Review of Lonsdale Mews from Susan B (Sister of Resident) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My sister came here initially for respite after her husband passed away in 2023 and then moved in permanently. There is a very happy, caring and fun vibe as soon as you come into the building. The staff are all so caring and fully understand each individual resident's wishes and needs. They offer care but also encourage my sister to be as self sufficient as she can be giving her, her own space. There is a programme of activities to do each day. Outings to local garden centres, theatres and so much more. The garden is so tranquil but always in use. The food is amazing and there's always a celebration going on with the Prosecco flowing. The ensuite rooms are of a good size. In short, this is a wonderful, wonderful place. As I live 250 miles away, Lonsdale Mews and all who work there give me the peace of mind that she is 100% loved and she's well cared for. I cannot recommend this care home enough. Simply thank you, doesn't cover how grateful I am. If you are unsure, a visit is a must.

Review of Lonsdale Mews from Rachel B (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Lonsdale Mews is a fantastic care home. From the minute we were shown round we were impressed and we are still impressed every day by the excellent care Dad is receiving. There is a lovely vibe about the place and being able to go to the cafe is wonderful. The rooms are decorated beautifully, in many ways it feels more like a hotel than a care home, and the gardens are stunning and lovely to sit in. Dad has put on quite a bit of weight since starting there and that's been due to the fact he likes the food so much and is being looked after so well. There are many activities arranged and in fact it feels like something is always going on. We attended the recent Armed Forces Day where there was a band and that was great fun. Nothing is too much trouble and all the staff are really friendly and welcoming. I can't praise Lonsdale Mews enough! We are very grateful to everyone there.

Overall Experience
Mum has been at Lonsdale Mews for over 2 years now and the care and support continues to be first class. It is lovely when I visit and the staff always have a smile and are quick to provide an update on Mum. Dad also stayed at Lonsdale Mews until he recently died; the additional end of life care was exceptional and it was lovely that several staff members attended his funeral on their own time; that says so much. Since then everyone has been looking out for Mum and ensuring she is engaged with the fantastic activities and events on offer.

The home is very welcoming. Staff always friendly and willing to help with any questions I may have. Plenty of activities for residents should they wish to take part. Wonderful garden with lots of seats in the shade.

Overall Experience
I visited Lonsdale recently to see Mam and was again amazed with the quality of the facility and the professionalism of the staff. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, safe, and genuinely caring. The staff go above and beyond to treat residents with dignity, patience and compassion. The facility is spotless, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed to support the highest level of independence possible. Also, the security of the facility is very strong while remaining unobtrusive. Activities are engaging, meals are excellent, and communication with families is outstanding. It's clear that every team member is dedicated to providing exceptional care. I couldn't be more grateful for the support and peace of mind this wonderful community provides.
In summery, Lonsdale truly is a "Home-from-Home".

Review of Oat Hill Mews from Roger P (Son of Resident) published on 23 June 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
9 months since Mum arrived from one of the top 100 luxury care homes in England ... her physical health has improved considerably and her medication significantly reduced. Whilst dementia is a cruel, one-way street, it is lovely to see her improve in these ways. This is due to a combination of the building layout (having more separate rooms, with great staff from the management through to the care, housekeeping, kitchen and activity teams. Everyone is thoroughly welcoming and caring.

Review of Lonsdale Mews from Deborah S (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 May 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum stayed at Lonsdale Mews for two weeks of respite care, and from the very beginning the staff were lovely, caring, and highly professional. From showing us around, to planning her assessment and preparing everything for her stay, they made the whole process feel reassuring and well organised. The day she arrived was understandably difficult and emotional for all of us, but the staff welcomed her so warmly and made the whole experience far less stressful. We immediately felt she was in safe and capable hands. While I was away, they kept me informed of any issues, just as I had asked, which gave me great peace of mind.
My mum spoke so highly of everyone there and was constantly telling visitors how marvellous the staff were. I honestly can't thank them enough, because I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing she was settled, happy, and far less anxious than we had feared she might be. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness, care, and support shown to both my mum and our family.

Review of Lonsdale Mews from Peter J (Husband of Resident) published on 22 April 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
It was agreed that my wife could stay at Lonsdale Mews for respite and I have reflected on what a positive decision it was for both of us. From the first time we talked it through with staff and until the day the stay ended, it was a first class experience for both of us. The care, the personal touches and overall kindness is there for all to see and an atmosphere that is genuine and heartwarming. My wife was happy and settled and I also relaxed knowing that she was being cared for by staff who understood her needs. The most valuable thing that anyone can give is time and love and I feel fortunate that she received both in abundance.
Thank you to everyone.

Review of Oat Hill Mews from A P (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 14 April 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The family recently had to place my mum in law into care which was a very upsetting and daunting time. After initially placing my mum in law somewhere else we ended up having to move her urgently due to her needs. The staff at Oat Hill Mews made this a really easy decision for us. The management have been really helpful and the staff are absolutely lovely and really caring. Everytime we have visited from reception staff to the staff looking after the residents everyone is friendly and just lovely which gives us peace of mind as a family. My mum in law is safe, well looked after and is eating much more healthily than she was. The rooms and the whole home are so clean and well thought out. It is just a lovely lovely place with excellent care. They let our little doggies visit which is fantastic as she loves the doggies and our little doggie made quite a few new friends when she visited.
Thank you for looking after my mum in law and helping us navigate this difficult journey.

