ℹ️FAQ’s

Some of our frequently asked questions… have a look below ⬇️ are these things that can help you plan a holiday whilst taking the worry of accessible access off your mind?

As a holiday cottage provider we often get a lot of questions about our facilities and other services in the area.

We are going to be answering some of these on a regular basis for you on our Social media pages, so if you have any questions at all that are not answered today, then please pop a comment below or send us a private message or email and we will do our best to answer it!

Many of our guests have access needs that very few holiday providers can cater for, it’s completely understandable that this can cause anxiety when booking somewhere to accommodate your needs- especially if you’ve never visited us before, or been let down in the past.

Now, we are not perfect, it’s impossible to be able to meet access needs for each and every individual BUT we have tried our best to think every cottage through to the best of its ability.. and every piece of access equipment we have is also our heard with a lot of thought after listening to our guests needs. We are always striving to improve though so every suggestion is welcome 😁

🎄2 sleeps!🎄

We have two very excited little boys at home right now, if you’ve met Hamish and Angus when you’ve stayed with us then you’ll know they are full of energy and a tad on the loud side 🤣Santa knows to hopefully stop at Summerfield Farm this year!!

We would like to wish all our guests this year a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2025, it’s been another very busy year with more changes, equipment additions and a few challenges along the way! We couldn’t keep our facilities at almost 95% accessibility bookings without all of you spreading the word about what we offer and we are so thankful for our regular returning guests, our new guests we’ve met this year and of course those of you who have return from several years ago.

Summerfield Farm Accessible Holidays is an ever growing and developing home from home and we look forward to learning and improving on next year again. As always, we appreciate all the feedback and suggestions we get from the most important part of what we do- You, our guests!!

We are taking a short break away from admin over the Christmas period to spend some quality time with our boys, and celebrate our Christmas Eve anniversary!! So you won’t be able to speak to us on the phone or email for a afew days, but you can still book online via the website and if you have any questions about our accessible facilities please look at the each individual cottage on the website and visit our FAQs section. If there’s anything you cannot find, then do use the ‘contact us’ section we will respond to any inquiries on our return. https://www.summerfieldfarm.co.uk/

Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁❄️

A lovely write up from some our guests we had over Easter Weekend. We are so glad you enjoyed yourselves and it was great to have you here after the drop in over 2 years ago, how time flies!

We’ve just had a really lovely break Summerfield Farm Holidays at Hawsker just outside Whitby. Highly recommend the accommodation. There’s a wet room, ceiling track hoist and profiling bed. The cottage we were in (Cholmley) is the smallest but we had plenty of room to get Lucy’s chair around and it was really cosy. There are two other cottages and a static caravan that can meet different needs. Kara and Ben the owners were absolutely lovely and looked after us well. I didn’t take any pictures of the accommodation so you’ll have to check out their website for that. I’ll put a link in the comments on Facebook and in bio on Instagram.
This is Lucy very much enjoying the park and ride bus into Whitby! There are plenty blue badge spaces at the park and ride. We also enjoyed a lovely trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. We did unfortunately have one access fail which was that we weren’t able to get into the Changing Places toilet in the marina in Whitby. The code on the keypad didn’t work. Thankfully a very helpful lady called Wendy tried her best to get us in and when that was not successful let us use one of the rooms in the tourist information building. The number on the door went to the North Yorkshire Council switchboard with no option for help getting into CPTs on a bank holiday weekend. We enjoyed some smashing fish and chips Trenchers whose staff were brilliant at keeping out table while the ‘nipping to the Changing Place’ fiasco unfolded and when Lucy and I eventually arrived gave us a wonderful welcome.

🌼🌹Spring has Sprung!🌹🌼

We are officially open for the season, and welcomed our first Easter break guests in today.

Woweee what a busy few months we have had preparing all our accessible properties and grounds for the year ahead. We have been hard at work behind the scenes as usual, with lots of updates yet again that needed doing. It never quite stops here at Summerfield Farm. So much work, thought and effort goes into keeping our cottages running, with winter still being a very busy time as we get stuck into maintenance work!

There has been multiple jobs to be done including replacing roofing and windows, new guttering, sanding, sanding ohhh and more sanding 😂 which of course has been followed up with some fresh painting and decorating. Polished up new door signs and other signs around site for clearer information. We have replaced the porch entrance roofs to Chomley and Scoresby, along with the upstairs shower rooms getting a fresh new look. Albany and Chomley have also been treated to larger tvs and Abbey view has some lovely outdoor lounge furniture. All our equipment has had its regular service and as usual all the soft furnishings and cottages have had a fabulous deep clean from top to bottom, with finishing touches all ready for your cosy and comfortable holidays.

You will also soon be treated to a much needed new look website, that is much more user friendly and easy to view all our accessible properties and facilities. More updates to come on this so watch this space!!

Huge thanks to all of our team, who have worked so hard the last few months to bring all of this together, with many cuppas and our Labrador Guinness loving all the attention he’s been getting from everyone lately 🐾 we could not complete everything without you all!
