5 Star Review
5 / 5 ★So happy to live here at The Sands
Happy social environment
5 / 5 ★Very happy that we chose The Sands. Convivial and extremely competent staff. Happy, social environment and excellent, warm accommodation.
Good quality facilities
5 / 5 ★I love my seaview. Good quality facilities. With independent living, I can organise my own life. To 'step outside' I am in the village and can (and do) join others in activities here. Well planned. Enjoyable for this end of my life.
Independent Living
5 / 5 ★Having a sister in another home and my parents having been in SEVEN= Yes! I certainly have some experience in this field.
Stunning outlook and terrific staff
5 / 5 ★The staff are so kind and friendly and really took excellent care of Dad but also gave him space to do things he enjoyed - especially morning walks on the beach. We loved the care and attention to the small details that made living in the care suite so easy - the accessibility is first rate. And the way the building uses the common areas to make the best of the sea view was really exceptional and gave Dad real comfort and joy.
This village is small and boutique
4 / 5 ★This village is small and boutique with beach front apartments. It is like a resort with designer furniture and fittings in common areas.

4 / 5 ★No problems
