Mum was wonderfully cared for, couldn't have asked for anymore. She was very happy in her three and a half years she spent here. It gave her the independence she would have wanted. She was surrounded by what she has always known,; the beautiful countryside and made her final years very special. Thank
you to all staff and management at the Oaks.

Reply from Colin Inglis, Care Director at Middleton Hall Retirement Village

Thank you for taking the time to write this review and for your kind words. Everyone will have fond memories of your mum and her musical skills, which brought a smile to all. We are pleased that we were able to provide the care and support your mum required during her time at Middleton Oaks and I will share your positive comments with the care and management teams across Middleton Hall.

My mother required urgent respite care, with a view to moving into a long-term care facility.
All the Middleton Hall Retirement Village staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating to both my mother and myself as we dealt with such a large change to her lifestyle.
It was inevitably an emotional
time for her and the staff showed great empathy for her situation. They were also very good at offering me advice and guidance throughout.
The Middleton Hall facilities are very comprehensive, well-presented and of the highest quality.
I would recommend Middleton Hall very highly indeed.

Reply from Colin Inglis, Care Director at Middleton Hall Retirement Village

Thank you for your feedback and although your mother was only with us for a short period of time, we are pleased that this was a positive experience, and that you also received good advice and support from the team at the time. I will share your feedback with the Senior Management Team as well as the care team and would take this opportunity to wish your mother the very best in her new home.

I just needed a period of rest with everything taken care of following a period of acute care in the hospital. Middleton Hall provided exactly what I needed, privacy, peace and quiet, lovely surroundings, and very professional and caring staff. And delicious food which tempted even my jaded appetite.
Two weeks here and I feel able to take on the world again.

Middleton Hall is the pinnacle of professionalism and care. We moved our dad in towards the end of his life when his Alzheimer's became too much for us to be able to give him the care he needed and deserved. The staff at Middleton Hall were incredible. They were so patient and kind with him and with
us. We wish he could have enjoyed it longer as there were so many activities for him to enjoy and his room was beautiful with stunning views. Sadly, it was not to be, but we are greatly comforted knowing that he was cared for so well right to the end.

I would like to thank the staff at Middleton Hall Retirement Village for their excellent care and support shown towards my mum, during her recent week's stay. The staff were both professional and friendly - getting to know my mum very quickly, helping her to be independent and assisting her when she
needed help. During her stay, she enjoyed many of the activities on offer - a day trip, the knit and natter group, and especially the assisted swimming (which she loved!). The opportunity to mic and chat with new friends ensured she enjoyed her stay enormously and knowing she was safe and happy gave me great peace of mind. Another visit is already being planned.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My father was a resident in Middleton Oaks from November 2022 until very recently. The unique environment based on a family living model, of this amazing residence, meant that my father absolutely thrived during his time here. We had wonderful walks around the extensive grounds, he was able to continue
his hobby of swimming due to the spa facilities available and he took part in day trips out with the other residents, which he really enjoyed. His quality of life was enhanced by the enormous amount of care, attention and friendship from the excellent, well-trained staff and managers; he truly felt welcomed as a part of the Oaks family group. As an Alzheimer's sufferer, the small number of residents in his house was extremely beneficial; he was able to form good friendships with the residents and the fact that the same staff were based in each house meant that they became familiar to him, despite his Alzheimers. I cannot recommend Middleton Oaks, part of Middleton Hall, highly enough.

Reply from Colin Inglis, Care Director at Middleton Hall Retirement Village

Thank you for taking the time to write this review and for your kind and very positive words about the care your dad received and also of the team at Middleton Oaks. We believe that the smaller style setting has real benefits for those living with different forms of dementia, and it is always good to have this recognised and acknowledged by family members.

