We have recently launched a new service on our website. Disabled holidays.

Users can search through the site which is split into easy to understand categories and find a holiday based on geographical location. Its early days at the moment and we are constantly adding properties to the site. We would welcome any recommendations too, so please feel free to browse around and comment.

In addition we would welcome any feedback. We have attempted to include as much information as possible including feedback and inquiry forms.

Have a look at the site here

Thank you.

Florida is in the USA.

Nothing for London?

Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, etc?

Africa?
South America?
Australia/NZ?

Like I said, its definitely work in progress, so despite these areas you identify we would welcome any suggestions for inclusion in those regions.

Re Florida. That has now been corrected. Over exuberant staff, not realising Florida is part of the US.

Seriously, we would welcome any suggestions for inclusion.

Thank you

I found the disabled holiday sites where twice the price when you could call your regular agent and they can arrange ground floor, accessible accommodation and even recommend areas that are easy to get about for the same price as a regular person who isn't disabled

Hooray! I am so glad that someone has finally built something like this.

We are from Canada and hubby works for an airline so we travel a LOT. Please let me know if we can give you any tips...I have about a dozen hotel reviews from the last year or so if you want them.

Cheers,
K

I am sorry that you think that about DHC Chiang Mai , because is a really classy place (4*) and 2 weeks would have cost 2 people 525 USD ,twin share at our place .
Right now is the low (wet ) season & our promotional prices start at 35 USD per room.
We provide accommodation for everybody regardless of their physical limitations.
The http://www.dhcchiangmai.com address is valid and working , we have tried it from few countries around the world , this is our new website.

Good luck with your holiday!

P.S. We have stayed at 5* hotels where my husband had to use the delivery ramp , as they had steps at the entrance.
