Finding a care home for my 97 year old sister near her own home was not an easy task but the standards and ratings shown on the internet were excellent and it was a great location. The cosy and homely feel to the place was welcoming and the staff were so helpful and caring. I really felt that my sister
could not have been in better hands and I was impressed by the communication between the staff. When I phoned to make enquiries, the person I spoke to knew all about my sister and didn't need to waste time going to find out - just like a family. I would definitely recommend this home (and that's what it was) to anyone wanting somewhere for a relative to be cared for in a sensitive and respectful way.

Mum recently moved into Manor Cottage and has been supported so well to settle in. The staff all seem caring friendly and helpful and have an understanding of Mum's needs.
They are always responsive to any concerns or worries and resolve these quickly.
It is good you can visit whenever you like and
stay for meals as well if you wish.
I would recommend Manor Cottage as a home for people to live in.

I must say it is tip-top. They are caring considerate and kind whenever you ask the staff for anything or to do anything. The home is always neat and tidy lots of activities and most of all if I needed to go in a home I would choose Manor Cottage.

My mum has been a resident of Manor Cottage since July 2019. I was independently caring for Mum whilst also working full-time and looking after a family of my own. During that time, my mum's safety was my biggest priority but I also was very sceptical about moving her out of her home. Once my Mum moved
in, every worry was immediately put to rest. The team at Manor Cottage has been nothing short of amazing. They are kind and compassionate people who take great pride in what they do but they also perform their job roles to an impeccable standard. In the 5 years, my Mum has been a resident although her health has declined; her happiness and well-being have improved massively. The quality of life she has within the home is something we could have never provided her with and seeing her thrive in this environment has been a massive gift to our family. I could not recommend Manor Cottage highly enough to anyone looking for care for a family member.

My brother has been a resident at Manor Cottage for nearly 2 years. He is very comfortable living at the home, there are plenty of activities if he wants to take part. All the staff are very professional and lovely. We were lucky to get a place for him at the time.

The staff at Manor Cottage went above and beyond to provide a special day for Mum's birthday. We had a delicious lunch and a beautiful birthday cake. Mum was so happy.
The care the staff give to my mother is excellent and it is always delivered with consideration and compassion. Well done and keep
up the wonderful work.

My Mother-in-Law has now been at Manor Cottage for 3 months and her care has been great since the day she went in on respite care. Every member of staff is friendly and it is obvious to see that they have good relationships with the residents. I would also like to say thank you to the staff that you
don't see of which there are many! The daily updates on social media keep you up to date with each day's activities. Communication is good and the staff are very open to emailing or phoning at any point if you have any questions. A Doctor is also on hand weekly to alleviate any concerns and to keep an eye on the medication etc. My Mother-in-Law seems very content here.

I first visited Manor Cottage in early 2023 at a time when we thought that Mum may need to move into residential care. I visited a number of homes, and Manor Cottage was firmly on the list of possible places where Mum could live. While the building has seen better days, it is clean and, above all else,
I really liked the atmosphere. It was, therefore, one of the first choices this year when it became obvious that Mum could no longer live at home, even with support. She loved it when she visited, and moving in proved to be very straightforward.
Mum has settled in well. The staff are lovely, Mum is very well cared for, and there is an impressive range of activities for all the residents. With a daily schedule, there is no time to be bored. Manor Cottage has a good relationship with a local GP, which is very reassuring and they have already reviewed and amended Mum's medication. It is a great start, and we are confident that this is the right place for Mum.

An excellent care home tailored to individual needs. My mother has lived there for nearly a year, she settled very quickly, as the staff understood her needs very quickly and very well and has thoroughly enjoyed living at Manor Cottage. There are lots of activities and stimulation on a daily basis for
the residents.

Mum is very happy here and is looked after by friendly caring staff. Communication is excellent. We are kept fully informed about Mum's needs, care and the home's programme of activities etc. Mum has been a resident now for over 3 years and in all that time we have never had any reason to doubt the
love and care Mum receives.

The whole team at Manor Cottage deserve every credit for their kindness, devotion and empathy with regards to all they do. Caring as a profession is no mere sinecure. The staff team made a huge difference to my mother in her final months. The small details in their care made every difference.
The staff
were all a great support and each one a kind and calm presence in all their dealings with my mother and the extended family and friends who came to visit her. The whole experience was one of excellence, care and a deep understanding of what is important to make a difficult situation not only tenable but enjoyable. No praise can do justice to the staff and ethos at The Manor Cottage. A quite unique haven and a care home, where the abstract of 'home' is very much to the fore. Everyone at The Manor Cottage deserves my thanks and praise.

My dear brother-in-law spent his final year at Manor Cottage and we as a family and he himself were extremely pleased with his support and care. Good food, flexibility and great support to family also. It was a definite home from home with the emphasis on care. His end of life was managed extremely
well with support for all the family. He was treated with love and the greatest of respect always. We couldn't have wanted a better care home for him and will always be extremely grateful for everything they did.

My mum was a resident at Manor Cottage for nine years and regarded it as her home. The staff are caring, compassionate and treated her with dignity and respect. They encouraged her to be as independent as possible for as long as she was able to. She loved her room overlooking the garden and enjoyed
seeing the different seasons from the comfort of her chair by the window. The food was first-rate home-cooked and the home spotlessly clean. She joined in the activities and especially loved the exercises, entertainment and outings. She had her wish to stay at Manor Cottage till the end and received excellent end of life care with her classical music playing in the background.

My sister lived at Manor Cottage for about 4 years and suffered progressive dementia until her passing recently.
The constant care and attention of all staff was a tribute to their professionalism and dedication to all of the residents. The resident's entertainment was second to none, and many other
features including for example, Christmas pantomime and other outings. I never had a minutes worry about my sister in their care, they always made us family members very welcome.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.886)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.886) out of 10 for Manor Cottage Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.886 for Manor Cottage Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.886

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Manor Cottage Residential Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
