Outside Spaces

Our gardens, the great outdoors and nature are as much a part of our home, as our clinic rooms and bedrooms.

The Bistro, Living Well lounge, physiotherapy gym and Arthur's Shed look out onto lovely flower beds and open spaces and all of the bedrooms on our Inpatient Unit open out onto accessible garden patios.

We even have green grassy roofs, much to the delight of the surrounding birds and bugs. We have resident squirrels, bluetits and magpies, pheasants and even a muntjac deer or two!

Whether you are sitting on the balcony outside a family apartments or enjoying a coffee on the decking outside the Bistro, you can hear the birds and the rustle of leaves in the breeze. Nature is never far away.
