County page review
“As Jubilee Lodge is so close to town, it is easy to walk to the shops, library, park, pubs and cafes – it’s a perfect location. This means I don’t always have to use my car. Also being local, I can still see my friends and go to my U3A meetings as well. It’s the best move I’ve made!”