Review of Lonsdale Mews from Margaret W (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 March 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
It is hard to adequately express our gratitude to everyone at Lonsdale Mews. My Dad came to Lonsdale Mews for an initial 2 week respite period following a sudden decline in his mobility, recurrent falls and the death of my mother. Initially he was very frail, hardly eating , withdrawn and very resistant to the help and care that was offered. The wonderful staff showed great patience and compassion towards him and now a permanent resident, he is slowly returning to his old self. All the staff have been excellent in monitoring Dad, immediately acting on any health concerns and we get regular,detailed updates every time we visit. The staff have really taken the time to get to know Dad and the whole family, and their support of us all through some very challenging times has been wonderful. Lonsdale Mews is far removed from my initial preconceptions of a care home , with wonderful facilities, food and entertainment options but it is in their respect for the residents that they truly excel.

Review of Lonsdale Mews from Sarah S (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 March 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum has thrived at Lonsdale Mews since moving in nearly three years ago, following a difficult time after my father's passing. She often comments how lucky she is, how happy she in the home, how all the staff are so kind and helpful and thanks me for finding such a nice place. I second all those comments! The staff are friendly, welcoming, and keep me informed about Mum's wellbeing. The home is clean and beautifully furnished, and enjoying fresh cakes in the café and beautiful garden is a treat when I visit. The exceptional Lifestyle team provide at least two fun filled activities a day delivered with much enthusiasm and they've made sure all Mum's interests are catered for, they even took her riding and have arranged talks on birds as well as many art activities, music and singing. I can't recommend the home highly enough and I'm so glad we found it.

A wonderful environment for my father who needed respite care following pneumonia. Steve initially gave us a tour and we were impressed. He continued to impress from then on.

'I am walking unaided again' exclaimed our father just 3 days after arriving at Lonsdale Mews. He was flourishing in the wonderful caring community Lonsdale Mews is with its haute cuisine, airy private rooms, quiet lounges, buoyant staff and stimulating events programme. There is always a lovely, upbeat buzz about the place. Staff are clearly passionate and very expert professionals in their roles.

Review of Lonsdale Mews from Kim L (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 January 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother joined the Lonsdale family at the beginning of September 2025. She had been a widow for 27 years and had lived alone for the majority of those years. We were very gratified that she settled into her new home very quickly. I believe this was because of the very caring atmosphere promoted by the management and staff. She made new friends quickly and embraced the wonderful varied activities she was able to join in each day. Her room is large and cosy; she was able to bring smaller pieces of furniture from home to make it her own. The cleanliness and decoration of her room and ensuite is of a very high standard. My mother has a very good appetite and really enjoys the variety and choices at each mealtime.
Lonsdale is head and shoulders above all the other residential care homes we looked at for my mother. The professionalism and attention to detail is exceptional, the welcoming atmosphere when you arrive in reception is wonderful. There is no way you could not instantly relax and

Review of Lonsdale Mews from Simon E (Son of Resident) published on 29 December 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother is a resident and when she entered the facility in the early summer 2023, she was depressed and uncooperative, even hostile towards both immediate family as well as carers. The whole Lonsdale Mews Team got involved at every level delivering advice, support and both medical as well as personal care. My wife and I live abroad and were only able to visit in yearly and the visible change is quite astounding! Since 2023 my mother has blossomed and is a completely different person. She is now engaged, visibly happy and actively participates in the numerous activities, organised by the Lonsdale Mews team. When we visit we are made to feel immediately welcome and at home and our visits are always positive. My wife and I have the feeling that nothing is too much trouble and that all the staff are dedicated, happy, caring and truly love their jobs. ,
I will finish by simply saying - carry on the great work because what you are doing is exceptional in this day and age!

Overall Experience
Mum has been in the care home for almost three years. The carers and everyone who works at the care home seem really kind and caring, learning the names of the residents really quickly. (Heather, Shannon and Yasmin have been particular gems). The food is, I'm told, is usually pretty good (especially the pastries and cakes in the cafe!, which I can personally vouch for!) and there are events/ entertainments laid on for the residents most days, often two per day. The corridors and public spaces are wide and the rooms well designed with ease of mobility being to the fore.
If you have to move into a care home, there's a lot to be said for living in this one.

Review of Lonsdale Mews from Julie R (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 November 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Both my parents have been residents at Lonsdale Mews. We had to admit my mum and dad for respite very quickly on separate occasions. This was dealt with very promptly with great care and efficiency. I don't know what we would have done if this hadn't happened! My dad has now been a permanent resident for 2 years. I can honestly say that all members of staff are very caring and professional. They take an interest in the wellbeing of my dad and do not seem to just treat it as just a job. The coffee bar in reception is a definite hit. It's a great place to take your loved one for a chat, coffee and cake (made fresh daily!), it really doesn't feel like a care home, more like a hotel. Many activities take place around the home, and relatives are invited to join in.
Overall, this care home makes having your loved one cared for as pleasant as it can be in the circumstances!

Review of Lonsdale Mews from Bruce K (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 14 November 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I am the son-not-in-law of my partner's mother and a regular visitor to Lonsdale Mews. Sadly, over the last two years, 'Mum' has been a resident; both her physical and mental health have deteriorated; she has Alzheimer's, a very cruel disease. All the staff understand the challenges involved in dealing with people living with dementia. All their residents are treated with dignity and respect at all times, and choices are always offered, whether they may be about meals, what clothing to wear, or in which activities they wish to take part. The place is spotlessly clean, warm when it is cold outside, and furnished to good-quality hotel standards. Housekeeping does a meticulous job. The food is healthy, varied, and nutritious. The Lifestyle Team does its best to ensure a range of activities, excursions to local attractions, and visits from outside 'entertainers' cater to the needs of an eclectic audience.
I have absolutely no doubt that Lonsdale Mews is well-managed and well-run.
