Finding suitable wheelchair friendly accommodation can make all the difference when planning a holiday, family break or residential trip. At Share Discovery Village in County Fermanagh, we understand that accessibility is about much more than simply having a step-free entrance.
Our aim is to provide comfortable, accessible accommodation alongside facilities, equipment and activities that help our guests enjoy their time at Share to the fullest.
Located on the shores of Upper Lough Erne, Share offers guests the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing break surrounded by nature, while also having access to a wide range of accessible facilities and outdoor activities.
Accessible Accommodation Designed Around Your Needs
We understand that everyone’s accessibility requirements are different. That’s why we have a range of facilities and equipment available to help make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Our accessible accommodation includes accessible bathrooms and facilities designed to make moving around and using the accommodation easier for guests with mobility needs.
We also have profiling beds and hoists available, helping guests who require additional support during their stay.
If you have specific accessibility requirements, we encourage you to speak to our team before booking. We can discuss your needs and help you understand which accommodation and facilities are most suitable for you.
Changing Places Facility
One of the important additions to our accessibility facilities at Share is our Changing Places facility.
For people who require additional space and specialist equipment for changing, having access to an appropriate Changing Places facility can make a huge difference to whether a day out or holiday is practical and enjoyable.
Our Changing Places facility provides additional support for guests who may not be able to use a standard accessible toilet or changing area.
Having this facility onsite means guests and their families can enjoy greater confidence during their visit to Share.
An Accessible Swimming Pool
Our accessible swimming pool is another important facility for guests staying at Share.
The pool has a gentle incline into the water, providing an easier alternative to traditional pool steps for guests who may find standard pool access difficult.
Whether you’re looking to enjoy some relaxed time in the water, build confidence swimming, or simply spend time together as a family or group, our swimming pool provides another opportunity to enjoy your stay.
For many families and groups, having accessible swimming facilities onsite means they can enjoy more of their holiday together without having to travel elsewhere.
Accessibility Doesn’t Stop at the Accommodation
At Share, we believe that accessibility isn’t just about having somewhere suitable to sleep.
It’s about being able to take part.
That’s why we are continually working to improve accessibility across our site and activities.
Depending on individual needs and abilities, guests can enjoy a range of activities and experiences, including canoeing, kayaking, climbing, swimming and other outdoor activities.
Our team can discuss the activities available and help groups and families plan experiences that are suitable for their participants.
Whether you’re looking for an accessible family holiday, a residential trip for a disability group or an outdoor adventure with friends, we want to help you make the most of your time at Share.
Accessible Activities and Outdoor Adventure
Being wheelchair accessible shouldn’t mean having to sit on the sidelines while everyone else has fun.
Our outdoor activity programme gives guests the opportunity to try something new, spend time outdoors and experience the beautiful surroundings of Upper Lough Erne.
Our team has experience working with groups with a wide range of abilities and can discuss adaptations and support that may help participants get involved.
We know that trying a new activity can sometimes feel daunting, so our instructors work with groups to help make the experience as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
From getting out on the water to trying an outdoor activity or enjoying the swimming pool, we want our guests to have the opportunity to take part, have fun and create memories.
A Place for Families, Groups and Residentials
Share Discovery Village welcomes families, disability organisations, schools, charities and residential groups.
For families, having accessible accommodation and facilities onsite can make planning a holiday much easier.
For organisations and groups, Share provides the opportunity to combine accessible accommodation, activities and outdoor experiences in one location.
We can work with groups in advance to discuss accessibility requirements and help plan an itinerary around their needs.
We Are Always Looking to Improve
We know that accessibility is an ongoing journey.
While we are proud of the facilities and equipment we currently have available, we are continually looking at ways we can improve the experience for our guests.
We are currently exploring further accessibility improvements, including plans to improve access to our waterfront and provide more opportunities for people with disabilities to enjoy water-based activities.
Our ambition is simple:
To make it possible for more people to experience adventure, independence and time together at Share.
