Wonderfully outfitted cottages for guests with disabilities. Our group included three, among whom one uses a wheelchair and needs hoists. After a long search for suitable accommodations, we finally discovered this gem. The accessible bedroom features ceiling tracking leading into the wetroom, and our cottage was equipped with an exceptional H system. A profile bed, along with a rented air mattress, was provided with the property. The living room and kitchen boast ample space and are set around a serene fishing lake. There's an on-site bistro offering food and drinks, and our cottage included a private hot tub with available tracking, though we didn't use it. The staff were outstanding, with Grace providing immediate solutions to any issues. Having such a well-equipped accessible cottage made everything effortless and stress-free for me. The location is perfect for exploring the Fylde Coast, which offers flat promenades. I've already secured our stay for next year because this place is truly ideal. Our disabled companion felt comfortable utilizing the facilities and didn't feel self-conscious when dining in the bistro. A heartfelt thanks to Brickhouse Farm, you're truly a treasure! x

This was our first time at Brickhouse Farm it was recommended by a friend who had been there before.
We were a little skeptical about the reviews until we got there.
The staff were amazing as were the surroundings the Bistro was absolutely incredible they catered for all of us including my daughter who is Gluten Free.
We loved it so much we have already booked for next year.
Grace and the rest of the staff looked after all our needs perfectly.
Many thanks from the Gill-Calvert family xx

What a fantastic time we had!

We have had the most fabulous holiday at Brickhouse Farm Cottages and cannot recall ever finding such a place more suitable for disabled people, their carers, family and friends.
From arrival we were made to feel welcome. My husband (carer) was shown our cottage first, prior to getting me out of our car and safely installed!
A profile bed was already in place and a fully equipped wetroom. Any extra equipment we asked for was either provided straight away, or alternatives offered if not available.
Being hoisted into our own hot tub was possibly the biggest wow!
The establishment, the staff, the facilities, the Bistro and bar all met our needs. Everywhere was accessible in my power chair, level surfaces and ramps all over.
We'll be back, thanks all!

Outstanding accessible holiday cottages

This was our second visit to Brickhouse farm. The cottages, venue and facilities are fantastic and we had a great week away. We will definitely be back. We particularly enjoyed the new hydro pool and restaurant. All the staff are lovely and we can't thank you enough for a really lovely holiday!

Great facilities and welcoming staff

The cottage had great facilities for my disabled son and was spacious with all equipment we needed. The cottage was a little grubby on our arrival with cob webs and some smelly toilet brushes. There was also an intermittent foul smell wafting around the complex. This may have been from the fields surrounding though. These were the only negatives of our stay.

The complex is quiet and friendly, with a wonderful view outside the cottage over the lake. The on site bistro serves excellent food and the staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. We felt very welcome.

The hydrotherapy pool is excellent. Clean and fully equipped. It was the highlight of our stay seeing my son so happy in the water. A very special memory for us. Thank you.

A perfect experience

Our fourth week here - but this time the weather was perfect.
Very restful, everyone is really friendly and very helpful.
The Hydrotherapy pool is a highlight and the food and service in the bistro is superb.
The cottages are well equipped, thoughtully designed and the whole experience is perfect for a break away from home.

Well where Do i start? simply amazing will do!

Well where Do i start? Having 6children all with additional/ complex needs, booking a holiday that can cater for our family need/set up can proof to me complex in itself. However brickhouse farm cottages have just got it right. Catering for disability takes the pressure for parents and carers knowing there is everyone you need there (home from home) the cottages are beautiful, clean and spacious. What tips orbits I’d over looking the beautiful lake (relaxing)

having found this gem of a place you will be seeing a lot more of us!

It would be nice to have more entertainment other that the quiz and bingo night. Maybe a little disco for the siblings that attend and a better equipped park. However I’m pretty sure you are always looking to expand? And value guests feedback to look at possibilities. For me it’s just as important to cater for the needs of the siblings of a disabled child/adults as it’s a chance for them to let their hair down and relax too.

Thank you so much for everything. Keep up the amazing work you guys do.

Superbly equipped cottages for disabled guests . We were a party of 3 one of whom is wheelchair bound and requires hoists . I had searched in vain for suitable properties then found this treasure.Ceiling tracking in accessible bedroom through to wetroom.Our cottage has H system which was brilliant.Profile bed was needed which came with property and hired an air mattress.
Spacious living room and kitchen.set around a tranquil fishing lake.on site bistro for food and drinks. A bonus was a private hot tub with tracking.although we didn't use the tracking over the hot tub it was available.
The staff were superb especially Grace who sorted out issues there and then.
I can not explain how easy my life was made having an equipped accessible cottage .it was so stress free.The location is great for exploring the Fylde Coast with its flat promenades. I have booked already for next year as this place is just spot on. Our disabled travellers felt at ease using facilities and didn't feel like she was being stared at whilst being fed in bistro.
Thank you Brickhouse Farm you are truly a gem x

As usual got to give Brickhouse Farm Cottages 5 stars. Staff and everything else was just perfect. Bistro was wonderful including the service. Adaptations suit my needs perfectly, ceiling track hoist is great, just wish we could find more properties like these. Thank you for everything we will return. 🥰
