To want to book disabled accomidation and be able to take my whole family

[TheHumancatapult]

Have spent the day trying to sort holiday next year only to be informed that Im sorry we can only sleep maxium of 4 people in disabled accomidation so thats leave the carer and a child at home then .Yes i know if not disabled we have no problem and can have6 .Butlins im looking at you but your not alone seems be a big isssue

And then again short break premier inn or Travelodge inform me i can only have two to a room for disabled room but can have 4 in a family room .Yes but i cant get into a bathroom in a family room

I would ahve thought this day and age companies wake up to fact disabled people have families to

So AIBU

Does that make it clearer

Actually that backs up my argument.

Who are disabled? You or one of the children, or both?

Is the carer an adult?

Do you need the carer to sleep in the same room as you, or could the carer sleep with one of the children?

You could try youth hostels. They often have large accesible rooms for very reasonable prices, and often very close to attractions. We slept in an accessible room for 5, I believe they had them for 6 though.

Why ? Disabled rooms and family rooms are same size . Yet they will let me boom a family room with pull out beds. So still issue of moving round with the added problem of I can't use the bathroom . So if their health and sagger have no problem with that why can I not in disabled room

Quint I am a full time chair user my youngest son uses a chair but not indoors

Pink

Thank you never considered them at all . Will go have a look

Quint on weekend breaks no carer just me and dd and ds3

Longer breaks yes would take a carer as means ds1 and ds2 not doing it all

YANBU to want accessible family accommodation! And it is very U for accessible rooms/caravans to be at the top end of the price range - why should you have to pay more for this type of room? It's not like choosing more luxurious accommodation, willing to pay more - there is no choice!

However, I think that the air bed issue might be insurance related and something to do with fire regulation? (I don't know for sure)

I think we booked it late so it was cheaper, which isn't ideal is you might miss out.

Might sound daft but have you tried eBay? We got cheep accommodation recently, although not wheelchair accessable. Again it might be a last min thing so no good

Maybe worth a try though

Evening all
An early evening guidelines reminder for you.
Thanks

Also if you know anyone who has been on a haven holiday recently they could book it for you, they have massive discounts untill jan

Erm I'm not trolling and don't think I attacked anyone .

Mommin will keep eye out used to do haven when was not in a wheelchair and my older two were younger . But truth haven there is not so much on a site . Have contacted them to ask but it's the price difference I'm loath to pay

I'm happy to compromise on main family holiday by forgoing proper accessible kitchen which since I'm the cook is a pita Shame as means more takeaways or eating out

Erm I'm not trolling and don't think I attacked anyone .

Erm. We weren't talking to you, OP It was a general reminder. Thanks again all

YANBU!

Surely in these days of 'equality' you should be able to get a family room in a Premier Inn which is also accessible? Do they think disabled people don't have children?

Butlins, if they offer family accomodation for 6, should also offer accessible family accomodation for 6. Or they are in breach of disability access and equality laws.

Some attitudes on this thread are fairly vile - the whole 'what do you expect? Disabled and entitled!' type of thing

My friends have just come back from the haven in great yarmouth, they usually book butlins but they really enjoyed it so we've all booked for next year.

They've been up graded and have paid just over £400 for a week in July, I don't know if it's wheelchair accessable but they did say it's wider than an average van, has larger doors, more bathroom space.

What about a caravan on Butlins site, Skegness definitely have them.

I used to be a support worker and we would have a different room in a hotel from the client. Why would carer be expected to sleep in same room? Also fine to have kids in next door room if you have a baby monitor, I take it they don't sleep in your room at home, so what's the difference with a hotel?

Thanks Olivia for the reminder=some uncalled for remarks on here.

OP- YANBU it can be beyond the whit of man in 2012 to allocate two rooms with adjoining doors one of the rooms being accessible surely?

Hoburne holidays say they have accessible caravans so if their sites are in an area you like the look of may be worth seeing if they can offer something suitable

YANBU

www.park-resorts.com/accommodation/caravans/accessible/

Park resorts have accessible caravans which sleep 6

yanbu, disabled accommodation should be available that sleeps the same number as you would get in an ordinary family room/ordinary caravan.

Mrs rant in hotel that means I need to go out my hotel room door into public corridor then into my kids room so by default there is a door from their room to public corridor while I'm not one of these people that worry about paediphiled round every corner .I'm more concerned about them getting scared and opening door and forgetting where I am

I would not be happy either . Oh and in a villa yup kids in Seperate room but that's fine it's just ours in accomdstion . Also your find hotels will not allow under 16 in Seperate rooms either unless connecting rooms and guess what premier in and travel lodge accessible room don't have connecting doors

6 in a room is a lot to expect really, in any accomodation.

Can the eldest two not share a separate room?

aaaargh so stupid!!

How frustrating for you
