Braunton Accessible Bungalow - Property Information
UPDATE: New Profiling Bed for Enhanced Accessibility
We're excited to announce that the master bedroom in our Braunton Accessible Bungalow now features a single low-profiling bed with a pressure care mattress, along with a fold-out carer’s bed. Located in Braunton village, just a five-minute drive from Saunton Beach, this accessible holiday home offers a wheelchair-friendly stay for 4-6 guests.
Thoughtfully designed for accessible wheelchair friendly holidays, this single-storey bungalow includes features like a ceiling hoist from the master bedroom to the ensuite wetroom, making it one of the only properties in the area to provide both a profiling bed and hoist.
