Holiday cottages with lower kitchen work s
urfaces
When you are away on holiday, you want to be able to relax and chill out in a stress free environment. You want to be able to access all of the cottage which you are staying in without having to ask for help all the time, and you shouldn’t have to lose your independence simply because you are away on holiday. One adaptation in the cottage that would really help with this if you are in a wheelchair would be to have lower kitchen work surfaces.
Lower kitchen work surfaces mean that you will be able to completely access the whole kitchen without having to worry about whether you will be able to reach from your wheelchair. In my opinion, this is really great as it means that you don’t have to constantly ask people to get you things or to help with your meals while you are away. You wouldn’t have to do this at home so why should you when you are on holiday. It also means that you don’t have to wait until it is convenient for the other people that you are staying with for you to get food or a drink and that you are able to get it for yourself whenever you want it - not when it fits in with other people.
To find suitable cottages with work tops of the right height, contact owners that specialise in self-catering accommodation for the disabled and ask for the heights of the work surfaces.

While not strictly related to disability, lower work surfaces in the kitchen are great if you are taking children away with you too. This means that they can help out and enjoy preparing food with you, not feeling left out, which can be great fun for them. This brings everyone into the preparation of food, keeping everyone safe and happy.
There is absolutely no reason for you to make anything hard for yourself while you are away on holiday and having lower kitchen work surfaces are great for ensuring safety and allowing you to keep your independence.

It’s nice to have the option there that you could do things for yourself while you are away, and even if you don’t use them, at least you could have if you wanted to. If knowing that you have lower work surfaces in your holiday cottages will help your peace of mind before you go away, they’re definitely worth having!
