Excellent village co-ordinator
3 / 5 ★
Our Village Co-ordinator is excellent - Sarah Ryder.<br /> I have very few expectations of Stillwater in general. Very disappointing.

Could Be Better
2 / 5 ★
Good staff [seem to] move on quickly, poor staff still employed...(eds.) Not the happy retirement we had planned.

Two Stars
2 / 5 ★
[I feel as though...] we are treated like a commodity and not a customer. [I feel like...] money is more important than treating us as paying residents. We just want a comfortable life (eds.)
