FAQs
I will need adaptations to my accommodation. Is this something you can arrange?
Yes. Many of the holiday properties we advertise are suitable for people who are blind or partially sighted. A number of cottages and hotels both in the UK and overseas specifically cater for people with sight impairments. Some adaptations we can arrange are:
- Furniture that has been specifically designed to aid, rather than impair, spatial awareness
- Onsite information in large print or Braille
- Kitchen equipment with built-in talking features
