The Church at The Old Manse

My family had a brilliant time at the Old Church at the manse. It’s rare to find a bedroom configuration that suits us but this house has 3 double rooms on the ground floor, one having an en-suite wetroom. (Two bedrooms upstairs too). The ground floor had lots of space. We didn’t have a person who uses a wheelchair with us but the light coloured flooring and flat nature of the ground floor made it very easy to navigate for people with visual impairment and mobility issues. The upstairs area is unlikely to be the draw for physically disabled people, given the spiral staircase. The snooker table and bedrooms upstairs were brilliant but of no interest to my disabled sister so in no way a problem for us. In fact, the snooker table and tv and sofa upstairs gave my parents some time to chill alone. Accessibility and luxury don’t always go hand in hand but this property does cover both bases at once, certainly for the level of accessibility that we needed. A really unique property worth a look if you have a unique family like mine. ❤️

Great house, wonderfully finished, everything thought of - even down to freshly roasted and ground coffee! Couldn't believe there was full-size snooker table -and plenty of toys for the kids. More importantly, there was plenty of room for my mother to navigate her electric wheelchair - she had as much freedom of movement about the ground floor as the rest of us. Many locations claim to be wheelchair accessible (ie. you can get into them, and maybe the bathroom is accessible) but not many are actually wheelchair friendly. There was plenty of room in bedrooms, living space, and shower room for my mum. My father says the bedroom and shower-room was first class. Because of the open-plan layout she was able to be part of all the craic wherever it was happening. Bright and breezy internal space. Lovely space to spend a holiday in. (Weather was miserable when we were there, but spending 5 days inside this house wasn't a problem. Plenty of activities provided, plenty of fun had!). Plenty of bathrooms too. Shop close by in the village. Kitchen had everything needed. We had other family members staying elsewhere who joined us for a meal and the kitchen was able to cope with cooking for a bigger crowd of people. A superb house - photos don't do it justice!
