Brathay Trust

Brathay is in a lovely setting and is a beautiful building. Unfortunately, the lack of interest let's them down. The breakfast was a shopping basket of pot cereal, fruit, yoghurt, milk and cereal bars delivered to the room. The room was clean and spacious. One big issue was being given wifi (password sign up in the reception) and it worked fine for a few hours. When it failed, we were told we were not entitled to wifi!!!! Very strange and inconsistent communication. Lastly, my wife wanted a late check out to await my return from a hike and was told 10 an hour! I find that unacceptable. Generally staff were disinterested in assisting. Very disappointed. Will find elsewhere to stay next time we are in Ambleside.

I attended this centre as part of a work development programme. As a result of my management style (ex Military officer with adhd, on the autism spectrum and dyslexia), Julian made a report decision to my employer saying that I would not fit in their strategic plans moving forward. As a result of this I was dismissed with one weeks notice within 6 weeks of the course with Julians comments cited in my dismissal letter. I went to challenge this in court on grounds of disability discrimination and won a substantial judgment against my former employer as a result. Be careful if you are asked to attend here, anything and everything you say will be noted and can have dire professional inpact if you are not careful. I have a new employer who see the value of my work, I excel now with no thanks to the behaviour of this organisation. Be careful
