The opportunities that able-bodied and able-minded people take for granted should be opportunities for all. Mountain Lodge and Coastal Cottage set standards and affordability for accessible holiday accommodation. Since opening, Lower Laurel Farm has been setting the benchmark on how accessibility can be achieved, combining affordability with taste and luxury.
Family time is so important. We opened our doors on the 23rd of December 2022 and little did we know how humble we would feel when our amazing guests came through our doors and the enjoyment we would get from meeting so many amazing people despite the challenges that they face.
We are based in North Somerset near Bristol, with many accessible activities right on our doorstep. Whether you like kayaking or surfing (yes, these are accessible) to shopping or visiting museums and stately homes, we have it all nearby. Not to mention the beach and that all-important fresh sea air.

Advertise With Crip Life™
The Crip Life™ advertising strategy is “Pay What You Can (PWYC).” We know this is very different to most if not all, online magazines. PWYC is a business model that doesn’t insist upon set prices for its goods or services. Instead, it asks clients to pay what they feel the product or service is worth and what you can afford to pay.
We want to place adverts for a wide range of clients. So, whatever the size of the organisation, if you want to promote a product or service, contact Joanna Baker-Rogers.
