About this place

A small one-bedroom cottage in an old mining village, set up with Deaf and hard of hearing guests in mind. Check-in is by text or video call, the fire alarms flash and vibrate, and there is a loop in the living room. We inspected the alerting equipment in person and tested it.

    “Text check-in was easy and the alarms all worked when I tested them. It is rare to find a holiday cottage that has thought about any of this.”

Good to know

We list the barriers as carefully as the features. Read these before you request a stay.

  • There is one 100mm step at the entrance. A portable ramp is provided but the cottage is not suitable for a large powerchair.
  • Internal doorways are narrow at 720mm, typical of an old miners cottage.
  • The village is on a hill. The walk to the shop is steep in places.
