About this property
Relax in this handsome larch forge, set within The Able Stables complex on the owner’s farm in the delightful village of East Rudham. Sam's Cottage is curated on one level and has been carefully created to incorporate the assisted living requirements of the independent wheelchair user.
This is a fabulous property which presents a unique holiday for both disabled and non-disabled guests. Sam's Cottage offers an ideal bolthole free from the stresses of everyday life for anyone wishing to enjoy a secluded holiday in the Norfolk countryside. It is situated within its own private walled courtyard and the location makes it a perfect choice for all manner of holidaymakers: birdwatchers, walkers, cyclists, and beach lovers... anyone looking for a relaxing Norfolk 'hideaway' to escape to for a short or longer break throughout the seasons. Within the larch Forge there is a full wet room, kitchen and dining area with wall mounted televisions in both the bedroom and kitchen. The cosy bedroom is set up as a super-king size bed, however this can be made up as two singles on request.
The Able Stables can arrange for either right or left transfer for the bed when set up as a double, and raise the bed to accommodate a hoist, via an excellent Norwich based company that rents hoists out on a weekly basis. Please request at time of booking.
A truly amazing outside/inside sitting room with ample comfortable seating and dining area, unique furniture, wood burning stove and overhead heating adds to the charm and individuality of this destination.
Sam's Cottage is run as a social enterprise. Together with the owners other property, Garden Cottage, the funds raised from paying guests go towards offering subsidised breaks to clients that would normally not be able to pay to get away. With these subsidised breaks there is an emphasis on disability of all kinds but the property would suit anyone that wanted a great place to get away in a unique, reassuring and safe space.
When booking, if you do have specific accessibility requests, please speak to the team who will be able to help you further.
If you are a larger group why not consider taking the Garden Cottage too and make the most of all that both properties offer.

We loved our stay at Sam's Cottage! It was a very peaceful and relaxing holiday, and the dogs loved it too. One of ours can be a bit reactive and has a tendency to escape so the 8ft wall surrounding the cottage was lovely! Bed was super comfy too so made for a great night's sleep, and it was nice to be greeted by the owner when we got there and shown around.

Our second time here in Sam's Cottage at the Able Stables. Thanks to the owner's continued kindness and hard work, I have been very fortunate to enjoy this break, which I have been able to do whilst also having a rest from cancer treatment. I would also like to thank all of the other guests whose generosity help to make this possible for people like me and others not so fortunate to have this opportunity. There are not enough words to express my thanks for such a wonderful time before I resume my treatment in a few weeks time. I have made lots of memories here and I'm sure to relive them during the long winter ahead with fondness. I hope all other guests here enjoy their stay as much as I have. Many thanks to everybody who made this possible.
