Elderburn Lodges strives to provide amazing holidays for each and every guest that visits us. This means making sure that we are as accessible as possible to those with access requirements and providing top-quality support before and during your stay with us. This is why all of our lodges are equipped with standard wheelchair-width door frames, concrete pads to park on outside directly at each front door, and level access on the ground floor. If you need a holiday that is wheelchair accessible, look no further. We know our lodges will provide you with a comfortable and easy stay, but what about when you want to explore Fife and St. Andrews? To help you with your adventures, we’ve compiled a list of the local firms with wheelchair accessible taxis.

Our list of firms with Wheelchair accessible taxis

Go Flexi Bus

Fife council operate a rural bus service, which acts like a taxi. You can call them on 01382 540 624 or download the app via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and prebook your collection and drop off point (limited North East Fife routes only)

The further in advance you can book the better, as this service can be quite busy. Bookings must be made at least 1 hour prior to travelling and can be made up to one week in advance of your journey.

They best part – is the reduced cost! They charge a bus fare! For example, from Elderburn Lodges to St Andrews town centre is £3.40 per adult*, and from Elderburn Lodges to Leuchars Train Station is £5.80 per adult* – or of course free if you have a NEC card.

There is normally a wheelchair accessible bus which runs on the routes local to us, but please remember to mention it when you book as not all vehicles are suitable for wheelchairs.

The comfort of all our guests here at Elderburn Lodges is paramount. We want to make sure everyone’s stay is perfect, and so when it comes to allergen-free holidays we take this seriously and don’t allow pets into our lodges. 

We do not accept dogs in our lodges with the exception of assistance dogs in Lodge 6. Dog hair can be a terrible irritant to many, and can immediately ruin their holidays. It requires an intense deep clean to ensure all pet hair has been removed from a bed, sofa or other furnishings. By ensuring our lodges are pet-free, everyone can come and share in our beautiful slice of Fife life. 

Dog-free lodges at Elderburn

Our dog-free lodges offer allergen-free holidays to those with a sensitivity to animal hair. You can rest assured (and rest comfortably!) that they have always been pet-free lodges and as a result there won’t be dog hair on the pillows or under the floorboards. 

Elderburn self-catering lodges are cleaned regularly and serviced before new guests arrive, so you can be sure of a tidy and fresh space upon arrival. Fluffy pillows and embracing bed covers also mean a good night’s sleep so you can start the next day fresh. 

Assistance dogs

Assistance dogs are welcome to join their owners in Lodge 6. However, please make us aware of this in advance, as an additional charge will be applied. This is to cover the deep-clean which will be required to ensure the room is suitable for those who suffer with dog allergies. 

Join us for comfortable stays in Fife

Allergies should be the last thing on your mind when you come on holiday. Fortunately, stays at Elderburn Lodge offer you the confidence that your lodge has always been pet-free. So this means you can be sure that you can simply enjoy your break and take in our beautiful surroundings. If you’d like to wake up refreshed, then book a stay with us.
