Product Description

Hill Lodge in Beacon Hill, Dorset, is a welcoming, fully accessible self-catering retreat designed to provide comfort, independence, and peace of mind for guests with a wide range of mobility needs. Sleeping up to six guests, this thoughtfully converted annexe is owned and operated by a tetraplegic, full-time wheelchair user, meaning every detail has been planned with genuine lived-experience accessibility—not guesswork. Set in a tranquil semi-rural location just ten minutes from Poole Harbour, Hill Lodge offers the perfect base for an accessible Dorset holiday. A standout feature of the property is the spacious ground-floor master bedroom, which has been purposefully designed as a wheelchair-friendly space. It includes a fully equipped en-suite wet room with a wheel-in shower, shower chair, toilet riser, and profiling bed, ensuring maximum comfort and ease for guests with higher support needs. The Flexistep system in the living area adds an exceptional level of accessibility, converting from steps to a platform lift at the touch of a button, allowing wheelchair users to move freely between levels. The modern, open-plan living space provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with a log burner for cosy evenings. The fully accessible kitchen features wheel-under counters, low-height workspaces, and easy-reach appliances, making mealtimes simple and inclusive for all guests. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation with en-suite bathrooms. These rooms feature non-profiling beds and sloped rooflines at the foot of the beds, creating a peaceful space for family or additional guests. Outside, Hill Lodge continues its accessibility-first approach with a level patio area, free-standing seating, and wheelchair-friendly pathways that offer smooth, unobstructed access around the garden. With a private outdoor space and countryside views, it’s the ideal place to unwind or enjoy alfresco dining. The property is perfectly placed for exploring Dorset. Poole Harbour, Sandbanks Beach, Studland Bay, Corfe Castle, Wareham Forest, and the breathtaking Jurassic Coast are all easily reached by car. The surrounding area offers accessible pubs, restaurants, shops, beaches, and nature trails, making Hill Lodge a superb base for both relaxing stays and adventurous days out. Whether you’re looking for an accessible holiday property in Dorset, a disabled-friendly family break, or a peaceful countryside escape with wheelchair-focused design and facilities, Hill Lodge provides comfort, independence, and a truly inclusive experience.
