Pet-friendly cottages in Devon for disabled people
Promenades and peaceful tranquil lanes are ideal for people with mobility problems
Getting out and about with mobility problems can be difficult, however, with the right holiday accommodation adapted for your specific needs and selecting somewhere in Devon with pedestrianised traffic free areas such as seaside promenades and certain town centres, getting out and about is achievable.
Promenades are very good places to take in the sea air, they're flat and wide allowing space for walkers, wheelchairs and often bicycles.
Devon has a good selection of National Trust properties to visit. These offer houses to explore, beautifully maintained gardens, a cafe and best of all are usually wheelchair friendly.
You may of course just wish to rent a holiday cottage in the Devon countryside and enjoy the birdsong, sunsets and greenery from the patio. Everyone to their own preferences. Do click on the photographs of a Devon cottage shown to find holiday cottages and self-catering accommodation that accepts pets and is suitable for disabled people. The level of access will vary so do read the details. Cottage owners who live on-site are often very willing to assist where possible, so do ask.
Renting suitable holiday accommodation equipped for disabled people and wheelchair users is the first step to a successful break.
Promenades and disabled toilets in Devon
Get around Devon without crossing your knees and hoping for the best

A certain amount of preparation still needs to be done before going on holiday to identify disabled toilets and possibly mobility centres.
Devon councils are very good at keeping list of toilets with disabled access up to date. Click on the following headings to find toilets for the disabled in various parts of Devon:
