Will’s woodland
Will’s Woodland is a retreat in Devon exclusively for families on a childhood cancer journey. Set in a private 6 acre woodland, this is an opportunity to take a break away from a hospital setting, in safety and seclusion, to find time to just be as a family.
When children are undergoing treatment, they’re often neutropenic and susceptible to infection, so finding things to do is particularly tricky. They can spend a lot of time in isolation due to a compromised immune system and never-ending infections. The reality of sitting in a room for weeks is extremely and for a young child.
We want to ensure patients can still experience some of the things that other children their age enjoy and we want to help families, wherever they are in their treatment journey, to be able to spend special time together.
The cabin offers all the creature comforts of home. It has a main room, which includes a double bed, the kitchen and an additional bunk-room, and a bathroom. There is a spectacular panoramic veranda and private wood fired hot tub. You will have the chance to meet and feed the pygmy goats, pigs, horses and sheep.
There is no cost to use the retreat and we understand how unpredictable life can be in a cancer journey, so you are welcome to change dates or cancel at a moments notice. To book the cabin complete this form and we will contact you.
