Amesbury Abbey opened in 1985, followed shortly afterwards by Sutton Manor.

We have been very impressed by the home and its staff. So much so that I have told my family that if I need this level of care, I would be happy for them to arrange for my care here. My wife was treated with the utmost respect and care during her 11 months at the home. We visited every day during her stay, so we got to know all of the staff, and the day to day care that they provided.

Sutton Manor is an exemplary Nursing home. Housed in an interesting period property with extensive grounds, elegantly furnished and staffed by a team of expert and very kind carers. All the people working there are without exception cheerful, smiling and wonderfully helpful. A big plus is the food, two chefs produce delicious, beautifully presented meals catering for all tastes. My two weeks respite was an enjoyable success.

My stepfather Ray lived at Sutton Manor for 14 years, from 2012 until he sadly passed away in August 2026, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care he received.
After his stroke, Sutton Manor became his home. It is extremely well run, set in beautiful grounds, with excellent food and a good range of activities for residents.
The staff genuinely knew Ray as a person. He was quite a character and always said what he thought, but they understood him, respected him and cared for him with kindness and patience.
As his health declined, he was treated with dignity and compassion, which meant so much to us.
I will always be especially grateful to Kamala, the manager, for accepting Ray into Sutton Manor after his stroke and for everything she and her team did for him over the years.
I am incredibly thankful Sutton Manor was the place Ray was able to call home.

My stay at Sutton Manor recently for respite care, following surgery. From when I arrived the staff looked after me in a most attentive way, the whole way through my stay. The food was always delicious, with a choice at every meal. The house and grounds are superb, and I spent some happy hours exploring the walled garden and looking at the planting and trees.

Everyone at Sutton Manor shows extraordinary high levels of care for residents. This ranges from the owners to carers, nurses, receptionists, cleaners, chefs and the maintenance team. My father is treated with respect, patience and compassion whatever the circumstances.

My mother moved into Sutton Manor during October last year, having been in another nursing home for approximately 6 months. We moved her, as she was becoming depressed, had little to stimulate her and I felt she had given up. The change in her on moving to Sutton Manor was near instantaneous and she has a new lease of life. Quite frankly I have my mother back again thanks to Sutton Manor. Mum has made many friends, participates regularly in activities and has been on a number of outings. The staff could not be more caring and ensure that Mum's needs are met in the most dignified manner possible. During the time that my mother has been at Sutton Manor, I have been undergoing chemotherapy and the staff have been supporting Mum wonderfully during this challenging time. They have also all shown a great deal of empathy and kindness to me, for which I am most grateful. I can honestly say that Sutton Manor has completely changed my view of nursing homes. Highly recommended.

My father has been in the care of Amesbury Abbey for nearly four years and I cannot rate highly enough the care, love and attention he receives every day. I live overseas and I never have to worry for a minute knowing he is in the very best possible care. The staff are always so kind and nothing is ever too much trouble. I can't imagine him happier or in better care anywhere else.

We are so lucky to have found Amesbury Abbey, my mothers physical health, out look, mental health improved ten fold after her move in to her gorgious room at Amesbury Abbey.

I have visited my 99 year old mother once a week throughout the time she has been at Amesbury Abbey and my 3 siblings do likewise. My mother is very content in the lovely surroundings at the Abbey but the one single factor that makes it so special is that the staff are so welcoming to anyone who visits and always have time to stop, chat and make time for the residents.

My Father in Law has been with The Amesbury Abbey Group now for over five years. The Abbey itself is a stunning building and an incredibly beautiful place to live. The care and support from each and every member of the staff is second to none. He is treated with kindness, dignity, warmth and utter respect covering his needs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. His furniture , pictures, clothes and all of his own belongings surround him in his room. Housekeeping take great care of everything for him. The menu changes every day and there is always a choice of what to have. Breakfast, morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and supper provide all home cooked delicious items. The kitchen are always happy to fulfil any personal requests, especially on your birthday! When visiting my Father in Law its like entering into one very big family. Everybody is happy, lots of banter, lots of fun and a great atmosphere. The management team are exceptional, my Father in Law leads a very happy life there.

When I left Sutton Manor a few days ago, after two weeks Respite Care, I did so with genuine regret, and determination to return. I am 91 and have been lucky enough to live and work in many countries. During this time I have witnessed several levels of 'care' and can honestly say that none compared to Sutton Manor. Care is a very personal subject, with widely varying criteria, but only Sutton Manor stands out as meriting 100% on all of them. The keynotes are grace, elegance and tranquility. The grounds, ambiance, furnishings and comfort are superb and impeccably maintained. The quality of professional care is faultless and delivered by every department with a degree of personal charm rarely found today. The level of cuisine is comparable to fine dining. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at all levels, who are obviously driven by teamwork and care for their charges. Overall Sutton Manor is a rare gem and all the staff, across the board, can be proud of the work that they do.
There are no upcoming events for Amesbury Abbey Group.
