The Able Stables is a project in Norfolk offering subsidised, accessible accommodation within two adapted cottages, Sam and Hewie’s.
The cottages feature an open-plan design with kitchen, sitting area and a single bedroom with super king size/twin beds (which can be raised for a hoist if needed).
There is an accessible wet room with grab rails and shower chair.
The Able Stables is dog friendly and both cottages have access to a covered seating area surrounded by a private walled garden.
The owner is offering complimentary stays in return for a small donation as the business is run as a not-for-profit social enterprise. The guests that do pay to stay cover the cost of those that cannot.
It still has some space in both Hewie's and Sam's cottage during the late summer. Please enquire through their website.

Queen Elizabeth 2 Activity Centre
The QE2 Activity Centre in Hampshire provides a range of activities for both individuals and groups.
It also has five A Frame woodern cabins and one single storey woodern cabin available for family holidays and school educational visits.
The cabins sleep 8 people and have accessible shower and WC. They can be booked for self catering holidays for one to seven days, multi activity holidays and themed weeks.
The accomodation charges are for the cabin not the number of people.
Premier Inn is our accommodation choice for short breaks as it has consistently provided us with good service and wheelchair adapted rooms.
Unlike another leading chain the accommodation is always attached to a pub or a restaurant saving the need to reload and travel somewhere else for the evening meal and breakfast.
They offer a number of special offers throughout the year (starting at £29 a night) but you do need to book early to take advantage of the better deals.
The downside is the website doesn't tell you whether the disabled room has a wet room or a low bath. It also doesn't let you know if it's one double bed with a sofa bed or a twin room.
To find out this information you need to phone the hotel direct.
