“It had been over a year since I had a day to myself to just think and breathe. It was like being in another world, being able to just sleep and eat for one day in peace.”
Kayley, who stayed at Village Hotel Coventry
“This break taught me that I need to take more care of myself so I can take better care of them.”
Patricia, who stayed at Dunston Hall Hotel
“It was like stepping into another world for a brief moment.”
Hayleigh, who stayed at DoubleTree by Hilton Bath

Julie, who stayed at Village Hotel Maidstone
