Our rooms come unfurnished so you can personalise it and make it feel home. Each room has an en-suite walk-in shower and a kitchenette, allowing you to have a gentle start to the day and make breakfast at your own pace.

As all of our suites on the ground floor, have access to our beautiful and attractive garden, which is the perfect place to catch up with family and friends or sit and enjoy the sunshine in the summer. Our first floor flat has internal stairs with a stairlift if needed, and has private access to the garden via a wooden staircase.

Making friends in the house is easy, we have a large dining area and lounge which was recently extended to provide additional space and now has access to the garden. They, along with our sun room, are the perfect place to play board games or do puzzles with other residents, or spending time reading or just enjoying a quiet moment." Show less
