Our Log Cabins

All the log cabins have a modern chic design with luxury and comfort built in. The accessible features are discreet and removeable when not needed. Three of the cabins, Daisybank, Rainster and Hipley, are fully wheelchair accessible and sleep up to 4 people.  The large open plan kitchen/lounge areas have ample space for wheelchairs and are equipped with rise and recline armchairs ,TV, stereo,  good lighting and stunning views. Although the kitchens in Hipley and Rainster have no adaptations, everything is (or can be) on a lower level. The kitchen in Daisybank has space under sink for wheelchair users.

Three cabins have fitted spacious wet-rooms, with grab rails, good lighting and a selection of mobile shower chairs. Daisybank and Rainster have adjustable sinks and Hipley has a Closomat wash dry toilet giving greater independence. Each cabin also has a second bathroom fitted with a double ended whirlpool bath.

The twin accessible rooms are equipped with profiling beds and room to operate one of the two mobile hoists available; the second bedroom can be made up as a double or a twin room.

Pinder cabin sleeps up to 6 in 3 bedrooms, (two doubles and a twin), has level thresholds throughout and is suitable for those who can walk a few steps. The shower has a small step into the cubical which can be fitted with a grab rail and seat if needed. With the addition of toilet frame and seat riser this is the ideal accommodation for larger groups.

There is more accommodation available on site in the form of our Gorgeous Glamping pods, and whereas these are not particularly accessible, they make great additional rooms for larger parties of up to 24 .

Get outdoors

All cabins have large decking areas easily accessed by wheelchair, with outdoor furniture, and uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. Daisybank and Pinder cabins have their own private hot tub, with a manual hoist available for the one situated on Daisybank deck.

The Peak District is probably the most accessible of the National Parks, with many of the iconic tourist attractions easily accessible by wheelchair. The trails that criss-cross the landscape are often fully accessible with some being disused railways with firm level paths that go deep into the stunning landscape.

Off-road wheelchair hire

Why not hire one of our two Boma 7 off-road wheelchairs and really access the countryside. Designed to enable wheelchair users and those with limited mobility to enjoy the thrills of being in the countryside, join in with the family walks and re-engage with the great outdoors. These powerful battery-operated rugged machines will tackle most fields, footpaths and trails and have a range of up to 15 miles. With easy to use controls, one being a joystick control and the other being more like a traditional mobility scooter control,  you will soon be confidently whizzing around the countryside.
