The demands of living with a seriously ill child have a huge impact on the whole family. This often results in a dramatic loss in family time due to frequent visits and admissions to hospital/hospices. Juggling work commitments with caring for a sick child may lead to financial loss, increasing stress and fatigue in what is already an extremely challenging situation. These families need time away together, but circumstances prevent this as booking normal holidays is virtually impossible.

The Bluebells provides respite holidays for families of life-limited and seriously-ill children enabling them to spend precious time together in privacy. The house contains two spacious, fully equipped family apartments. Leisure facilities include a hydrotherapy pool and spa, music room, wet play/art room, movie room, library and sensory room with complimentary therapy suite. Outside there is a dining area with BBQ, adventure playground, mini golf course and a secret meadow.
