My staff team considered it the best residential we have run with S6. We found the Abernethy staff welcoming, helpful, positive, and professional.

The food throughout the weekend was exceptional. I'm gluten/dairy free and the provision was the best I've ever had.

I can confirm that there is evidence of generous hospitality; of a desire to relate the natural surroundings to prayer and faith and a deepening sense of Christian community.
