It was so nice to have the treat of a fantastic hotel. Whilst away, I managed to get some much-needed rest. We also managed a 2-hour visit to a National Trust site close by. The hotel staff were so helpful and the breakfasts were amazing. Thank you so much.

The break away was amazing. I was at absolute burnout. The break allowed me to relax, sitting in the hotel reception area and sew during the evening. The break gave me the downtime I needed.

The break was a timely opportunity to recharge our batteries. We went to a part of the country that was relatively new to us, and we found the experience invigorating. The chance encounters with people were refreshing, and the friendly atmosphere left us with an optimistic view. We would like to pass on our best wishes to the staff at the Red Lion Hotel, who treated us with kindness.

I have been overwhelmed by life, and the pressures on my mental health have been debilitating. This break away was not something I would have taken, but I am so glad I did. Just being able to focus on myself and relax was fabulous. The hotel was very comfortable and the staff very friendly.

The break was very important as I was at burn out point and needed a breakwater. This helped massively to be able to take a break and try and reset a bit before coming back to it all. A change of scenery and seeing people living their lives in a different place helped give a bit of perspective and remind me that there is a world 'out there'. Very good for my own mental health, thank you.

Being able to walk on the south coast is so therapeutic for me. I feel really rejuvenated. The Kings Head at Wimborne was excellent and made me feel really welcome. Especially the restaurant staff. Thank you 😊

It made a difference to spend quality time with my husband without having to put my care duties first. It helped my mental health to be away from home, enjoying fun activities. I felt recharged when I returned home. The hotel room was clean and spacious, and the hotel staff were helpful.
