Had a very comfortable stay in this wheelchair accessible cottage. It is rare to find accommodation that is actually set up to accommodate the needs of a wheelchair user. The cottage sleeps 4, but we ended up using the spare room to store all our kit. We found plenty of places to visit in the local vicinity. Lymington is an old historic town, so not everywhere has level access or dropped kerbs. It is worth planning trips out before travelling.

Level access throughout this single storey accommodation. Rather tight turn from the bedroom to the bathroom for my husband's powered wheelchair.
