Accommodation providers take note; given that over 25% of the British population have a disability, East Anglia disabled accommodation is big business. Changes can be minimal; for example having accessible ground floor rooms, or comprehensive; some East Anglia disabled hotels install hoists, widened doorways or in one notable case, wheelchair accessible hot tubs. Most at least make an effort to include elevators and ground floor dining rooms. East Anglia self catering disabled accommodation tends to be more carefully adapted for wheelchair bound guests and people with limited mobility. There are even special sensory gardens planted for the visually impaired, with touchable plants and fragrant blooms.
Given the advent of the Access Statement, and the prevalence of organisations offering specialist disabled holidays, it's surprising there aren't more disabled accessible hotels in Cambridgeshire. Cambridge itself though spends a lot of time and effort making sure it's ancient byways are accessible to the less mobile. The Cambridge Arts Theatre - and several other arts venues - have wheelchair spaces, lifts, ramps and often offer both signed performances and hearing enhancement services. There are also some wonderful Cambridge wheelchair accessible hotels, such as 2 Holiday Inn establishments and the Crowne Plaza - all recipients of awards from the National Accessible Scheme.
The sea is one of our national treasures - 'private' beaches have always disgusted me, it's like sectioning off a portion of air and shooting any birds that dare to cross it. So I think it should be accessible to all. Luckily Norfolk Coast disabled accommodation is more than adequate. People who prefer self catering can book a Cromer disabled holiday cottage, which could even be purpose built to Grade 1 mobility levels. The Great Yarmouth hotels disabled accommodation might not cover the whole hotel - many establishments have a few accessible rooms, plus a ramp and some helpful staff.
