Wheel Escapes

Wheel Escapes We’re a husband-and-wife team, both living with disabilities, sharing no-nonsense reviews of accessible holidays. Welcome.

We’re a husband-and-wife team, both disabled, and passionate about accessible travel that actually works for real people. We created Wheel Escapes because too many “accessible” holidays aren’t. So we’re on a mission to review and share honest, first-hand experiences — from hotel stays to cruises, flights to city breaks. We don’t sugar-coat and we speak from lived experience. Whether you travel regularly or dream of a future trip, we’re here to help make accessible holidays less of a gamble.

When most people book a holiday, they’re thinking about sun cream, flip-flops, and how many pairs of pants to pack.

Me? I’m trying to determine if my hotel room is wheelchair accessible, whether my chair will survive the flight, and how many backup plans I’ll need if – or when – access fails.
