The Able Stables - Sam's Cottage, East Rudham, Norfolk

Relax in this handsome larch cottage, set within The Able Stables complex on the owner's farm in the delightful village of East Rudham. Sam's Cottage is curated on one level and has been carefully created to incorporate the assisted living requirements of the independent wheelchair user if needed.

This is a fabulous property which presents a unique holiday for both disabled and non-disabled guests. Sam's Cottage offers an ideal bolthole free from the stresses of everyday life for anyone wishing to enjoy a secluded holiday in the Norfolk countryside. It is situated within its own private walled courtyard and the location makes it a perfect choice for all manner of holidaymakers: birdwatchers, walkers, cyclists, and beach lovers... anyone looking for a relaxing Norfolk 'hideaway' to escape to for a short or longer break throughout the seasons. Within the larch cottage there is a full wet room, kitchen, and dining area with wall mounted televisions in both the bedroom and kitchen. The cosy bedroom is set up as a super-king size bed, however this can be made up as two singles on request.

The Able Stables can arrange for either right or left transfer for the bed when set up as a double and raise the bed to accommodate a hoist which can be rented from Norwich.. Please request at time of booking.

A truly amazing outside/inside sitting room with ample comfortable seating and dining area, unique furniture, wood burning stove and overhead heating adds to the charm and individuality of this destination.

Sam's Cottage is run as a social enterprise. Together with the owner's other property, Hewie's Cottage, the funds raised from paying guests go towards offering subsidised breaks to clients that would normally not be able to pay to get away. With these subsidised breaks there is an emphasis on disability of all kinds, but the property would suit anyone that wanted a great place to get away in a unique, reassuring, and safe space.

When booking, if you do have specific accessibility requests, please speak to the team who will be able to help you further.

If you are a larger group why not consider taking Hewie's Cottage too and make the most of all that both properties offer.
