Sungate supports local businesses πŸ’™

At Sungate we like to work together with local tradespeople and businesses on our autism friendly mission!

Here’s James from The Fire Basket Ltd, installing new LED lights in our popular colour changing fireplace (video below) πŸ”₯πŸ’–

James has an autistic child and understands why our sensory adaptations need to be in tip top condition at all times, to meet the needs of families who stay with us and help them enjoy their holiday.

For more information on our centrepiece fireplace, and others like this, take a look at the Fire Basket website:

https://www.thefirebasket.com

As well as The Fire Basket, we work closely with Jerry Burgess Electrical, Massage & Beauty With Ellie, The Great Cake Company and The Somerset Toiletry Company (look out for their new range of aromatherapy Shower Steamers, coming soon to Sungate, how exciting!.β€¦πŸšΏ)

A walk in Bath, taken today πŸ’™

We began by parking behind Victoria Park, (first hour is free, then just Β£1.60 for an extra 2 hours after that). We then took a 5 minute walk across to the famous Royal Crescent, passing Bath Pavillion on our right, with its bandstand (and squirrel!) followed by a brief stroll through the beautiful city centre (which was nice and quiet), saying hi to the guide at The Jane Austen Centre, and window shopping at Mr B's Emporium of Reading Delights πŸ“š

We also spotted Bath’s open top Toot bus, a firm favourite with our family for getting out and about 🚍

All of this, plus plenty of autism friendly places to visit in Bath can be found in our Sungate guide app, downloadable to your phone, when you book a stay with us.

It was overcast in Bath today, but still so beautiful! 🍁❀️

Check in day and a special request from our guest family πŸ’™

The family staying have travelled from abroad, and asked if they could drop off their luggage early. We were happy to oblige and so they did just that before heading on into Bath.

Wherever we can, we always try to be flexible and meet guests’ needs and requirements 😊

What does mean to you?

Sungate has a range of unique adaptations and sensory equipment, but we offer much more than this.

For us, being is:

- talking and listening to individual families about their needs

- understanding that not all autistic people are the same, and their needs are not all the same

- understanding that autistic children and adults may have conditions in addition to autism

- understanding that holidays, even short ones, may need careful planning and consideration

- answering any questions and queries - no matter how unusual or unique!

- reassuring families who are nervous about going on holiday

- being kind, no judgement πŸ’™

** Message from 9 year old guest Charlotte reads: β€˜Hi my name is Charlotte and I am autistic I like making bracelets I made one for you thank you so much for letting us stay πŸ™‚ from Charlotte + Mark Alison + Matt and last but not least Bella🐾**

The Sungate single bedroom πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€

We know how important a good night’s sleep - any sleep! - is to our families.

With this in mind, we thought we would tell new followers to our page about the bedrooms at Sungate, starting with a post about the single bedroom.

Sungate has 3 bedrooms - a King bedroom, a twin room (2 singles), and one single bedroom.

Unlike the twin room, which has LED lights and a galaxy ceiling projector, the single bedroom is neutral and toned down, and is designed to be a calming space. It is set away from the other bedrooms to ensure guests can regulate and relax and enjoy a good night’s sleep 🀞

Because it is set slightly apart, the single bedroom is perfect for noisier guests, and for those that are prone to waking to the sound of a pin drop! πŸ˜…

Many of the features of the Sungate single room are discreet, such as the underfloor heating, reinforced bed and waterproof mattress. This means that the room is both pretty and functional, whilst having a lovely holiday feel πŸ’™

Autism friendly features in the single room include:

πŸ’™ neutral colours
πŸ’™ no trinkets or breakables
πŸ’™ tamper proof light switch cover
πŸ’™ warm white lighting
πŸ’™ underfloor heating
πŸ’™ reinforced bed
πŸ’™ option for a bed guard
πŸ’™ option for a Safe Place bed
πŸ’™ waterproof mattress
πŸ’™ blackout blind with safety cord
πŸ’™ lockable window with opening restrictor
πŸ’™ lockable en suite utility room with washing machine, drying rack, and iron
πŸ’™ lockable en suite shower room with Whirl Air powder rain shower, Quiet Mark fan and wetroom floor

And that’s all in just one of the rooms at Sungate! πŸ˜„

Here’s our son Henry, sitting on the lounge bench seat looking out of the bay window - his favourite spot at Sungate.

This may seem like a small thing to some, but for us this is a big moment - a wonderful shared memory. Henry is autistic, non speaking and has complex needs. Being able to relax together, as a family like this, in holiday accommodation that meets his needs, is inclusion at its best.

This week is national .
Inclusion matters every day at Sungate, and we have a variety of adaptations and sensory equipment, as well as suggestions of autism friendly places to visit in Bath, to ensure you feel truly welcome.

Here’s what families who have already stayed at Sungate think:

Hope to welcome you to Sungate soon…x
