It was nice to have a break away with my partner when the alarm didn’t need to be set, and we could go what we wanted knowing my son was being cared for. We have used Village Hotels before and always had a fab time!

It was really lovely. The hotel was fab - not somewhere I could have afforded to stay. It was great to just relax

Our hotel was wonderful; breakfast was such a treat. Our room was clean and peaceful, and we didn’t want to leave. We definitely felt treated and truly appreciated the opportunity to be offered this Carefree break. It was much needed. Many thanks.

It was a fantastic chance to get out of the city with my partner and leave my caring responsibilities behind for a day or two. And he proposed!!

Thank you all so much. It's been a really hard few months caring for my son who was in crisis. This break helped me rest and spend time with my husband, allowing us to find ourselves again. This time away meant the world to us.

Staff were friendly and helpful. On-site facilities were good. We chose Swindon as a location so on our way home, we could call in and see our youngest son and daughter in law who we hadn't seen for a while. An amazing scheme to give carers a break and make me feel valued as a carer.
