“The community was lovely here right from day one, and our fantastic House Manager, Kirsten, has been instrumental in setting up lots of fabulous social occasions for us to really get to know each other. It’s now stepped up from coffee mornings together to eating out at restaurants and even going to concerts, which is such a contrast to my lifestyle at my previous property which was lovely, but lonely. Aside from being beautiful, there’s a real buzz around the town, and everyone here is just so friendly. It really is a new life for me here and I’m loving every second.”
