Hi there, does anyone know of wheelchair accessible accomodation near Salisbury? My mother-in-law stays in Fovant but has moved to a smaller house there. I know I can't use her toilet and I don't know if I can even get into the house, so I am looking for a B&B, hotel, or other to spend one or two nights in so I can visit her.
I found a hotel (The Grasmere) but that looks very expensive and the photo of the grab rails by the toilet don't look suitable for me (I prefer horizontal bars rather than these angled ones).
Sorry if this post is in the wrong place.
I'd be glad for any advice - thanks.

Hi there,
I've stayed at Websters B&B http://www.websters-bed-breakfast.com

They are situated right in Salisbury, the room I stayed in was called woodford, it has a wheel in shower and the breakfasts are truly scrumptious!

Hope that helps.

Thanks Debs, I phoned them up and we had a chat about grab rails and such like but they couldn't remember if they had a grab rail on the wall as well as the swing up one at the right hand side so they will get back to me. I saw a photo of the loo on their website but the grab rail that I hope they will have was not in the shot. It looks like a nice place and quite close to Fovant. I will let you know how I get on. Thanks again.

Hi debs, I had a lovely night at Websters. The room was great, we just moved the bed over a bit to allow me to transfer from my usual side. The toilet was great too and the telly was up high so I could watch it from bed without getting a sore neck. Will def. go there again. thanks.

I'm so glad that it was all good for you, it's great to see this site doing a great job.
Thanks for letting me know how you got on.
