The house stands in its own grounds on the Ridgeway just outside Tenby with magnificent views over the Gower and Caldey Island. The garden has been landscaped for wheelchair use and there is plenty of room for children to play.
The ground floor accommodation includes a large kitchen/dining room with cooker, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher and food processor. One of the working units in the kitchen is adjustable for height. The utility room contains a washing machine and dryer. At this level also is the family bathroom, a wheel in shower room and two bedrooms, one with two single beds and bunkbeds, the other with two single beds.
A small indoor heated swimming pool is also available; it has a hoist for pool entry and a changing room with an adjustable changing table.

The ‘special bedroom and bathroom’ which contain an overhead hoist, Kingcraft hydraulic bath, adjustable sink, profiling bed with cot sides and carer’s bed, are next to the parents’ bedroom which has a double bed and en-suite shower room.

Families using the swimming pool must do so in accordance with the safety rules, which are prominently displayed. When not in use the pool hall must be locked and the pool covered.

All the houses are centrally heated, the cost of which is included in the rental as is all the bed linen. The Family Helpers and Housekeepers are available to families in case of problems or emergencies.
