First break in quite a while and enjoyed every minute of it. Lovely hotel, friendly, helpful staff, good food and a comfortable bed. So all in all, a big thank you to the Highlander Hotel, Newtonmore. An additional bonus was being able to take my wee dog with me, who was made very welcome at the hotel - also having really good weather and of course the beautiful scenery. Thank you also to Carefree. I so appreciated the break at this lovely hotel.

I had a relaxing break at the Glenburn hotel in Bute. Staff were fantastic, as was the accommodation and island of Bute. A special thank you to the Glenburn and Carefree for making this possible.

Enjoyed every minute of it. A much needed peaceful quiet break and I came back refreshed and rested ready to take on the world again. Lovely hotel, comfortable bed, nice room and good breakfast. Thank you Carefree. It was very much appreciated.

What a wonderful time we had away. My husband and I rarely get time to ourselves. As my daughter has gotten older her needs have become harder. It’s been great to have time away to eat a meal uninterrupted and to have quiet in the morning. Things we used to take for granted. Thanks.

I had a wonderful break away. It was so relaxing and great to feel like I could switch off. I came home feeling refreshed . My break came at a particularly challenging time in my caring role so it really benefitted me x

A much needed restful 2 night break in a lovely hotel. Wonderful to have time to myself, to have a good night’s sleep and not to have to cook or even make a bed. A bit of breathing space enabled me to come home with a more positive outlook.

I mainly enjoyed the lovely hotel. Having someone else cook for me. Having time to chill out without feeling guilty or stressed. I'm so grateful for the opportunity.

I got a good night's sleep for the first time in years. I was able to eat a meal, uninterrupted, and felt human again. This was the most amazing experience. The hotel and the staff were lovely and so kind. We had the best time. Thanks to everyone at Carefree. This has been a much needed break for me and my husband. Thanks for making this possible.

It was just great to get away and walk. For the first time in my life, I spend time as a proper tourist in Edinburgh. I explored and wander around museums.
