Overview

The Big Tin Barn exemplifies how thoughtful design can create inclusive and memorable holiday experiences. Managed by Billy, this fully accessible holiday home emerged from a personal understanding of the challenges families face when travelling with loved ones who have disabilities or complex care needs. 

From the outset, the vision was to go beyond the typical clinical feel of accessible accommodations, crafting a luxurious and welcoming retreat that caters comprehensively to diverse care requirements. That’s where we came in.

Innova helped to bring this vision to life. Our expertise helped the Big Tin Barn get equipped with a multitude of accessibility features.

The accessible bedroom includes a ceiling track hoist that extends seamlessly into the wetroom, making mobility and caregiving tasks easier to manage. The wetroom itself includes a rise-and-fall bath, Aqua spa toilet, rise-and-fall sink, shower trolley, and a wheeled commode, ensuring comfort and usability for guests. Paired with its spacious design, an additional upstairs bedroom adds flexibility for larger groups, making the property ideal for family gatherings. 

Visitors often praise the Big Tin Barn for its excellent layout and attention to detail in meeting a wide array of care needs, setting a new benchmark for accessible holiday accommodations.
