The New Forest National Park is a short drive inland, offering miles of woodland walks and wildlife. Nearby Milford on Sea and Hurst Castle make for lovely day trips with family.

We are very pleased that my sister has settled into Bethel House extremely well. She has a good relationship with the staff
and appreciates the care they give her, as do we. My sister sometimes helps fold table napkins, giving her a sense of purpose and achievement. We can rest assured that she is in very competent and capable hands. Although the staff have a busy job they always make time to listen to my sister if she has any concern she wishes to discuss. A big ‘thank you’ to everyone at Bethel House.
