A high quality holiday caravan, with disabled access, is available to let. The caravan is set within a peaceful site overlooking the Dorset coast at Swanage.

The Caravan:
The caravan is exceptionally well equipped with two double bedrooms and sleeping accommodation for two more people in the dining area. It is very suitable for people with disabilities with a ramp to the entrance, although this is NOT suitable for use with heavy electric wheelchairs. The shower room and toilet are large enough for wheelchair access. It is equipped with a gas cooker, microwave, fridge, gas fire and colour TV with DVD and VCR. Duvets, pillows, cutlery and crockery are provided – visitors are asked to bring their own sheets/duvet covers, pillowcases, towels and tea towels.

Please note that for health reasons (many of our clients suffer with allergies) pets and smoking are absolutely not allowed in the caravan.
