Kilmore Cottages – Accessible Accommodation Wexford

We are often asked by our customers for recommendations for self-catering accessible accommodation in Ireland. Unfortunately there aren’t too many options available although thankfully this is starting to change in recent times. Once notable example of this is Kilmore Cottages located in the beautiful area of Kilmore, Co. Wexford. The location has two fully accessible cottages and has been operating successfully for the last 7 years. Located on a organic farm, Kilmore Cottages is run by husband and wife team John and Helen Cousins.

The Cottages – There are two cottages available:

Kilmore Cottage – 3 bed, sleeps 6
Teach Eile – 2 bed sleeps 5

Accessibility

Kilmore Cottage is proud to have been awarded the ABLE Tourism Award which is the Q mark for accessibility in a tourism business, and reflects our commitment to the provision of holidays for those with disability. 

Level concrete set down area at front door – There are no ramps or steps in any of the cottages as the outside grounds for all cottages have been raised to enable level access.

Ground floor bedrooms – Kilmore Cottage has a ground floor bedroom with an adjoining accessible bathroom. Both Teach Eile and Teach a Trí are single storey cottages and both bedrooms in each cottage are therefore all on ground floor level.

Accessible bathrooms – Each cottage has one large ground floor accessible bathroom. Each accessible bathroom has a wheel-in, wet room style shower with grab rails, and we provide shower chairs for upon request. Grab rails are situated adjacent to toilets and hand basins, and we provide toilet seat raisers upon request. The bathrooms are spacious and there is ample turning space for a wheelchair. All taps are lever taps.

Turning space – All the main rooms in our cottages are spacious, so there is ample turning space in the kitchen, living, bedrooms and accessibility bathrooms. The floors are all hard surfaces and finished with tiles, wood or laminate.

Equipment rental

If you are staying at the Kilmore Cottages and require medical equipment such as an electric profiling bed or patient hoist please contact us. We have been supplying medical equipment for visitors to the Kilmore Cottages for the past few years and we can have the equipment delivered and installed prior to your arrival. The two most common products we supply are the electric profiling (hospital) beds and our full body (looped sling) hoists.

The beds are fully electric and come with a medical grade foam mattress (air mattresses also available), side-rails and an over-bed table. The hoists are also fully electric and we can supply slings too if required although most people prefer to use their own slings. Our hoists are suitable for use with looped slings.
