The Able Stables - Sam's Cottage

East Rudham, Norfolk

Sam's Cottage is a charming larch forge located in East Rudham, Norfolk, offering a unique holiday experience for both disabled and non-disabled guests. The property is curated on one level and has been designed to cater to the assisted living requirements of independent wheelchair users. It features a full wet room, kitchen, dining area, and comfortable super-king size bed that can be converted into two singles upon request.

Situated within its own private walled courtyard, Sam's Cottage is an ideal retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a secluded holiday in the Norfolk countryside. The property is perfect for birdwatchers, walkers, cyclists, and beach lovers, providing a relaxing 'hideaway' throughout the seasons. The unique outside/inside sitting room with a wood-burning stove and overhead heating adds to the charm and individuality of this destination.

Run as a social enterprise, Sam's Cottage, along with the owner's other property, Garden Cottage, offers subsidised breaks to clients who may not be able to afford a getaway otherwise. The funds raised from paying guests contribute to these subsidised breaks, with an emphasis on disability-friendly accommodations. The property is fully accessible, with no steps, pocket doors, and built to incorporate accessibility standards at level M2.

For guests with specific accessibility requests, The Able Stables can provide additional equipment such as a profiling bed, shower seat, wheelchair, and adapted cutlery upon request. Two dogs are welcome at Sam's Cottage for a small additional charge, and babes in arms are also welcome. It is important to note that the property has a private water supply and does not provide a starter pack or welcome hamper, so guests are advised to bring their own supplies.
