When I found out I needed hip-replacement surgery, I knew that my 100 year-old house (with one bathroom, upstairs) would not be ideal for my 1st week's post-op. recovery, so I booked myself into The Carriage House. I can't begin to tell you how happy I was with that decision. The staff, from the Manager to the Maintenance man were all so kind and helpful. The dining-room attendants knew my name within a day, (how do they do that?), one of the nurses kept an eye on my dressing, changing it when necessary and she gave me a ''stair-climbing'' coaching session before I left. The place is comfortable (but not obsessively stylish), the food was tasty and there was always a back-up if I didn't fancy the main course. My suite had bathroom, kitchenette, bedroom and living room, adequate space for someone with limited mobility but still reasonably independent. If you have to have a place to stay while recovering from surgery, I have no hesitation in recommending The Carriage House. read more
