Hoe Grange Holidays

Based in the stunning Derbyshire Peak District, Hoe Grange has to be one of the top choices when it comes to accessible accommodation. These beautifully tailored log cabins have been designed specifically for disabled people, and their understanding of accessibility has won them numerous awards and accolades over the years, with their latest achievement being the Autism Friendly Award.

The cabins are set on a working family farm, which offers little ones the chance to meet the farm animals, collect eggs from the chickens and learn about country life. The surroundings are breathtaking and you will find lots to do across the countryside, from walking and cycling routes, to parks, villages and tourist attractions.

The cabins themselves offer an incredibly cosy and relaxing retreat for a break, the living area has a log effect fire, the open-plan kitchen is well-equipped and the large double doors open out onto a superb decking area that also boasts a hot tub (available on request).

The cabins are also eco-friendly as they are heated using renewable technologies, so you will leave a lighter carbon footprint when you stay there too.

Bedroom space is generous and the beds look inviting and comfortable. The accessible wet rooms are very well equipped and any mobility equipment required is available free of charge with the booking, the hosts simply ask that it is booked in advance to avoid disappointment.

Lovely touches like home baking on arrival, just add to the magic of staying at Hoe Grange, and the welcome you will receive here will be second to none.
