Nestled within the picturesque village of Braddan on the enchanting Isle of Man, Braddan Bridge House stands as a testament to inclusivity and accessibility. Strategically located in the island’s capital, Douglas, this remarkable establishment is the flagship accommodation of the Joey Dunlop Foundation, a cherished Isle of Man Charity established in 2001 with a noble mission to create specialist lodging that welcomes visitors with disabilities.

Comprising five accessible apartments, Braddan Bridge House offers a welcoming retreat for guests of all abilities. Three ground floor units and two first-floor units, accessible via a platform lift, ensure that every guest can enjoy a comfortable stay. From the very outset, the design of Braddan Bridge House was carefully crafted with disabled guests in mind, reflecting the foundation’s unwavering commitment to inclusivity.

The complex features a diverse range of accommodations, including a single-bedroom unit and four two-bedroom units, all adorned with twin beds for maximum comfort and flexibility. Understanding the unique needs of less able visitors, the foundation offers comprehensive support to ensure a seamless holiday experience, including assistance with navigating the island’s attractions.

Each apartment can be tailored to meet specific requirements, with options for hoists and/or raising beds available. Moreover, all shower and bathroom facilities are wheelchair-friendly, ensuring accessibility without compromise. A platform lift provides convenient access to the first floor, further enhancing the convenience of the accommodations.
