Disabled Access

Many of our properties have no stairs and adequate space to manoeuvre.

Whilst we make every effort to meet the needs of all ages and abilities, some cottages are more suitable than others.

When making your enquiry we would be very happy to discuss your requirements and advise accordingly. Our business is based on informed personal service, so please just ask.

Website Accessibility

Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web.

More specifically, Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web. Web accessibility also benefits others, including older people with changing abilities due to aging.

The Northumberland Estates website is designed to incorporate these standards.
