Holidays for people with sight loss can be a daunting prospect - particularly for those who are recently diagnosed as visually impaired and who may find the idea of holidaying in unfamiliar surroundings very worrying.
But we all need a break from time to time, and the Royal Blind Society can offer holidays specially tailored to your needs in a variety of locations. |

Bradbury Hotel (formerly Honeywood House)
Sir Terry Wogan officially opened the newly renamed Bradbury Hotel in East Preston, West Sussex in April 2007. Formerly known as Honeywood House, the hotel offers visually impaired people safe, comfortable and stress-free holidays in the beautiful surroundings of landscaped gardens and open parkland. The hotel is only twenty minutes walk from the sea.
With its specialised facilities and trained staff, The Bradbury Hotel is the ideal holiday location for guests with long-term blindness or partial vision. It is also suited to those who are newly blind and coming to terms with their loss of sight and who find the thought of a mainstream hotel too daunting.
Besides the obvious attraction of the sea, the area also offers the Sussex Downs as well as major coastal resorts and shopping centres such as Brighton and Worthing. Also within easy reach are historic towns such as Arundel and Chichester.
