Kind and helpful staff. Great having the bistro (helps getting auntie out of her room!). Exercise class and communion service are much appreciated. Food really good, lovely room and a beautiful garden (interesting to walk around).

My father spent two weeks at Bourne Wood Manor for respite care and had a wonderful stay. All staff were extremely friendly and caring and nothing was too much trouble. The care he received was fantastic and his room was delightful. The food was superb. We would highly recommend Bourne Wood Manor.

We visited our friend who has recently moved into Bourne Wood. We were so impressed! Every member of staff we met was friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble! We stayed for lunch with her - the food was really lovely and beautifully presented. The staff are amazing, the home is like a comfortable
hotel with thoughtful ‘homely’ touches. I’m so pleased our friend is being cared for in such a wonderful environment.
Thank you!

I have been made to feel very welcome by all staff at Bourne Wood Manor. It is a very comfortable setting with two lovely gardens and well looked after paths and other seating areas. My room is large with a patio to the pathways and an ensuite wet room is a welcome facility which means that I can shower
independently, although I am confident that I could call on assistance if required. The food is better than I expected and the menu is varied and interesting.

I cannot thank the staff at Bourne Wood Manor enough for their care, compassion and professionalism showed to my late father. Although he was only at the home two weeks before he died aged 92, the dedication of all the carers and staff was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble and we as a family
were made so welcome. The other residents were delightful and it was clear that they all enjoyed the activities and friendly, caring environment provided at Bourne Wood. We were able to be with my dad in the days before he died and the staff ensured that we had the time, space and support to ensure he had a lovely, peaceful death in a beautiful, calm environment with superb medical support. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anyone thinking about care for the elderly. I am certainly booking my place when the time comes! Thanks to all of you.

Reply from Cheryl Williams, Home Manager at Bourne Wood Manor Care Home

We looked at seven care homes. Some were like hospitals, some very traditional, but Bourne Wood is purpose-built, luxurious and more like a hotel. I am going to put my own name on the resident list! My mum improved during her respite period, proper administration of medication and three meals a day,
made a huge difference to her anxiety and demeanour. I can assure anyone that this is the place to be.

Mum is very happy here and has lived here for over four years and considers it her home. It's a lovely, friendly place and is getting back to normal after covid, which is lovely. We have just spent a lovely afternoon with Mum, celebrating the queen's jubilee. The staff worked very hard to give everyone
a good time.

Reply from Cheryl Williams, Home manager at Bourne Wood Manor Care Home

We're delighted your mum has settled into her new home here at Bourne Wood and we thoroughly enjoy spending time with her!

My Mother has been a resident at Bourne Wood Manor Care Home for just over two years and feels so at home that the thought of going back to her old flat has gone completely from her mind. The care of the staff is exceptional and nothing is ever too much trouble. It is so nice to hear my mother laugh
her way through the day with the staff. As a relative, I am always made to feel so welcome and the reassurance that my mother is happy, safe and well cared for gives me total peace of mind. Thank you, to you all.

My mother loves it here in Bourne Wood. The staff are genuinely caring and the purpose-built building and facilities are excellent. After 4 weeks of respite here my mother was no longer afraid of moving into care permanently and losing her perceived independence. She was finally able to admit that she
was struggling at home and a danger to herself. The stimulating activities, the tasty food, the social interactions with staff and residents, the respect and the feeling of safety she gets here more than compensated. She was actually really happy to return!

Reply from Cheryl Williams, Home Manager at Bourne Wood Manor Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an amazing review. We're so grateful for your appreciation. I shall ensure I pass on your feedback to the wider team. It really is our pleasure to care for your mother, she is wonderful!.

My mother is very happy at Bourne Wood Manor. All the staff are wonderful with her. They seem to genuinely enjoy what they do. They are so patient, kind and thoughtful. There is a lot of laughter!
My mother is very fussy with her food and she loves the food. My sister and I went for lunch with my
mother and it was excellent, as good as a restaurant! Thank you.

Mum has been a resident since the beginning of January. She was quite nervous and unsure about moving here, but has settled in really well over the 2 months. All of the staff have been very kind and supportive. Due to this, Mum is becoming increasingly involved in the group activities that are put on
each day. She seems very happy interacting with all of the staff and residents.

Bourne Wood provides an excellent care setting with hotel standard accommodation. They do their utmost to tailor the care experience to the individual resident. Overall the level of service is excellent and my uncle is as happy as he can be in a care setting.

Fantastic purpose-built home with top-notch facilities and decoration. Management and all staff engage well with residents and visitors. Excellent entertainment program and purpose-built cinema. I am told (by my wife) that the food is very good and certainly there is an enthusiastic rush at meal times!
I believe a little short-staffed but am ensured that a strategy is in place to rectify it.

My dad arrived at Bourne Wood in February 2018, it became his home as my mum passed away in 2019. Since he arrived he has had excellent care over more than three years. I was away on holiday when my dad passed away. The staff were amazing with communication to both myself and my son. As well as now
missing my dad I am also missing going in and chatting with staff. They have become like family!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.700)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.700) out of 10 for Bourne Wood Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.700 for Bourne Wood Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (295 Excellents x 5) + (117 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 416 Ratings = 4.7

  • 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 Bourne Wood Manor Care Home is based on 35 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 35 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.

Hello, my name is Annie Russell, and I am the Client Service Manager here at Bourne Wood Manor.


I studied at Godalming College, where I completed A-levels in Sociology and Hospitality. Through my studies, I developed strong customer service skills and consistently achieved high targets. My educational background has given me a solid foundation in understanding people and meeting their needs effectively.

This experience has been deeply impactful and has equipped me with the qualities needed to be a trustworthy and compassionate person to speak to. It has also fuelled my passion for providing the best possible care and support to residents and their families.


In my free time, I enjoy spending quality moments with my friends and family. We love going on new adventures, whether it is exploring new places, trying out new activities or simply enjoying each other's company.
