Update Sept. 2017: The Relative Lieutenant visited and said the access was OK but he loved their disabled toilet so much he nominated them for a BBS Award. It’s located under the stairs at reception and can just about fit a wheelchair. …………………………………………………………………….. The Ryebeck is a country house and restaurant. It sits above Lake…
Hipping Hall is another Hotel in the same group as The Forest Side. A stylish restaurant and hotel on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and within a few miles of the Lake District, Hipping Hall isn’t very accessible, unlike The Forest Side, although they try and help. Here’s how they describe their rooms/restaurant: ‘Regarding wheelchair…
The Forest Side is Tatler’s ‘Best Kept Secret’ in their Restaurant Awards 2016. Described as a ‘Gothic mansion…….Set in the magical lake District landscape of Wordsworth’s beloved Grasmere’. It’s the 3rd hotel by Andrew Wildsmith and was a Victorian guest house that’s undergone a £4.5m renovation. It certainly looks more stylish than the normal B&Bs/guest houses…
We’ve been to Bellanger the New Corbin & King venture and like all their places it’s an event. On Islington Green it attracts the great and the good of the area as you’d expect from a group that owns Piccadilly’s place to be seen, The Wolseley.

Last week was my annual holiday with my family and friends, 11 of us stayed in the luxury villa, Can-Morna, in San Carles, Ibiza and originally it was not adapted for wheelchair use although it was all on one level. The owners however couldn’t have been more accommodating and even adapted the wet room by…
This review came in from Brian Jensen in 2012: “Why not go to a place in Thailand with 100 % wheelchair access. New villa in Hua Hin, 200 km from Bangkok http://www.careresorts.com. I have been there many times, and I know it’s perfect. There is room for 8-10 person, and 4 of the bedroom/bathrooms are accessible…
The White Swan has been around since 1787 and has gone through many incarnations. It is now a restaurant and bar/pub. It certainly looks and feels like an old pub with the addition of a conservatory and courtyard at the back. Near the River Thames and just down from Richmond Green (where there’s pay &…
