Accessibility spotlight! 💜

Hoe Grange Holidays has been awarded Gold in the Accessible and Inclusive Tourism category at the 2026 VisitEngland Awards for Excellence.

Based in the Peak District, Hoe Grange Holidays offers accessible self-catering accommodation designed to make holidays more comfortable and enjoyable for disabled guests.

Their cottages include a range of accessibility features, including level-access entrances, wet rooms, profiling beds and ceiling track hoists, along with accessible equipment available for guests to enjoy during their stay.

From weighted blankets to dementia-friendly activity boxes, there’s real care and attention to a wide range of needs.

We’ve worked with Hoe Grange Holidays to create Detailed Access Guides for their accommodation, giving visitors detailed information about the facilities and accessibility features before they visit.

“Surveying at Birmingham Women’s Hospital felt personal to me because I have friends and family who have used the hospital services. It was rewarding knowing our work can make a difference to people I know, as well as patients and visitors.”
-Charanjeev Bharat, AccessAble Surveyor.

That personal connection is a great reminder of why we do what we do. Hospitals are places that many of us will need to visit at some point, and having clear, detailed accessibility information can make a big difference. Whether you’re finding your way to an appointment or checking the facilities available before you arrive.

We regularly revisit venues to keep our information up to date. Our surveyors have now completed a full update of all our Detailed Access Guides for Birmingham Women's Hospital and Charity, capturing the practical information patients and visitors need to know before they arrive.

“For me, that is the most important thing, because it puts me in control as a disabled person.”

In the latest episode of our Ask Away series, we catch up with Life Of A Blind Girl and host Carrie-Ann Lightley to discuss all things accessibility, including how things designed to improve accessibility for some can sometimes present barriers for others.

In this series, we’re answering your questions on anything related to accessibility and inclusion. Each episode, we have an in-depth chat with one of our ambassadors, all of whom have unique lived experience.

You can listen to the full conversation with Holly on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.pulse.ly/9wpehu8wl8

If you have a question you’d like answered, or a topic you’d like to know more about, let us know and we’ll cover it in a future episode.

For people who use assistance dogs, knowing what to expect before visiting somewhere new can make planning a day out much easier.

That’s why we include information about facilities for assistance dogs in our Detailed Access Guides.

You can use the Facilities for Assistance Dogs symbol to filter your search to find places with relevant facilities.

Depending on the venue, this could include information about:
• Any areas where assistance dogs may not be permitted
• Water bowls or other facilities available
• Toilet areas, including information about nearby facilities.

The information available will vary from place to place, but the aim is simple: to give you more of the practical information you need to plan ahead.

Find Detailed Access Guides and search for facilities for assistance dogs on AccessAble.

Accessibility spotlight! 💜

Eureka Science + Discovery won Gold in the Accessible and Inclusive Tourism category at the 2025 VisitEngland Awards for Excellence.

This interactive attraction is leading the way for family accessibility and doing some brilliant work to make visits more welcoming for disabled people.

You can hire sensory bags and ear defenders for your visit, take some time out in their dedicated chill-out spaces, visit on one of their Relaxed SENDays, and find support from disability awareness trained staff.

We’ve worked with Eureka! Science + Discovery, and Eureka! The National Children's Museum to produced Detailed Access Guides for their venues, covering everything you might need to know about their facilities before you visit.

It’s really important to champion places that are putting real thought into how they welcome visitors, and Eureka! Science + Discovery is a great example of that.

Planning a long journey this summer? Don't forget to factor in your rest stops.

We’ve been working with the National Highways to create Detailed Access Guides for their services stations across the UK. As part of their T.R.I.P campaign, the focus is on preparing for long journeys and taking regular breaks along the way.

Our Detailed Access Guides for motorway services can help you plan ahead by checking accessibility information before you travel.

Find out what's available, understand whether a service station meets your access needs and choose suitable places to stop along your route.

You can also explore key routes and facilities with Virtual Access Guides, using 360-degree interactive walkthroughs to help you understand more about what to expect before you arrive.

Our Guides also include information on facilities such as EV charging points, helping you better plan your journey.

Planning a last-minute staycation or looking for somewhere new to explore?

Make the most of what’s left of summer with a day out in the great outdoors.

For many countryside locations, it can be difficult to know what to expect before you arrive. Will there be somewhere suitable to stop for a break? Are the paths manageable for your needs? Are the facilities you need available nearby?

AccessAble can help you find the information you need before you set off, so you can spend less time planning and more time enjoying the experience.

From RSPB reserves and nature sites to gardens, parks and country spaces, there are lots of outdoor places with accessible routes, facilities and areas to take a break.

Exploring the outdoors doesn’t have to mean a multi-day hike. Across the UK, we’ve got opportunities to connect with nature, enjoy the fresh air and discover somewhere new at your own pace.

Starting uni? Don’t wait until you arrive on campus to figure it all out.

Between sorting accommodation, packing your stuff, and getting ready for a big change, you probably don’t need another thing to worry about.

You might want to see what your campus actually looks like, get a better idea of what to expect inside buildings or find out the details you won’t necessarily find on a university website.

Get to know your campus before you arrive and start your first day at uni with one less thing to worry about.

When we visit a new place, most of us like to be prepared and know what to expect.

95% of disabled people research accessibility information before visiting somewhere new, but 86% are unable to find what they need.

Sometimes the details simply aren’t there, and when they are, they can often be hidden across different pages of a website, making them difficult to find.

That lack of clear accessible detail can make visiting somewhere new stressful, leaving many people feeling like they need to take a gamble.

Our Detailed Access Guides aim to reduce this uncertainty by bringing key accessibility details together in one place, so you can find what they need before you visit.
