“It was such a positive experience! We felt so at home, the staff volunteers and trainees were inspirational and encouraging. It made you feel at ease and confident. I am so glad we know about Bendrigg!
We couldn’t fault the facilities, they were excellently laid out, the lounge was a great place to socialise and share what we had been doing during the day. Very disabled friendly with a fantastic view!
