Residents live in spacious, stylish ensuite rooms, and enjoy beautifully furnished shared spaces and landscaped gardens. From the deluxe picture house - where we screen classic films - to the on-site luxury spa - offering hairdressing, manicures and relaxing therapies - everything has been designed and finished with the care and attention you would expect from a 5-star hotel.
