Everyone Deserves a Warm Welcome
At Bumblebee Escapes, we believe accessibility is about far more than ramps and measurements. It's about creating a welcoming, supportive environment where every guest feels comfortable, valued and able to enjoy their stay.
Every guest has different needs, and while our accommodation may not be suitable for everyone, we're always happy to have an honest conversation before you book. We'll happily answer any questions, provide photographs or measurements where needed, and explain the layout of each property so you can decide whether it's the right fit for you.
We believe it's far better to have an open conversation beforehand than for guests to arrive and discover something unexpected.
Where possible, we're also happy to make small adjustments to help make your stay easier. Whether that's moving lightweight furniture, providing additional information before arrival or simply answering lots of questions, we'll always do everything we reasonably can to help.
Our aim is simple—to make every guest feel welcome from the very first enquiry.

These steps are relatively narrow with a higher final step into the hot tub. Because of this, guests with reduced mobility may find access difficult. We recommend considering this carefully before use, although the decision is entirely yours during your stay.

If you require any measurements before booking, we'd be happy to provide these.

Guests can park close to both pods, with only a short walk to the pod entrance.

Entrance
Each pod has a small number of steps up the decking, leading to the pod doorway.
Accommodation Layout
Both pods are single-level once inside and include:
- Open-plan bedroom
- Seating area
- Kitchenette
- Ensuite shower room
Bathroom
Each pod has an ensuite bathroom with:
- Walk-in shower
- Toilet

Hot Tub
Each pod has its own private outdoor hot tub accessed by fixed steps.
As with the cottage, guests should consider whether these steps are suitable for their own mobility needs.
We're Here to Help
If you have any questions about accessibility before booking, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
No question is too small, and we'd much rather discuss your individual requirements beforehand to help you choose accommodation that's right for you.
Our goal is to provide clear, honest information so every guest can book with confidence.
