Springkell House in Hindhead is a Victorian building retaining many original features despite being extensively and sympathetically refurbished, adapted and equipped recently to provide the comforts and care required by present day living. Standing in its own well landscaped grounds, overlooking the Golden Valley, close to the delightful “Devils Punch Bowl”, our location encourages our residents to take full advantage of the air purity of “little Switzerland” and the nearby National Trust land.
