Accessibility Guide for Dracup's Cottage

Welcome

Dracup's Cottage is an 1860's terraced cottage, originally built as the accommodation for the nearby steam railway workers. In the last two decades of the 20th century an artist, who owned the cottage at the time, transformed it into a work of art. We have preserved all the artistic features, and the cottage still has its 19th century structure. Modern facilities have been added to ensure comfort for the present day tourists.
