Our Patron

Our Patron – HM Queen Camilla

HM Queen Camilla kindly agreed to become our Patron in November 2007 and has been supporting us ever since.

Since then she has visited a number of times to support our fundraising efforts and to meet some of the disabled families who have enjoyed a holiday here.

During the Covid-19 pandemic our patron visited to hear how we have been getting on, and to find out first hand about the challenges we faced. Due to governement restrictions only Maggie and her husband Iain were able to meet with HM on this visit.

We are very proud of our Patron’s involvement in our Charity, and look forward to welcoming her again in the future.

Superb cottages in a beautiful location Had a great week in one of the 4 cottages here. They are right by the River Don and next door to Balmoral. Set in lovely grounds with space to sit outside. These wee cottages are fully accessible and thus it was great to have a riser/recliner chair and profiling bed for one of our party. The food storage space and fridge were too small in Gairn ( the smallest cottage) but there is a laundry room with extra fridge and freezer space which we made use of. Very nice accommodation and would definitely go back. Lovely, helpful staff both at booking stage and onsite. A great find and highly recommended if you need an accessible holiday venue.

The facilities provided were the best we have found in the UK for disabled people requiring ceiling hoist. The location is stunning and Maggie and all the volunteers were so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back to Crathie Opportunity Holidays!Kevin & Tricia
