We offer a safe, comfortable and homely setting that enables women to focus on their continued recovery and transition back into a successful and more independent lifestyle – with the advantage of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) support available from Cygnet St Teilo House.

Located over 3 floors, the service has 6 en-suite bedrooms with spacious communal living areas including lounges, dining room, kitchen, accessible bathroom as well as a lovely garden with space to relax or socialise.
