Double-Gate Farm is a lovely Georgian farmhouse on a working farm in Somerset. The Riverside Suites are large, luxury ground floor suites unique, adaptable and yet retaining comfort at the Gold Award standard associated with Double-Gate Farm. Designed for able and disabled, families and groups.

Three suites have a double and single bed and one has a double and two single beds. All beds have pocket sprung mattresses for comfort and are on gliders to enable access from any side. Ceiling fans, mood lighting and touch lighting, colour TV/DVD, and silent running fridge. Ample turning space for wheelchairs. Each suite has a river side patio area with table and chairs, access by large glass, patio doors. Watch the fish in the river or birds in the meadow.

Every suite has a wet room. In other words a very large en-suite bathroom! Comprising power shower, two wash basins at different levels, choice of shower seating if required, perching stool and WC. Just to make life a bit more interesting there are sensory mirrors which light up and demist by the movement of a hand and very funky striped grab rails. Who say’s accessibility can’t be fun . . . . . .

If you would prefer self catering accommodation, Double-Gate Farm also provide the Swallow Barn which sleeps up to 8 people. Breakfast can be ordered on a day to day basis at £10 per person. Attractive beamed lounge, with inglenook fireplace and log burner, has a colour TV and DVD.

There is a dining room, handsomely furnished in a Jacobean oak style, and for self-catering guests, an attractive and extremely functional kitchen.

The Riverside Suites and Swallow Barn have been assessed under the National Accessible Scheme and have an Access Statement. More information about these properties can be found on OpenBritain, on page 119 of the OpenBritain 2010 Guide and on the Double-Gate Farm website.
