All rooms are furnished to ensure your privacy and comfort with duvets, Freeview TV, free internet access, a small refrigerator, a bedside telephone (BT standard charges apply) and you will get a complimentary daily newspaper. The en-suite facilities have walk-in showers to facilitate bathing for patients whose condition makes it difficult for them to use a bath; this is particularly useful for patients in wheelchairs.