I could not rate Middleton Oaks more highly. Words such as outstanding, impeccable, professional and superb barely do justice to this facility, truly a ‘home’, that cared for my husband, and by extension his family, at a time of his greatest need. Combining professional knowledge with human warmth,
the carers were empathetic, proactive and knowledgeable. Anticipating my husband’s every need, they provided exemplary care based on a deep understanding of both his health and personal needs. When such a level of professionalism is situated in a beautiful building, surrounded by peaceful and extensive grounds, with facilities that would do justice to a first-class hotel, the combination is truly remarkable. I recommend Middleton Hall wholeheartedly and without reservation. Thank you!

I know it is a big decision when a family member requires 24-hour residential care and I am pleased that you found the teams involved, knowledgeable, professional and most of all, very caring in providing individualised care for your husband. We are all proud of the environment and facilities we have at Middleton Hall, and it is very kind of you to recognise these as well as the care provided.

My father was in care for the final 11 months of his life. There are no words to express my gratitude to everyone at Middleton Hall. Every single thing was outstanding. If there were 100 stars on the review I would give it 100 stars. I will not be able to say thank you enough times to every member of
staff who treated my father with kindness and dignity. The management was so professional. The room and the facilities were first-class. The food was outstanding. But I’ll keep coming back to the staff and tell anyone who is reading this that the staff are the most amazing people. I visited regularly and each time I left I knew that my father was safe. Choosing Middleton Hall was the best decision we made. We had looked at a number of homes but the beauty of Middleton Hall made it our number one choice. It has wonderful walks around the grounds. There are regular activities for every person there. The gym and the people who worked with my dad were fantastic. Thank you Middleton Hall.

Middleton Hall Retirement Village is set in a wonderful location in acres of immaculately maintained grounds.
I have personally been very grateful for the grounds and maintained paths as I have recently been pushing my brother out and about whilst the weather has been so pleasant.
We visit the chickens
and ducks housed in a lovely open fenced area and walk past other areas of the village chatting to staff and residents on the way.
The staff are all amazing, truly dedicated and nothing is ever too much bother.
As a family, we highly recommend this beautiful retirement village which caters for independent residents through to highly dependent residents.
The home even has a unique unit caring for those with dementia in such a special way.
We can highly recommend Middleton Hall Retirement Village which does have lots of activities available for those able to partake.
A big thank you from our family for the wonderful care my brother has received and is still receiving.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.911)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.911) out of 10 for Middleton Hall Retirement Village 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.911 for Middleton Hall Retirement Village is calculated as follows: ( (253 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 271 Ratings = 4.911

  • 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 Middleton Hall Retirement Village is based on 23 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 23 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.

Colin Inglis

Job Title: Care Director

Joined: 2021

I was honoured and excited to be join the team at Middleton Hall Retirement Village as their Care Director on March 1st 2021. With this role, comes the opportunity to shape, develop and influence how Middleton Hall’s care services move forward and fully believe in the vision and values that have been established.


One of the exciting things is that this is a completely new role at Middleton Hall and I am planning to use my knowledge and experience to add value to the important services that we provide to our residents and families as well as our care teams.


Having initially qualified as a Registered Nurse, I have spent all my career predominantly in the private healthcare sector working with some local smaller companies, as well as larger national care providers. During this time, I have developed my managerial and leadership skills working in different roles within the sector, from Care Home Manager, Regional Director and Operations Director, before joining Middleton Hall.


As Care Director at Middleton Hall, I am responsible for providing clinical and some operational leadership and with the support of the Co-owner team, am focused on Middleton Hall being established as a provider of high-quality care and wellbeing and developing a motivated and engaged care services team.


In my spare time, I enjoy watching all types of sports, particularly rugby and trying to play a bit of golf.

Whilst at Middleton Hall, she has studied a degree in Dementia Studies graduating with a first-class degree. She built on this with further dementia training by becoming a Positive Approach to Care (PAC) trainer with Teepa Snow.


Debby enjoys that every day at Middleton Hall Retirement Village is different. Working as part of a team that is inspired to make a difference to the lives of older people gives job satisfaction and enables us to ensure that residents live well. She enjoys keeping up to date with practice and ensuring everybody is on the same page so residents have the best quality care possible.


What makes working at Middleton Hall worthwhile? When you see a special moment between a member of staff and a resident when they really connect.
