  • Hopton Cottage Care Home, Mirfield
Hopton Cottage Care Home in Huddersfield achieved ‘Outstanding' in responsive care and ‘Good’ in the other four categories during the last inspection in June 2019.

The staff at Hopton Cottage Care Home believe that everyone's parent or relative should feel excited to go to their new home. Staff believe in giving residents a fun new life as they start a brand new chapter.

The team provides first-class, 24-hour residential care in a purpose-built home.

Hopton Cottage has three distinct neighbourhoods which enable them to best look after a person's exact needs whether they are: mentally sound, starting to be forgetful or for those who have more advanced dementia.

Hopton Cottage is in the perfect location, just 14 mins by car, from Huddersfield or Dewsbury. It is in a pretty part of Mirfield, surrounded by beautiful countryside.

The team at Hopton Cottage believe that your family member should be able to enjoy their own private luxury cottage room with en-suite shower, TV, DVD player, phone and internet access, access to a private garden, delicious food home-cooked daily by the chefs with locally sourced ingredients.

The home provides all residents with spacious and comfortable lounge areas and supports and encourages dignity and independence and offers a large program of events and fun activities to keep active and social according to individual tastes.

At Hopton Cottage, your relative can start to enjoy life again with the safety of experienced and qualified staff on hand 24-hours a day.

The staff team at Hopton Cottage believe that when your elderly relative moves into a care home instead of waiting, their enjoyment and quality of life improves a lot. It's Hopton Cottage's opinion that residents live longer too because their spirit is lifted. Staff get residents eating well again, make sure they take all their tablets each day and catch health issues early on, so more can be done to treat them.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother moved to Hopton Cottage at very short notice after she ended up in a very poor care home, (which had the same CQC rating of GOOD as Hopton Cottage, so those inspection ratings don't tell you everything). The director visited mum immediately and was able to move her to Hopton the next day.
My mum was so well cared for by devoted staff teams. Every minor request was responded to immediately, from cups of tea, to radios, to fixing squeaky door closers. Even the electrician called her by her first name when he came to do a repair. My sister and I were given lunches ourselves whilst we were caring for mum - a godsend when we were stressed. Communication from the staff was updated daily. The end of life care was as good as any hospice. Mum's pain was expertly managed and titrated to be as gentle as possible. We will never be able to thank the staff enough for the deep caring and a fitting end to mum's life, when it could have been a terrible ending at the other home. Thank you so much.

Reply from Joseph Martin, Director at Hopton Cottage Care Home

Dear Rosalind, Thank you so much for your touching review. We have shared this review with our team and it has had a real impact. We are very lucky to have a committed and competent team who are motivated by helping others and achieving the kind of standards of care that we feel families deserve. To know we are helping real people in this way is truly heartwarming for us all. It was a pleasure looking after your mum and knowing you all as a family. Very best wishes from all at Hopton. The manager and team.

Mum sadly passed away three months after moving to Hopton Cottage Care, but in that brief time, she not only received the highest level of care I could have hoped for, she received genuine warmth and affection which I know meant a great deal to her. The staff were wonderful, nothing was too much trouble
and they showed high respect and interest in all dealings with Mum and family. I cannot speak more highly of Hopton Care, they made such a difference to Mum's last few months and also to family.

My mother has been a resident for 2 years. In that time I have had only praise for all aspects of her care. My mother was a 'picky' eater and we worried that food would be a problem. I have never heard her complain and according to the staff she eats without any problems. All members of staff treat
her with respect and will sit and chat. They will all discuss with members of the family if there are any issues or if they want to tell us of something mum has done. We, as a family, struggled with the idea of a care home for mum but we couldn't be happier that she is content where she is.

Reply from Ann-Maria Martin, Director at Hopton Cottage Care Home

Thank you for your really thoughtful review. We completely understand that a move into a care setting can be a complex decision raising a number of emotions for all concerned and we are committed in our aim to give reassurance to families and those living at Hopton Cottage that we are actually helping 'Mum or Dad have a fun new life'

My 97-year-old father stayed at Hopton Cottage Care Home for six months until his death in January of this year. In those six months he was given the best care the best support and all things that gave him good memories of his last months alive.
Hopton is a care home in every sense, if it's care for
a family member you are looking for look no further, you will have peace of mind.

