The window looks onto our wildlife gardens where countless varieties of birds and our neighbourhood squirrels come to feed and bathe. Little details make a special difference - the television is large for folk with poor sight and the easy chairs of a design to suit less-mobile people; things like the dehumidifier and the touch-operated lamps were included after interactive research with wheelchair users who arrived as first-time guests but are now regular visitors and special friends. Guests with special needs are provided with an emergency radio button with which to summon help if their carer is out of the room.

The WHEELCHAIR-ACCESS EN SUITE BATHROOM was designed and built with reference to the needs of access challenged people and guests convalescing following illness; see the shower seat, the wheelchair access basin and transfer rails for the toilet. Able bodied guests are not forgotten though - the floor in this picture has under floor heating. Indeed, the heating of the whole suite is zoned such that a carer can be at a different temperature to that for mobility challenged guests.
