Information on Accessibility

Having additional access requirements does not mean you cannot travel the world or that you cannot be active and do the things you enjoy. Good information, infrastructure and support are key to enabling you to make informed decisions and plan a barrier free holiday.

We have categorised all our listings using the following generalised categories. Where applicable, we have also provided the National Accessible Scheme (NAS) logos awarded to selected UK properties.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Categories are only meant to help you identify relevant listings easier. Information regarding specific accessibility features will be provided within each listing and we would always advise you to complete our Individual Travel Profile so as to tell us more about your preferences and requirements, as well as to speak to one of our consultants.

National Accessible Scheme | England, UK

The National Accessible Scheme (NAS) is a national scheme which helps you find accommodation to suit your needs, independently assessed by trained assessors against demanding criteria. Assessed properties will have facilities such as handrails, ramps, level-access showers, hearing loops and colour contrast. A list of the NAS logos and explanations are shown below.

The ratings are split into 3 categories for:

  • Mobility impaired and older people
  • Visually impaired and blind people
  • Hearing impaired and deaf people

For more information please visit the National Accessible Scheme.

Please note that this scheme is only applicable for properties in the United Kingdom and that not all properties participate in the scheme.
