I went to Lynden Hill Clinic to recover from a total hip replacement and was there for 12 days. The care I received was superb. From the warm welcome, to the excellent nursing care, the catering staff and the wonderful physio team ensured I left well able to cope with home life. The two physio sessions a day are the key to rehabilitation. The attention to detail and encouragement combined with practical measures such as practice on the stairs, walking outside, and upping the difficulty of sessions as mobility improves was a major factor in my recovery from surgery. If I have to have my other hip replaced, my first phone call will be to Lynden Hill to book myself in again!

I thought the rehab sessions were the best I’ve had, and made the sessions I had after my last knee operation seem totally amateur. The treatment was very personal, considerate and aimed at getting a long term successful outcome. The whole team - particularly Rachel and Emerson who I worked with - are also really nice, supportive, friendly, whilst getting you to push for the best results. Totally recommend.

I have just spent 10 days here post total knee replacement operation. I can't thank or praise them enough for their care and attention, & the physio sessions were a huge part of my recovery. I would never have made the progress I did without them. My room was lovely, the food was fresh & well presented & catered for whether you wanted a full meal or a sandwich. I am so so pleased I chose to go to Lyndon Hill, & my family were happy that I was being looked after & helped on the road to recovery. Nothing was too much trouble. I have to have my other knee done in not to distant future so am already planning to return there after that operation. I highly recommend. Thank you to all the staff who were so kind & helpful & tolerant.

I attended Lynden Hill Clinic after my hip replacement surgery, I was happy to go as they had looked me very well after my first hip replacement. Incredibly, it was even better. The kindness of the staff, the lovely surroundings and care and concern for your welfare was unsurpassable. I would particularly like to mention Sophie who was very helpful after I discovered when I got home that I had left all my valuables in the safe! So not only is the care very good, you don’t have to worry about security either.

I was recommended here by a friend for immediate post operation rehab following my full left knee replacement surgery. I was picked up directly from the hospital and the clinic liaised with the nurses at the hospital, as I had to stay an extra day before I could be transferred. Fantastic driver and a lovely welcome, when I arrived on the Sunday. Physio is twice a day Monday to Saturday, plus there is hydrotherapy too (I couldn’t use as I couldn’t get my wound wet). The physio team are superb and gave me such confidence in a week with astounding improvement. I am so pleased I booked here, as it would have been impossible to keep up the physio intensity at home and having someone pushing you and showing you the way immediately after op in my view is vital. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is included and the last two can be eaten in room or in the dining room. Menu changes daily and is delicious. Mention should also be given to the nursing and cleaning staff who could not do enough for me during my stay. Lovely people. Many patients are here following hip operations, so were a little older than me, but this place is great for those in their 40s, 50s and upwards. Physio is vital for young and old post major op, it’s worth spending tome and money on your recovery. Thank you Shirley and the team at Lynden Hill.

I spent a wonderful week at Lynden Hill, recuperating from a hip operation. The nursing & physiotherapy staff were beyond fabulous - kind, professional & very patient. I'd also like to thank the catering & admin staff too - nothing was too much trouble for them. I'd recommend Lynden Hill in a heartbeat.

I recently spent a week at Lynden Hill following a full hip replacement. I cannot find the words to express my satisfaction, praise, gratitude to every single member of staff. The facilities are outstanding, the individual care and concern exceptional, the physios - and I had three different ones - superlative, the food worthy of a Star! Nothing was too much trouble. I could go on. I'm due for a new knee next so I'll be back. Thank you!

