Great vibrant atmosphere
4 / 5 ★
Change of management staff and increase in village residents has achieved a great, vibrant atmosphere. Fortunate to have lots of improvements – lawns, gardens, and community centre – beautiful. Approachable, caring, friendly, supportive staff. Wonderful atmosphere among village residents.
