Historical buildings and pleasant gardens

Whitestone Lodge is a delightful blend of modern times with the past. The house originally began life as two separate houses that were built in 1885 and owned by the Earls of Derby. One of the houses had remained as a private residential property, whilst the other house eventually became a local landmark as the Roby Guest House.

In 1987, the present owners completely refurbished the premises to create a high quality establishment providing a relaxed and happy home in a safe and secure environment for vunerable elderly citizens.

The home has an extensive and very well maintained garden at the rear, which with its liberal planting of mature evergreen shrubs, trees and borders provides a pleasing vista throughout the year. Smoking is permitted in designated areas.
