Mull Hall has had an impressive refurbishment with some wonderful spaces for the residents to enjoy. As well as the lounges, there is a new conservatory which is a wonderful space to relax with loved ones, who are welcome at any time. In the dining room, residents enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals from a menu which is very much tailored to the home, from roast dinners with all the trimmings to freshly baked cakes for afternoon tea.

With views over the stunning Cromarty Firth, the home is in a beautiful rural location. And outside, there is a children’s play area in the large gardens. During the summer the residents loved growing their own herbs in the garden for the chef to use in the kitchen.   

The staff are passionate about residents playing a very active role in how their home is run, from choosing the décor to providing feedback on everything from the activities to the menu.

Many of the team, including the home manager, have been with the home for over ten years, giving Mull Hall that warm, family feel. Two of the team have won National Care Awards for their devotion to enriching the lives of their residents.

The home is thriving, with so many activities to enjoy and trips out in the minibus to places the residents love to visit. From pub lunches, barge trips and community lunch clubs, to church visits, shopping and garden centres.

School children regularly pop in, treating the residents to musical performances, and a mobile hairdresser visits for appointments in the home's salon. There is a monthly church service in the home, and regular animal visits with Therapet. And the home also has two pet rabbits, Jack and Victor!

And there is a private family and friends Facebook page, where loved ones can see what the residents have been enjoying doing, even if they can’t be there in person.

My mum has settled into Mull Hall very well. The staff have been kind and supportive from initial meetings to discuss the possibility of her moving in and this has continued with the support she receives from the staff day to day.
The staff are always ready to listen to any concerns and make sure
that they do the very best for every resident. The activity coordinators provide a variety of fun events to keep the residents entertained. They are positive and cheerful and always welcoming to us as a family when we visit Mum. I highly recommend Mull Hall.

We are very happy with the care and attention given to my mum-in-law in Mull Hall. She is very happy and contented there and has made new friends. It has given us peace of mind to know she's well looked after by the very caring staff. Communication is also very good too.

My mum became a resident just before Christmas after spending 4 months in hospital. All the staff have been terrific - very welcoming and friendly and working really well as a team to make my mum's transition as easy as possible. I have been impressed with the facilities and witnessed on numerous occasions
the love, care and respect everyone is treated with - there is a lot of fun and laughter too. Visitors are made to feel very welcome and the atmosphere is very warm, friendly and nurturing. It definitely has a strong community spirit when time is taken to get to know residents and their families. I have been so impressed and cannot thank the staff enough for their dedication, humour, skills and care.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Mull Hall Care Home

The staff have been welcoming and friendly on my visits and although understandably busy, seem attentive and caring to the residents and to know them personally and as individuals and take time to speak and interact with them. This helps create a warm and homely atmosphere. The decorations and care
paid to enhance the environment over the festive period were lovely touches, and the extra activities included music events. I have been able to eat a meal (very good food lovingly prepared) with my Mum or have a cup of tea together on occasion, which is very much appreciated. There are quiet and calm areas to sit as well as a range of activities in the larger room. The manager and deputy manager both took the trouble to introduce themselves to us and have proved very approachable. I have had a very favourable impression overall and am grateful to the team at Mull Hall.

Mum moved into Mull Hall Care Home in mid-December, having previously been in hospital over three months, awaiting a place in a care home. Prior to her getting her place, I had had the opportunity to visit Mull Hall, see the facilities and chat with the assistant manager. It was a very helpful visit
and I was impressed by the staff who I saw there, their interaction with the residents and the facilities. Along with the activity programme.
Mum has settled well into Mull Hall with a nice bedroom which she has been able to customise with some belongings from her former home.
During my visit to Mum, I have been impressed with the friendliness of the staff and the obvious care they take of those who live there. Mull Hall has a positive atmosphere and I am really happy that Mum was able to stay there.

