Peace, Nature, and a Book: Melissa’s Perfect Break
Melissa was offered a 2-night stay at Brucefield Estate. This break was a cancellation which was offered to her last minute. Melissa could not believe her luck as she happened to be on annual leave the week of the break. This Respitality break came up at the perfect time and she felt it was just meant to be.
Melissa cares for her two parents whilst working full time and her caring role takes up most of her free time outside of work. Before being offered the break, Melissa was very stressed as her caring role and also her work can be a very emotionally draining. She felt she was on the road to burn out and this break was just what she needed.
"I had taken time off work to try and re-centre when I was informed of the break - perfect timing.”
A break like that does wonders for me mentally, and I truly feel re-fuelled. I honestly can't thank you enough for giving me this opportunity. Thank you so much!Melissa Unpaid carer, and recipient of a Brucefield Estate break
Staying at Brucefield Estate was an amazing experience for Melissa, she said it was a beautiful location and extremely relaxing. She enjoyed the peace and quiet of the Schenbothy and enjoyed being in nature and “just spending time with a book! A rare luxury.”
Melissa said that the staff were friendly and helpful which made her break even better. The location itself was so peaceful, and she had lovely weather while staying at Brucefield Estate, allowing her to spend time out in the fresh air. Brucefield Estate is pet friendly, and so, she was able to take her dog with her to enjoy the break together! Melissa felt this was a very refreshing experience.
