All cottages and bungalows have conservatories, with some variations in architectural style. The apartments have a security entry phone system, carpeted lobby area and similar accommodation and fittings to the cottages.
There are twenty seven two and three-bedroom cottages and some apartments and bungalows all set in a little over four acres of grounds. There is an all-weather tennis court and a swimming pool, with changing rooms, which can be used throughout the year.
