A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

Our dad was lonely and vulnerable after being widowed. We weren't sure if this was the right move for him, but he absolutely loved living here. He really enjoyed all the social events (coffee mornings, games nights, film afternoons, Sunday tea, etc etc). He did draw the line at bingo though! And if that's not for you then you don't have to join in. We did look at other retirement blocks in the area but none compared to this one with the above activities and superb location.
