Client Feedback
A big "Thank You" to all our guests for their comments:
About the Counselling & Retreats... ... (for Accommodation & Location - scroll down)
- Just the right balance of professionalism and real humanity
- What a great day - I feel so relaxed and chilled - I enjoyed the creative stuff in the afternoon and the coaching session in the morning. I am going away with a real sense of what's important in my life and how to make sure I allocate time for me. I'd like to come back and do more.(Client quotes from a "Team Day" out)
- I feel like it's okay to be me - I don't have to fit in with everybody else's ideas - I've learnt so much about myself, what I like and don't like, what I want and don't want out of my life and relationships.
- I felt a sense of being able to let go and just be myself in a way I have NEVER been with another person. This was a big relief and although its been hard readjusting to the shape of my life back here, I don't regret doing it at all. I also learnt that me being myself doesn't mean I'm miserable all the time - which was a bit of a relevation!
- A counsellor who is non-judgmental, understanding and definately worth trusting with the most difficult things. When you find a person who can totally accept you despite all the horrible stuff, you can start to believe you can do it for yourself one day.
- For someone with an eating disorder, I personally found the attitude to food helpful, so I felt more relaxed about it than I had expected to. Had I stayed longer, I think I would have started eating even more and going for walks after dinner was really helpful. Not having a huge deal made out of what you were eating (and when) made it feel like it was an ALMOST normal thing to be doing - I can't remember when I last felt like that.
- It was good to be able to talk about my faith and what I believe without being criticised. I never felt preached at - just understood.
- I sort of felt a bit like what I think it must be like to be part of a family
- I would definately recommend you to anyone!
- My stay helped me in various ways, for example treating me like a "normal" person, with gentleness, care and love, accepting me as I was at that moment. You helped me to believe that I was lovable and to get my thoughts and feelings sorted out - to trust myself.
- I had lost my appetite due to the depression and really appreciated those little pieces of toast with smiley faces and cups of tea.
- I was given the space needed to think over and talk about stress related things in my life, with freedom to cry and express other emotions.
- It was just what I needed - a place of safety and refuge - time and space to discover who I really am
- The quiet time and all the counselling helped me to make major decisions
- and to move forward with my life
- You've helped me to work through the past and to see how it affected me so much - and to make plans for the future. I'm now going to do something I have wanted to do since I was a child.
- I have hope now and feel that I can cope with life on my own.
- I always feel clearer in my head after I see you.
- I can't talk about these things with anyone else.
- You help me know what I think and feel when I'm confused - what's important to me!
- I am amazed at the progress I made in a short space of time (20 Counselling Sessions plus a 12 day Retreat). Being able to discuss things on a daily basis really helped me to be able to focus and for the first time in 8 months I felt able to cope and survive! I am now so positive about things and calm about things in the past. Given that the only option available to me was admission to an acute psychiatric hospital, the Retreat allowed me to be in a safe place which was more appropriate to my needs. I am now making plans to return to work... ... ...Thank you both once again!
- This has been the most nurturing holiday ever - we have enjoyed being looked after so well.
- I particularly valued the counselling & life coaching sessions on holiday, as I then had time to think about the issues further in "free" time.
- Thank you so much - you've really helped me to change my life.
- I took a real risk in coming but I'm glad I did. The place itself helps me to slow down and think more clearly. It has been very helpful to be here.
- I've found it very helpful to be here - particularly the tips on planning and prioritising. I really needed the time out and am feeling positive about making the changes I need to, to get where I want to be. Thank you!
About the Accommodation & Location... ...
- An extremely warm, welcoming and friendly atmosphere that makes you feel at home without being crowded.
- Brilliant location for a Team Day out - it's so beautiful all around. We enjoyed the walk on the beach - so unspoilt. I'd like to experience a Team Residential Training Event.
- A beautiful setting. I felt like I was taking time out from my life but it wasn't like running away from the world - I felt more a part of the world than I do normally.
- This is an excellent B & B - very clean and comfortable - and service with a smile. I would recommend it to anyone.
- The photos didn't do it justice - so much space!
- We slept like logs - the beds are so comfy
- It's very peaceful and quiet. Eating breakfast with that view is lovely. You're so lucky living with it all the time.
- The bed was very comfy and I really liked the bathroom!
- Great food and presented beautifully too.
- It's so peaceful and it has a lovely feel about it - like it's healing just to be here.
- Ace breakfasts! Generous helpings and so tasty. Great view to eat in front of too. We're glad we found you, we'll be back and we'll tell others about you too.
- I slept like a log and I've really enjoyed my stay, thank you. You have a beautiful place here and I'd love to come back!
- Without doubt the most pleasant accommodation I have experienced when visiting Dornoch. Great weather, fantastic golf course and superb hospitality. Many thanks.
- Lovely big towels that wrap right round you instead of towels that don't meet in the middle!
- We received such a warm welcome we felt at home instantly. We have never had such spacious accommodation or been so well looked after.
- The views are stunning, the location is perfect; such a variety of birds and wildlife so near.
- We have really appreciated our wonderful breakfasts and meals in such lovely surroundings.
- Everything has been of such high quality and added to our comfort. Super large towels, lovely home-cooked food and deep, deep mattresses - the first time my husband hasn't experienced back pain on holiday for years!
- A wonderful holiday and experience of Scotland - superb weather too.
