Guest Comments

"Of the tens of care environments I've experienced, the CTK is the best. An outdoor activities centre for disabled people, the staff have an excellent professional but relaxed and accommodating relationship with guests. Needs are met with the minimum of fuss by experienced and well trained carers. Accommodation is great and the activities are something else. Do come, the water's fine! (I know I'm being effusive, but the difference at CTK is that it's true and not just rhetoric!)"

"I came to the Calvert Trust Kielder with my wife and four friends for the MS Taster Weekend in October.  It was the most fun I have had for many years and I was astonished at the patience and expertise your staff showed in ensuring that my disability didn't get in the way of me using any of the activities.  We are all very grateful to you and your wonderful staff.  Thank you all."

"Thank you so much for giving Claire such a wonderful time last week.  You can't imagine what a difference it made to her as well as us knowing that there is somewhere that Claire can come to enjoy herself, be well looked after and give us a break will make the coming weeks and months much easier".

"Ian had a very good week and tried some new activities - laser clays and geocaching which he enjoyed very much.  It is most commendable that you team keep coming up with new ideas which in our view is very good for the regular visitors to have new challenges.  We would also like to say how much the staff make us welcome when we stayed for our Autumn break.  We have a nice holiday whilst Ian enjoys his time doing the activities".
