I felt like it gave me the space to clear my head. On my break, I was able to have a conversation with a professional friend who gave me some advice. It was great to have that conversation in a new environment, but also, I was able to articulate myself better plus hear and understand clearly the advice that she was sharing with me. It was just useful to be in a different environment from my usual space at home.

Having time away to recharge and get on the same page with my partner has been vital. Without it, I’m sure one or both of us would burn out completely.

This break was so important as my husband and I were both approaching burn out. The communication between us was near non existent and we really needed time to connect and communicate and rest! We returned home better connected, rested and more confident we could cope and work better together. Thank you to The Bear Hotel! We truly appreciate the break and we felt comfortable and able to relax the whole stay 😊

It was a lovely break, allowing me to relax without thinking about my caring role. The hotel staff were very polite, patient, informative, and professional.

The gesture is amazingly rewarding. Gives an opportunity for time-out to relax, have a break and not have to worry about the cost. The breakfast was excellent quality and a suitable selection, including healthier options. The staff were kind and attentive. Overall, very good - a very much needed break, thanks to Carefree. Once again, Thank You!
