" I laugh a lot, I cry a lot and I walk a lot and I feel much better."

‘At Minsteracres what you did was wonderful. You changed it for me, from being a sort of Christian responsibility, to a growing awareness (it’s early days yet), of God’s real presence in Creation, as a gift to us , a gift we take for granted and abuse. As always, God shows us through Jesus. People suffer when we abuse creation, and wherever people suffer, Jesus is there with them. When I say ‘people’, I mean both people far away who we don’t see and forget to care about, but also ourselves. When we don’t appreciate a gift, we don’t appreciate the love in the gift. When I don’t appreciate God’s love, I deaden a part of myself.’

" I had a wonderful time here. Overall I was impressed by the sheer beauty of the house and surrounding area and the efficient, competent and excellent management at every level. But for me the ‘icing’ on the cake was the warm, friendly ‘non fussy’ welcome and attitude of our hosts and hostesses, which meant we got to enjoy to the full!"

" What can I say? The weekend far surpassed any expectations!! What a truly Blessed and Spiritual place Minsteracres is. All the staff and workers were so helpful, patient and kind. The accommodation was very restful and comfortable and the food was fab. I was not hungry once over the weekend. Everyone had a great time. We laughed a lot and cried a lot. We even managed to sing a lot! We are looking forward to the next time!!"
