to put toiletries/shaving items on. The large illuminated mirror comes right down to the basin, which mean that even when sitting in the wheelchair, you can see yourself in the mirror.

There are grab rails above the bath, next to the toilet (with douche spray) and in the shower area. Whilst we have provided a drop-down seat in the shower area, if guests require to use a plastic shower chair, we do have those as well.

The other ground-floor bedroom has a double and a single bed. This means that it can either be used as a family room, occupied by parents and a child, or by two adults and one gets a double bed.

The en-suite (also 12ft by 5ft 6ins) has a large range of fitted cupboards, standard height. Again, the shower area is large with level access, all fully tiled with non-slip tiles to the floor. The shower hose can be detached from the sliding rail for ease of use. (This was suggested to us by one of the first guests that stayed in this cottage).

On the first floor is a pretty twin bedroom accessed by an oak staircase in the living area. This also has an en-suite bathroom with bath, toilet and washbasin.

Additionally downstairs, there is also a separate utility room with a toilet and washbasin.

This cottage has spacious rooms enabling someone in a wheelchair to manoeuvre around the cottage easily. Parking is next to the cottage, the driveway is tarmac to make pushing a wheelchair easier, and there is a ramp to the entrance door.

This cottage is the most popular for families with a member who needs a ground floor bedroom or just friends who require the extra en-suite facilities.

3 bedrooms, sleeps 6

This cottage, assessed as Accessible Accommodation NAS Mobility 1, has three bedrooms, all of which are on the first floor. There is also a family bathroom upstairs.

On the ground floor is a separate shower room with WC, so for someone who was not good at climbing stairs, once they had made the journey down in the morning, there would be washing / toilet facilities downstairs for them to use till it was time for them to go upstairs to bed.

Cars can be parked in front of the cottage and there is ramp with level access to the entrance door. Again, at the rear of the cottage, reached by the lounge door, is a ramp leading down into the enclosed flagged garden area with a picnic table.

4 bedrooms, sleeps 9

This cottage is assessed as Accessible Accommodation NAS Mobility 1. To get to the main door there are five wide steps. Once inside, the original part of the building, comprises of a very large dining kitchen with breakfast bar and an inner hall to two en-suite bedrooms, one double and one twin room (which can actually be put together to make a superking size bed).

The new building has a separate orangery style dining room. Off this dining hall, are two steps up to two large en-suite bedrooms. There is also a staircase down into a very large attractive living room which opens to a large conservatory.

There are doors leading out the garden areas, making it a light and spacious cottage. However, due to the sloping site of the cottage, we cannot avoid having short flights of steps leading to the different living/sleeping areas and the landscaped gardens.

In my honest opinion, the Piggeries is only suitable for guests that can manage a flight of stairs. It would not be suitable for any guests in a wheelchair.
