What's included
When you compare like for like — same destination, same number of nights, and the hands-on care we provide as standard — you'll see just how much your Spiral holiday includes.
Accommodation
Half-board (breakfast & dinner) is included on all Spiral holidays. We choose hotels, guesthouses or holiday homes that match each traveller's needs and preferences. Rooms are comfortable and clean, with accessible options wherever possible — such as step-free access, lift access, grab rails or walk-in showers where available.
Travel
We provide transport from Spiral to your destination and back again, plus all local transfers on the holiday. Depending on the trip, this may include our accessible minibus, flights and airport transfers, ferries, canal boats, coaches or trains. Our team handles the logistics so you can relax — luggage assistance, check-in and ticketing, and rest breaks on longer journeys.
24/7 Care & Support
Our trained care staff provide round-the-clock support tailored to each respite guest. Before travelling, we complete an assessment to understand routines, mobility, communication style and any health needs. Support is planned individually, with staff-to-client ratios ranging from 3:1 through to full 1:1, depending on the level of care required. Support can include personal care, medication prompts or administration, mealtime and dietary support, help with money and shopping, and communication support such as visual schedules or easy-read information where helpful.
Trips
Every Spiral holiday includes a programme of trips and days out, chosen to suit the group and the destination. From shopping days and scenic boat trips to zoos, museums, markets and seasonal attractions, there's always something to look forward to. Excursions are planned with accessibility in mind — we check venue access, travel times and rest stops in advance — and there's no pressure to join everything. Guests can take part in as much or as little as they like.
New Experiences
Holidays are a chance to try something new — at your pace, with the right support. Enjoy scenic mountain and moorland railway journeys, dolphin-spotting boat trips, life aboard a canal boat (even taking a supervised turn at the tiller), local foods, festivals and parades, or your very first overseas trip. Beforehand, we'll talk through what you'd like to try and any worries you have, and we can offer airport practice runs, easy-read guides, sensory-friendly planning and flexible alternatives on the day.
Accessibility
We're committed to making our holidays as accessible and inclusive as possible. Wherever we can, we prioritise step-free routes and venues, checking lift access, accessible toilets, door widths and parking. We now have our own mobile hoist, which can join us on many holidays to make them even more inclusive. We're happy to discuss individual requirements and explore arranging specialist equipment or adjustments to ensure your comfort.
