What a lifesaver. I have stayed here now in two occasions. One a five Night stay one a 11 night stay. The staff was absolutely outstanding, approachable friendly non judgmental and just amazing. Always there to listen day or night. But respecting your privacy too. The house it self is homely and gives you a hug as you walk through the door. Its very well layer out. Thank you

I needed crisis house so much, after being in hospital after a nervous breakdown. I stayed for 5 nights. By day 3, I fell really sick with a 48 hour bug. I went out in the beautiful garden for a cigarette at 10:30am. Then went back to my bed. I couldnt breathe out my nose and just felt really rough. Then there was a knock on my door by staff. She said " was you with a man in garden". I said "No, I just told one other girl staying there Im ill". Then 5 minutes later she came back, with another member of staff. She said accusingly "Is someone in your room?". I said "No". My anxiety started to creep up on me. Not even 2 minutes later, another member of staff knocked on my door. " Erm we need to run taps in your bathroom, we do it every week". I said, " You think someone's in the bathroom, have a look". She said " No, we just need to run the taps". She went in bathroom running the taps. I felt falsly accused and not believed. It ruined my last 3 days. I didn't feel as comftable as I did, the previous 2 days. It felt worse at the time because I was so sick. The 3 staff members, avoided seeing me after that. It put a dampener on the rest of the stay. Apart from that, it was the break I needed from the world. I had peace, space to think and I think this is beneficial to people who are in a sunken place. To the staff, please don't accuse anyone of anything you don't know to be true. It's not fair and you have no idea what that person is going through!! I knew the rules and did not break any!! One girl who was there at the time I was, broke your rules and you still allowed her to stay. Don't think that would of applied to me, going by that morning.

My dad who is suicidal was taken here.. there were 2 occasions where he managed to escape the house unchallenged. The 1st time we were lucky to stop him but the 2nd time he was out of the house for over an hour before it was even noticed he had es escaped. This isn't a criticism of all the staff there as certain members seemed to be more compassionate than others but I don't want to name drop. On this particular occasion the new staff that came in to take over didn't seem interested or care in any way that my dad had escaped. He was sent there to be kept safe but he was far from it it seems..not impressed at all.
