Accommodation is in 24 furnished and tastefully decorated single en-suite bedrooms. 14 Rooms in the old house and the remaining 10 in a purpose built extension (circa2001). The majority of these room are on the ground floor. residents are encouraged to re-create the atmosphere of their own home by personalising their rooms with items of their own furniture, and personal possessions.

The first lounge is in the front of the house, while the second is in the new wing and has patio doors that open out into the garden. It is a delightful garden in which to simple sit and enjoy the colourful surroundings or walk around the footpaths that allow easy access to all areas. The more active if they wish can lend a hand planting summer flowers in the pots or raised beds.
