Full service description:

Cathleen's Cabin has so far provided many weeks enjoyment and respite for those who need it and has been hosting families and individuals since 2010. Many of those who come to us are referred through Rachel House Children's Hospice in Kinross and Robin House Children's Hospice in Balloch but we also take referrals from other sources. We are very aware that families experiencing ill health or convalescence are often affected by economic hardship and sometimes this makes getting away on holiday very difficult, despite the benefits it could bring. Family and friends are also welcome to come on the break.
