    It’s absolutely perfect in every way. We feel totally pampered living here – it’s like being in a hotel. The position by the river is lovely and the access into the town centre is so easy. The facilities and the staff are all brilliant too. And the neighbours are all lovely – it’s like living with friends.
    Mr and Mrs Fletcher, homeowners, Stour Gate
