Making life a little easier for everyone at Brook Meadow
We are committed to delivering excellence to all our guests through design and the service we offer. We have given much consideration to accessibility considering a wide range of needs, incorporating accessible features into many elements at Brook Meadow wherever we can. Accessible design is good design in it benefits people who don't have disabilities as well as people who do and at Brook Meadow accessible design helps people get together.
Brook Meadow has long been a place well suited to multi generational groups. The wide variety of accommodation lends itself to support this; whilst young families enjoy the excitement making memories of getting back to basics camping, those who need more comfort can join the party at their own pace and retreat to the luxury comfort of their lodge.
Please see below for more details on our accessibility features to help you plan your stay.

We take pride in our cleanliness to offer our guests a washroom facility with warm showers in a clean and tidy environment. Our refurbishment plans below will replace the women's washrooms with hotel quality family wet rooms ready for spring 2024.

Subtitles have been used on a number of occasions but please do let us know in advance of the show so we can make sure the film choice has them. -There is plenty of space, you can bring your own seating if you have special requirements or use our straw bale seating that has a double stacked bale at the rear to create a backrest. |
