Thank you for the welcome Lyn and I can only apologise that I did not find that link. I have been searching for a couple of days without success and it takes you 10 minutes! :D

Thanks for the info, I will contact them and let you know how I get on. I am admin on a large forum of my own and I know how annoying it can be for a first time poster to post asking a question without as much a by or leave so once again thank you for helping me but especially thanks from Mum.

I wish someone had told me 50 years ago it would have come to this ........................I would have emigrated ;-) only joking :D

Regards

Ken

hi Ken

glad to try and be of help . My elderly mum is also now confirned to a chair after spending a few weeks in hospital confined to a bed for no reason so I now where your coming from . My brother lives with her and is her full time carer and things unfortunately are hard going . The difference is my mum has no interest in taking a holiday so its nice to put my holiday frustrations to good use.

If you havnt already found them these websites might be of interest as well Ken . http://www.livability.org.uk/landing.asp?id=9

Not a problem Ken, feel free to post in both in order to attract maximum feedback, as some members may browse one forum but not the other.

hi Ken, Have a look at http://www.ortonrigg.co.uk it`s a hotel at Canford Cliffs, Dorset. It used to be owned and run by Arthritis Care and is fully equipped for disabled visitors. They will help with equipment hire. Although the British Red cross have a few branches in Dorset and Hampshire, including one in Poole, and they will deliver mobility equipment to the hotel. There are some good reviews for it on http://www.accessatlast.co.uk

Thanks everyone, I am not ignoring your help for which I am extremely grateful. I am just reading all the websites you have given me links to. I need to sort it out and to show to mum as a package.

Regards :thanks

Hi Ken
Welcome to HT
A few years ago my MIL and FIL used a B&B in Weymouth called Oaklands. MIL didn't need a hoist at that time , just wheelchair and space to turn ! but found it very geared up to their needs - access, doors, wetroom etc
Good luck in your search and hoping you find somewhere for a good break
