Resident rooms
Our home was refurbished in 2023, and our rooms are bright and spacious and come with modern furniture as a standard, however Residents are welcome to bring their own furniture if preferred.
The majority of our bedrooms enjoy either full seaviews, or a mix of partial views of Seaburn park and the seafront.
A few bedrooms have views of Seaburn Park exclusively, however Residents can still enjoy seaviews and garden scenes from the comfort of our common areas and beautifully landscaped front gardens.
Common areas
Residents can enjoy the company of others in our spacious dining room, lounges, conservatory, patio and landscaped front gardens, most of which have seaviews.
Princess House has a lift, and is wheelchair accesible.