My 80year old mum has been a permanent resident November 2016 following 6months of intermittent respite care.
Mum suffers from Dementia but as yet does not need the intense care of the onsite Dementia unite and therefore lives in the care side.


The home is like a 5-star hotel. Spacious, contemporary

furnished rooms with ensuite wet/shower room. Small private terrace looking onto the well cared for gardens. I have never had a minutes regret regarding mums care, everyone is kind, courtious, friendly and caring.
Good, well-prepared food (plenty of choice) and a wide range of activities.
As a relative, I also feel very well informed and included in all choices regarding mums care.

Hopton Cottage Care Home gave us assurance that the level of support, care and love would be given to our relative during his stay with them. Our uncle was admitted as an 'end of life' resident which made no difference to the management in investing equipment and staff hours to ensure dignity and comfort
was given around the clock. This also extended to the immediate family. We will forever be indebted to their kindness. Thank you.

Hopton Care Cottages provided respite care for my father - at a crisis point - the kindness we, as a family, encountered from all the staff and the care and kindness extended to Dad during his stay was excellent.
I have no reservations about recommending the care home nor in taking Dad back for additional

My mother has lived at Hopton for 7 months and is quite settled here. She gets on well with the staff.
She has a lovely en-suite room and has been allowed several pictures to decorate her room which the handyman has erected for her.
There are a lot of activities available for my mother to join in.
I
am always made very welcome when I visit.
It is a weight off my mind to know she is happy and well cared for.

Excellent home, very comfortable, residents have plenty of entertainment and want for nothing. Food is first class with a good choice that fit all needs. Staff are well trained polite and seem to really care about their residents. As family members, we are always made to feel welcome and any questions/queries
are answered and nothing seems to be a problem for them, this is a true home from home.

A lovely care home with well trained, helpful and pro-active staff. A lot of thought is given to the home's design and its aspiration to be a place where people live (rather than going to be looked after) is reflected in the way the residents are cared for. They are respected by the team, their various
and differing needs are allowed for and met.
My mum enjoyed her time here and as a family, we felt she was cared for in every way.

It is a very hard decision to put your mum into a care home but choosing Hopton Cottage Care Home was perfect for mum and us. The home is beautifully clean through out with lovely rooms and bright spacious lounges and dining areas.
The laundry service is very well run too. The food is excellent and
there are various activities for residents to take part in if they wish. It was lovely to see mum having a social life again (at age 91) and especially when singers came in, mum would be singing along happily.


The care given by the wonderful staff is amazing. Mum received so much love and affection which was very reassuring for us and so heartwarming to see. Visiting mum there was a real pleasure and the warmth of the staff made us feel so welcome, it was like having an extended family.


Mum spent the last 16 months of her life there and was treated with respect and dignity and much loved to the end.


Many thanks to everyone at Hopton Cottage Care Home for looking after mum.

Absolutely fantastic!


Recently my Great Aunt (82) who lives alone had a knee replacement. Before the operation, it was apparent that she would need care before returning home. We contacted the manager who runs the care home, he was so accommodating, managing to get my Great Aunt a room for as long

as she needed it. Giving her much needed peace of mind.


Following the operation, she moved in and stayed for 3 weeks (a week longer than planned as she liked it so much)!
She was really happy with the care she received from all the staff. The manager and all his team went out of their way to make her stay a really happy one. Nothing was too much trouble.
The food was superb, the entertainment great and she made new friends.
The level of care was outstanding.
The rooms are really nice, lovely furnishings, ensuite facilities and patio areas.
They coordinated everything, even settling her back into her own home.
As a relative visiting, I was made to feel like it was my home too. A lovely environment that she'll miss.

The staff of Hopton Cottage Care Home made my late grandma's time here an extremely happy one. As a family, we are very grateful for the fine work that all the staff did for my grandmother. The comfort, the love, the help, the dignity, the peace that they gave my grandmother and the other that they

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.920)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.920) out of 10 for Hopton Cottage Care 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.920 for Hopton Cottage Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (240 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.92

  • 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 Hopton Cottage Care Home is based on 22 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 22 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.