I recently underwent a full knee replacement and I have to say, given my busy work schedule and being fortunate enough to have medical insurance I paid very little mind to the operation or its connotations. I heard my surgeon say it might be good if you go into a rehab facility for ‘a few days’ after the operation. Accommodation / Health Carers / Nurses: So we researched and booked into the Lynden Hill Clinic. Needless to say, 3 days after my surgery I arrived at this beautiful country house near Reading and I realised the operation that I had gone through was not a 3 day rehab, more like 2-4 months! I arrived and I was in a pretty miserable state but after being there for 2-3 Days, the genuine and caring energy I received from the staff across the board really changed my mindset. Not only did they counsel me on the nature of the rehab I was starting my journey on but they also gave me a lot of much needed motivation to get down to the job in hand. I ended up staying there for nearly 3 weeks and have had some form of engagement with most members of staff during this time. All of whom are unequivocally some of the most caring, kind and genuine people I’ve met. The nursing staff, a lot of whom have been there for a very long time, were excellent and clearly dedicated to their patients' recovery and comfort. They all had that good old British empathetic bedside manner that you don’t get anywhere else (certainly not in the US where I was based for years) . All in all, the rooms were spotlessly clean and very hygienic. The room I had was a good size, airy with great country views. Physiotherapy / Rehabilitation: The physical therapy team went above and beyond. What was most impressive to me during my time was that even though I had one or two dedicated personal therapists, the entire team was in the loop and aware of my limitations, abilities and requirements. Upon arriving home this week, my doctor and physical therapist were amazed at my progress. F&B: Although I didn’t interact with the other guests or eat in the dining rooms, they were beautifully laid out with a piano player in the evenings and looked very comfortable when patients visitors wanted to come and eat. There were a number of guests complaining about the food quality, but my response to them was how is the rehab? They said it was excellent. So I said, well I see they are ambitious with their F&B menus but I think you have to put this into perspective as to the primary reason why you are in the facility. If you take the time to read the menu, remind yourself you are in a rehabilitation centre (not at the Gordon Ramsay Restaurant at The Savoy). Manage your expectations, stick to the simple things from the menus and you won’t be disappointed. I think they were probably a tad ambitious with some of their dishes but on the whole I ate well. Forgive me for anyone I have forgotten as I can’t recall everyone's names, but big thanks to Deny, Sofi, Michelle, Josh, Agnieszka, Flavia, Rahul, Sara, Ann, Hussam, Emerson, Polly, Anna, Emma, Luis P, Luis S and the golf buggy chauffeurs. To end - I would 100% recommend your facility in the future, both to my surgeons rehab team and anyone I know who would need a clinic such as yours. JB

I have just spent a week at Lynden Hill following a partial knee replacement. I was apprehensive and feared it would not be geared to rehab, but just an old age home. How wrong I was, on meeting others, the question was knee or hip. The set up is amazing, physio of the highest standard twice a day, with views over the beautiful gardens. A golf buggy to take us to the physio. The nursing and care staff could not have been kinder and more helpful. Ice packs provided within seconds, medication explained. And the food was exceptional, an exceptional experience. Thank you to all, you have put me on the road to recovery.

I recently spent 2 weeks at Lynden Hill Clinic following surgery for a full hip replacement. In summary, I cannot recommend the clinic and its team highly enough. It is a truly wonderful place which professionally supported every aspect of my physical and psychological wellbeing post surgery for a speedy full recovery. I enjoyed every aspect of my stay. The physiotherapy team were simply brilliant and my thanks to them all, especially Annie and Rahul who took great care of me throughout my stay. The team provided twice daily physio and hydrotherapy sessions which were tailored to my specific needs and quickly gave me the confidence to be up and about in no time. All of the nursing staff were wonderful too ensuring 24 hour medical care to the highest standard. Huge thanks to the Clinic Manager Shirley and the admin team who made me welcome the minute I entered the front door. I must also call out the catering team who turned out the most delicious home cooked meals everyday throughout my stay. The clinic is set in beautiful grounds and I was fortunate to have a lovely room overlooking the gardens. I noted that many of the team have been at the Clinic for many years, clearly love their jobs and rightly take great pride in the care they provide. They are a wonderful exceptional team and I was sorry to say goodbye at the end of my two weeks. I cannot recommend and thank them all enough.
