Hill Lodge is a fully accessible self-catering annexe located in the semi-rural area of Beacon Hill near Poole, Dorset. Sleeping up to six guests across three bedrooms, this thoughtfully designed property offers a genuinely inclusive holiday experience, created and operated by a tetraplegic, full-time wheelchair user. Every aspect of the accommodation has been planned with real-world accessibility in mind, making it an excellent choice for wheelchair users, families, and guests with higher support needs. The heart of the property is the spacious open-plan living area, designed for ease of movement and comfort. A log burner provides a cosy focal point, while wide circulation space allows wheelchair users to move freely throughout. The fully accessible kitchen includes wheel-under counters, low-level work surfaces, and easy-reach appliances, supporting independent self-catering for guests with limited mobility. A standout accessibility feature is the Flexistep system located within the living space. This innovative system converts seamlessly from steps into a platform lift at the push of a button, enabling wheelchair users to move independently between levels without assistance. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family members or guests. These rooms include non-profiling beds and ensuite bathrooms. While they feature sloped ceilings at the foot of the beds, they offer a peaceful and practical space for ambulant guests. Outside, Hill Lodge continues its accessibility-focused design with a level patio area, free-standing seating, and smooth, wheelchair-friendly pathways around the garden. The private outdoor space offers countryside views and a relaxing setting for alfresco dining or unwinding after a day exploring Dorset. Ideally located just ten minutes from Poole Harbour, the property provides easy access to Sandbanks Beach, Studland Bay, Corfe Castle, Wareham Forest, and the Jurassic Coast. Local pubs, restaurants, shops, beaches, and accessible walking routes are all within easy reach, making Hill Lodge a superb base for both relaxed stays and active days out.
