The person I am visiting is very well cared for. The carers are very appropriately communicative with all persons.
They give choices at mealtimes.
Amazing place.
Could do with a few more chairs for rooms - for visitors.

I brought my aunt here two years ago and I cannot fault it in any way. She has been happy, well looked after and has enjoyed the last years of her life. The staff have always been delightful both to me and to my aunt. They keep me well informed and are always so kind. They actually truly care about
their residents, a rarity these days. The food is amazing, fantastic activities and I was able to video call my aunt weekly as I was living in Portugal! All I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Reply from Nikki Culleton, General Manager at Barchester Marriott House & Lodge

Thank you so much for your review, your aunt was resident ambassador and is truly missed by us all. With best wishes from Nikki and the team at Marriott House and Lodge.

Our 93-year-old mother moved to the residential lodge in January 2024 and since that time, we have seen great improvements in her physical health, well-being and happiness. The staff at Barchester Marriott House & Lodge maintain a professional, calm approach to their work which benefits all the residents.
The in-house chef cooks meals and all-day refreshments are delivered in healthy, sensibly sized portions, to a varied menu choice. Outdoor activities take advantage of the beautifully maintained gardens with plenty of spaces for quiet family get-togethers. Located at the old Westgate side of Chichester, it's only a short walk to the cathedral and city centre for shopping, restaurants and park visits. A gem of a care home in a fabulous location.

Reply from Nikki Culleton, General Manager at Barchester Marriott House & Lodge

Thank you so much for your wonderful review of our home. We take great pride in delivering exceptional care and comfort to all of our residents and friends/family. We are so pleased that you have noticed the improvement in your family member, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

My husband has been a resident in the Lodge for just over two years, and is very happy there. He is always treated with kindness, understanding and dignity. The team work tirelessly to meet his needs. Any request is always met with a smile and I feel part of 'the family' when I visit. I could not wish
for a better place to keep my husband safe and cared for. Thank you to the amazing team.

My mother, aged 91, was suffering from vascular dementia when she moved into Marriott House in December 2021. The management and staff immediately put our minds at rest and we knew that she would be in the best of hands. Over the next two and a half years until she passed away, she received the best
professional care combined with the utmost kindness and humour from every member of staff. As family members, we were always given the warmest of welcomes when we visited and were regularly kept up to date as to how Mother was doing.
It was comforting for the family to know that her last years were spent in such a caring environment and that she was happy and well looked after.
We have nothing but praise for Marriott House and the staff and would have no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone who is seeking the best of care for an elderly loved one.

Following a bad fall, my 90 year old mother was admitted for respite care. We chose Barchester Marriott House and Lodge because we immediately felt the real focus on the care of the resident given by our initial meeting with the general manager and administration manager. Three weeks in we are seeing
a real improvement in Mum's recovery and could not be more pleased with the care and attention shown to Mum and all the other residents we see on our visits to the home. It takes real skill and dedication to manage a care home and we have found the general manager to be excellent in all aspects of the home, a really great team, also well supported by the administration manager who has years of experience and really cares.

Reply from Nikki Culleton, General Manager at Barchester Marriott House & Lodge

Good morning, thank you for your lovely review. It is a pleasure to support Mum with her recovery. I will ensure this review is shared with all the staff. Best wishes, Nikki.

I cannot describe how appreciative I am for the amazing treatment my mum received during the last couple of months of her life.
She was treated with pure dignity and respect, and I was welcomed every day, being looked after just as much as she was.
If it wasn't for the manager and the great team
at Marriot House, my mum's end-of-life care would've been something I can't even think about.
The honesty and integrity showed, not only with my mum but with all the residents.
It didn't feel clinical and felt like home.
The support I received all the way through was amazing. They were with me through all the emotional roller coaster.
I will be forever grateful.

Reply from Nikki Culleton, General Manager at Barchester Marriott House & Lodge

Thank you for your lovely review; it was our pleasure to care for your Mum in the last months of her life. Mum was a special individual and is sadly missed by us all. I will ensure your comments are passed on to the whole team. Sending you all our love from all of us at Marriott House and Lodge.

My father spent the last four months of his life at Barchester Marriott House & Lodge. He passed away this week. There are not enough superlatives to express the quality of care I witnessed. Staff were so kind to Dad, going the extra mile/above and beyond on numerous occasions. He told me every visit
that he felt cared for and safe. Every member of staff from housekeeping, named nurses to health care assistants treated my father with dignity and compassion. We felt supported as a family when Dad passed. The general manager leads by example and has a first-class team who seem to enjoy coming to work - camaraderie amongst staff was palpable. The human touch was evident on so many occasions with a warm welcoming smile or a hug as Dad became more frail.


I believe Marriott House is an exemplar in so many aspects from quality of care to supporting relatives. Thank you all for making my dad’s stay as comfortable as possible.


Reply from Nikki Culleton, General Manager at Barchester Marriott House & Lodge

Thank you for your kind words, it was our pleasure to care for your father. He was loved by all of us at Marriott House and Lodge and will be sadly missed. I will pass on your comments to the team. Thank you.

Thank you for a fun and entertaining afternoon at the ' Hobby Horse Ascot Race Meet', which we were invited to attend with Mum. It was lovely to see so many of the residents spectating all around the course, waving flags and encouraging riders in each of the races. The staff were a real credit and great
sports, participating in their own right and assisting residents who were up for joining in. Cups of tea followed and a sing song too. What a fabulous way to spend an afternoon, how lucky your residents are.

Reply from Nikki Culleton, General Manager at Barchester Marriott House & Lodge

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.909)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.909) out of 10 for Barchester Marriott House & Lodge 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.909 for Barchester Marriott House & Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (262 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 285 Ratings = 4.909

  • 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 Barchester Marriott House & Lodge is based on 24 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 95 registered maximum number of service users is 19, which has been reached with 24 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.
