Welcome to Bench Cottage, a beautifully designed wheelchair friendly bungalow located just outside Lymington, only two miles from the New Forest National Park. This modern and inclusive single-storey property offers a comfortable and fully equipped retreat for up to four guests, thoughtfully tailored to meet a wide range of mobility needs. The cottage is entirely on the ground floor with level access throughout, making movement effortless for wheelchair users and guests with limited mobility. Convenient off-road parking sits right outside the entrance, featuring an EV charger and a smooth tarmac path leading directly to the door. Inside, you’ll find a warm, welcoming living space with central heating, complimentary WiFi, and accessible design that makes it an ideal base for exploring Hampshire, Dorset, and the surrounding New Forest countryside. Bench Cottage is equipped with exceptional accessibility features, including two ceiling hoists—one in the spacious master bedroom and another in the wet room. The master bedroom offers two profiling beds (one height-adjustable) and generous turning space for wheelchair users. The wet room is designed for maximum comfort, with an adjustable-height washbasin, standard-height WC with drop-down grab rails, a toilet seat riser option, and a drop-down changing stretcher, ensuring ease and independence for every guest. The second bedroom, though not fully wheelchair friendly, provides two electric riser single beds, making it ideal for carers, family members, or children. In the open-plan living area, guests can enjoy ample seating including a riser recliner chair, firm armchair, and a cosy two-seater sofa. A foldaway dining table for four offers flexibility, while entertainment options include a TV with Chromecast and Netflix in the lounge and an additional TV in the master bedroom. The accessible kitchen has been designed for convenience and independence, featuring a wall-mounted oven, lowered counters, a wheel-under hob and sink, and appliances such as a washing machine, microwave, and coffee machine. A range of mobility aids—including a Sara Stedy, standing hoist, and various shower chairs—are available for guest use. Fresh linen and towels are provided, and hosts offer pre-arrival shopping delivery for a smooth, stress-free start to your stay. Perfectly situated close to the coast and countryside, Bench Cottage offers the best of both worlds: accessible, modern comfort with easy access to the New Forest’s scenic trails, Lymington’s charming harbour, and Dorset’s beautiful beaches. This property is a true example of inclusive design, ensuring every guest can relax, explore, and feel at home.
