Watch: The deaf couple who run a B&B (via BBC See Hear)

Posted on May 4, 2018 by



The BBC’s See Hear programme has interviewed a Deaf couple who run an B&B in Somerset, and the video has now also been released online. The text says:

Running a B&B can be a challenge for most owners, something Piers and Magdalena – who are profoundly deaf – know all too well.

Together they run the Summerhouse Bed and Breakfast in Pensford, Somerset.

They communicate with their hearing guests using sign language and prompt sheets.

Their story is featured in the latest episode of See Hear and can also be seen below:
