Catering facilities provide the option of a freshly prepared 3 course lunch in the Restaurant (table service), and evening sandwich platters delivered to your apartment. A private dining room is available to host family get-togethers or small parties. Within the development there is a hair and beauty salon, fully equipped laundry rooms, and a locked garage area for charging mobility scooters. Should your guests wish to stay overnight, a private en-suite guest suite is available on the ground floor (small fee applies). The service charge covers maintenance of all the communal areas and includes 1-hour of domestic assistance per week; additional assistance can be arranged through the Estate Manager as required.
