The development enjoys excellent communal facilities including a home owners lounge, laundry, scooter store and attractive landscaped gardens arranged in a courtyard fashion in the centre of the development. There is also the excellent guest suite widely used by visiting family and friends for which a small charge of £25 per night applies.
It's so easy to make new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life at Brook Court; there are always plenty of regular activities to choose from including; coffee mornings, games and quiz nights, pub lunches, themed events and occasional organised trips.