My dad moved into Mull Hall Care Home on the 23rd of December and has settled surprisingly quickly. The staff have been amazing and have made a very difficult and upsetting time a lot easier for both me and my father. Leaving your loved ones to the care of others is one of the hardest things you will
ever do but knowing he is happy makes it so much easier. All the staff are so lovely and caring and spend time getting to know the residents. The care I have witnessed, so far, has been heartwarming. In the short time he has been there, he has already had a few medical concerns and the staff have kept me updated at all times. A great team.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Mull Hall Care Home

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We're so pleased to hear that your dad has settled in so quickly and that he feels so happy at Mull Hall. The team will be touched to read your kind words and so pleased to hear how supported you have both felt during this period. We understand how difficult it can be when a loved one moves into a care home and we're delighted the team have been able to offer you comfort and reassurance. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Friendly staff, caring and take care of each resident. Dignified and thoughtful, getting to know the residents, their likes and dislikes. Excellent menu and happy to offer anything else the residents would prefer. Place is always welcoming, spotlessly clean and inviting.

My mum became a resident on the 27th December 2024, the staff have been so accommodating in helping her feel at home. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are very caring, kind and compassionate. Their level of care is above and beyond anything I was expecting from a care home but they go that
extra mile.
The food is excellent, activities are great, lots of day rooms where you can join in with others or have a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the beautiful views.
Bedrooms are large and spacious and well thought out, the ability to take any items from home there is a huge benefit to making it feel like your own wee sanctuary.
As a daily visitor, I certainly could not find fault with any aspect of the care provided, the food, activities or the home in general. Just a delightful place and people and a huge weight off my mind knowing my mum has such a high level of care being given.

I've been going to Mull Hall for over 2 years now and I can emphasise my gratitude to the staff and management, for the kindness and warmth shown to my wife and myself. Mull Hall is a care home I would recommend to anyone, everyone is made to feel welcome and the staff make you feel at home.

Having observed my mother for several weeks leading up to her passing on 23/01/24, I was in awe of the professional care that I witnessed my mother receiving from all levels of staff from cleaners to management and their efforts to make my mother as comfortable as possible through such a hard time.
At all times, my mother was treated with love, affection and dignity to levels that were beyond belief.
This care was also extended to all of my family and this totally left us in awe of the carers who are more like angels. Thank you.

Staff are brilliant. They take really good care of everyone. I was going to ask them if the visiting minister could visit Mum in her room. It was all arranged before I even asked as they had picked up on Mum saying she wished she had gone to church. Mum is not able to be up and about now but they make
time to see her and chat and meet her needs.

Mum is a long-term resident at Mull Hall and has had exceptional care the whole time she has been there. Mum has dementia which has steadily deteriorated over time but her care has always been excellent and completely appropriate for the stage of her illness. The staff are wonderful and we are very
very thankful for the care they give to our mum.

I have found Mull Hall to be a warm, friendly, caring environment. The staff are always welcoming and willing to help in any way they can. I feel they go above and beyond, which I have no doubt, is reflected in Mum’s ease of settling in. She’s been a resident for 18 months now and considers Mull Hall
her home.

I do not visit too often due to living far from the home but when I do I always feel welcome. Mostly Mum and I spend time in her room catching up but I am aware of activities for residents who want to join in. There always seems to be a relaxed atmosphere. If I have any concerns or need to share my
views of how Mum is I feel I can approach a staff member.
For relatives, they have a bimonthly meeting which you can attend in person or remotely which is helpful. A digital group for peer support. They are always keen to hear any suggestions for improving or developing the service they provide.

My review relates to the entire time my wife has been in your care. I am more than satisfied with the care she receives. I have found your staff to be most attentive to the residents and indeed to visitors as well. The love they give and the dignity they afford the residents are most heartwarming. I
think most families of loved ones appreciate that the jobs your staff do are not easy, yet they go about their duties with a smile and a kind word for all. May I say that I am most impressed with the young carers. Some are barely out of their teens. Some perhaps are still teenagers, yet they perform their duties with great empathy for their charges.
I would certainly recommend Mull Hall, in fact, if I find myself, as well I may, in need of going into a care home, I pray that it will be Mull Hall.

I cannot praise this team highly enough. Every single member of staff in absolutely every area of work gives such care, love, assurance and understanding to each and every resident. More than that, the consideration, friendship and thoughtfulness to family members is second to none. Mum has been unwell
over Christmas and New Year so we shared Hogmanay with her in her room. We witnessed elderly people having such fun - singing, enjoying drinks and snacks whilst wishing each other Happy New Year! We will book in next year!
Well done to you all.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.840)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.840) out of 10 for Mull Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.840 for Mull Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (259 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.84

  • 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 Mull Hall Care Home is based on 26 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 26 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.
