Hi everyone Is it just me or is planning a holiday a nightmare now? Don’t get me wrong I love holidays, but now all I think about is should I take the scooter or wheelchair. If scooter will charge last if chair someone will have to push me. Will it be a shower over the bath? (no good) will there be enough room? Will. be able to get in the bed? Once I start I just fill with dred at the thought of being a burden. Letting my family down and always putting a negative on it! I would just like to get away to a fun place with lots to do. Have great accommodation. And without costing the earth is it possible? Your input would be great 🙂 ---

I agree it is a nightmare. My tip is to look for booking sites that allow you to sort choices for wheelchair or elder access (click advanced search). This sifts out the Impossibles. I then usually follow a link to the cottage/hotels own website and look for the access statement which should give a good description of what’s available. If you fancy a trip to Wales the ‘visit wales’ website has an accessibility tab for all of its accommodation. Sandy ---

Hi, recently had my first holiday tailored to disability. For years we had lovely motorhomes, but I kept falling out of them…and finding the bed and shower not suitable anymore…bespoke motorhomes cost around 50k…ouch, I know! So in May, 2 carers and me went to stay at a hotel in Blackpool, which had all the kit I have at home. It was great. In September, the 3 of us are going to a specially adapted caravan on a haven holiday park in Filey. Hubby doesnt fancy these places, so he`s taking himself off, in the campervan for a few days, with our doggy. If you google `disabled holidays`…you`ll get several ideas. About your scooter and it`s charge…just take the charger with you…I do! luv Pollx ---

Hi there, I’m still searching for something too, I keep dipping my toe in, then pulling back out again, but gonna have to grab the bull by the horns n go for something! Poll, I saw u mention your carers going, that sounds a great idea if hubby wants to go solo with something!
