Accessible Holiday Home in Blackpool
Why Holiday HEIM?
We love to travel, and as a big, blended family ourselves we found it difficult to find accommodation large enough for the whole family without it costing lots of money – we always wanted to make The Townhouse an inclusive property to accommodate one or two people in the group who may have accessibility requirements.

Geberit Shower Toilet
The Geberit AquaClean Mera Care shower toilet is designed to put you in control.
Its innovative features include a hybrid hot water system with continuous flow heater and water storage heater guarantees warm water even if the wash is run one after another.
The one-minute wash cycle draws from the warmed tank of water and the continuous flow heater on the first use, this can be followed by another minute of wash with warm water directly from the continuous flow heater, whilst the water storage tank refills.
Thanks to this technology you’ll always have a warm water wash and the confidence to feel clean.
Warm air drying will leave you clean and fresh, along with a single activation control panel for ease of use.
Everything is designed with your comfort and convenience in mind.
