Visiting a loved one who has moved into a retirement village should feel welcoming, comfortable, and unhurried. For many families, an important question is whether they can stay overnight and spend meaningful time together rather than making a short visit.
At Links View, family visits are seen as an important part of community life. Residents remain closely connected to the people who matter most to them, and the village has been designed to make those visits as relaxed and enjoyable as possible.
Whether you are travelling from further away or simply want to spend more time together, Links View offers options that allow families to stay close and create special moments with their loved ones.

Links View provides a dedicated Guest Suite for visiting family and friends who would like to stay overnight. The suite overlooks the beautiful Old Links Golf Course, offering a peaceful and scenic setting for your stay.
The Guest Suite includes twin beds, a private shower room, and a small kitchenette equipped with a fridge, kettle, and microwave. Everything is prepared before your arrival, so the room is ready and comfortable when you arrive.
Having a guest space within the retirement village means you can spend more time with your loved one without the need to travel back and forth. It creates the opportunity for relaxed visits, shared meals, and meaningful conversations that might otherwise feel rushed.
Guest Suite availability may vary, so it is always best to arrange your stay in advance.

Spending time together often revolves around food, and Links View makes it easy for families to share meals with residents.
Visitors are welcome to join their relatives for lunch in the village restaurant. Residents can simply reserve a place for you ahead of your visit and choose from the available menu options. There is a small additional charge for guest meals, but it allows families to enjoy the dining experience together without needing to leave the village.
Sharing a meal in a relaxed environment helps visits feel natural and social, allowing families to enjoy quality time without worrying about planning or travelling elsewhere.

For many families, the ability to stay nearby can transform the visiting experience. Instead of fitting everything into a short visit, you have the freedom to spend time talking, walking around the village, or simply enjoying each other’s company.
This approach reflects the wider philosophy at Links View. Retirement living should not mean distance from family and friends. Instead, it should make it easier to stay connected while enjoying the benefits of a supportive and welcoming environment.

Moving into a retirement village does not mean stepping away from family life. At Links View, visits are encouraged and supported because they play an important role in residents’ wellbeing and happiness.
Whether you are staying overnight in the Guest Suite or simply joining your loved one for lunch, the aim is to make every visit comfortable, easy, and memorable.
