Reviews, awards and our networks with local businesses and the community

At Our Bench, we are delighted when people take the time to say thank you, alot of our reviews have been left direct on our web site, in books or hand delivered cards that we have found in the property on departure and we appreciate every single one - it is lovely to hear what we do well, how we can do better and most importantly how your comments can inspire someone else to come and stay - perhaps their first holiday after a life changing event, or after having an unsuccessful experience.

We can't wait to be able to share your review or your connection too.

A couple of recent guest reviews

These guest reviews share real experiences of accessible holidays at Our Bench, including stays involving multiple sclerosis, changing mobility, and the need for equipment such as hoists and profiling beds. Read more reviews.

“Since my husband became disabled, finding holidays that offer full accessibility including a profiling bed and hoist has been a challenge. When I found Our Bench it was wonderful to see that this family have considered the needs of people like him. A lovely welcome and perfect accommodation meant that we enjoyed a great holiday and we look forward to returning in the future.”

“The main thing for us is the spacious area in the bungalow and around the property. In addition to this, the facility to order various aids rather than bringing them with us. Also, the area is a beautiful part of the country. I’m sure there are various MS organisations around the country who are not even aware Our Bench exists.”
