So lovely a staff’s and beautiful place and good care for old people like big family
Best place to work and best place for Good Care for elderly.
Brilliant. Wonderful attentive staff. Plenty of activities. Great facilities well kept. Like the food lots. And my mum is very happy. The harp and glass of wine are very nice touches.
We were visiting today when we were unexpectedly invited to share lunch with our resident uncles.The food was wholesome and most enjoyable, so much so that I want the vegetarian burger recipe! Thanks to Kate for being so gracious and all the other caring staff. Phillipa & James Gregory.l
