My Mum moved into Moss Cottage in March 2026 following a couple of months in hospital after a number of falls whilst living in her previous residential home.
Mum is 97 this year, so the change has been a little overwhelming, but she has eventually settled & that is down to the staff, they all go
above and beyond to care for Mum.
Mum comments how nice the staff are on a regular basis when they walk past us in the Lounge.
The food is brilliant, Mum is on a pureed diet due to a stroke last year but still manages to have a variety of different meals/desserts/snacks.
My only negative comment would be the lack of daily activities - the previous home Mum was in had a weekly timetable visible showing a morning and afternoon activity being held each day - this is missed.

My mum has now been at Moss Cottage for 1.5 years nearly. She is extremely well cared for. All her needs are met. She is very well liked and the staff genuinely speak of her in a loving way. She had skin problems when she went in but her skin is very well hygienically looked after. She is always lovely
and clean. The staff work so hard. The staff are a lovely bunch of ladies and gents. The new manager has made improvements to how building looks both externally and internally. Fresh table settings, flowers outside, making it more welcoming. The home isn't a very modern building, but it is kept very clean, and things are slowly being replaced and repaired to make it fresher and brighter. Overall a very trustworthy place for your loved ones to be. I wouldn't want my mum anywhere else. The cooks, the carers, lovely receptionist, new manager everyone who works there, do their very best to love and care for the residents. Problems resolved as soon as they appear if necessary. Mums content.

My Grandfather has recently moved into Moss Cottage for end of life care. They have been really friendly and helpful and accommodating. I has only been a few weeks so far and it's over the Summer Holidays, so I can't in my opinion give a full service review, but on the whole the care has been good.
The food is great and I was particularly impressed with the homemade chicken soup the other day!

My stepfather recently passed away after being in Moss Cottage for three weeks.
He received Palliative care and then end of life care.
The staff and care that I saw at the home was outstanding and professional.
Although the home appears a little tired you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover and
I cannot praise the home enough for the care and dignity that my stepfather received.

My brother moved to Moss Cottage about a year ago and the experience has been very satisfactory to date. He is eating and drinking much better than previously in my opinion. The carers who are effectively his social life are attentive, entertaining and painstaking and I'm grateful for that. The nursing
care is adequately monitoring his state and have on several occasions moved him to hospital when his health gave grounds for concern so overall I am very satisfied.

My mum has been a resident at Moss Cottage, for about 9 months. She seems very happy there, the staff look after her needs, with care and compassion. Mum loves to chat with the carers, and sing along to the music and entertainment.

Staff are amazing , think some room could do with updating like carpets ect as the home is being paid a lot and we want our family member to enjoy the room
Would be nice if the home did days or activities which involved the residents and their families

My mother was a resident at Moss Cottage for 9 weeks and she received palliative care during this time. The staff's care was personal to us and second to none. They treated her with dignity, compassion, care and love. The day of her passing was without a doubt very traumatic for my family and the support
and love we received will never be forgotten. From start to finish, they could not do enough. When the ambulance came to take our mother away, they all stood in line and gave their respect to her. Myself and my family will never forget the care she received. With fondest love and regards to all the staff.

The care was good, the food always looked good and was always presented lovely and hot despite my husband being on a pureed diet. I joked it was like Masterchef. The entertainment looked good from what I saw my husband didn't really participate (his choice) as he was happy in his room watching TV.
All
staff from what I witnessed and overheard genuinely cared about the residents. The Laundry was washed well. I did have a couple of things go missing but I guess in a home it's to be expected occasionally due to the quantity of washing they have and I wouldn't let that deter me or anyone from this home as I had much worse in a different home. It's never easy having someone in care but if I ever had the need to use a care/nursing home again I wouldn't hesitate on using this home. They really do go above and beyond on all levels so thank you to each and every member of the staff. You're a credit to the home.

Moss Cottage is a lovely home. My aunt has been there for around nine months and is so well cared for. All staff members are lovely, they're so caring and helpful and they all seem to know my aunt well. The home itself is clean and welcoming. There seem to be lots of activities. And the food always

My Mum spent over five years at Moss Cottage. The care Mum received was exceptional. The Home is very comfortable and the staff are friendly and very caring. Mum sadly passed away in December and the care and compassion shown to me and my family was wonderful! The staff really care.
I would recommend
Moss Cottage to anyone looking for a safe and caring home for their loved ones.

My Mum went into Moss Cottage in October 2022 and has recently passed away. The care she received during her short stay was superb. The management and staff cared for her as they would for their own family and nothing was too much trouble.

All the staff at Moss Cottage are wonderful, caring people. They are led by an excellent manager and treat residents (and relatives) with respect and compassion. I am so grateful to the staff for the fantastic care my Mum receives on a daily basis. Thanks also due to the support staff: Admin, Events
Organiser, Cleaning staff and Chefs for the wonderful service and their part in making Moss Cottage such a successful and welcoming care home.

My uncle had only been at Moss Cottage for a month when it was his 100th birthday. The staff made it such a magical and wonderful day for him. There was a lovely buffet, cake, beautiful balloons and the mayoress came to congratulate him. It was so lovely that they had taken the time and effort to arrange
this for him. I personally will remember the day for a long time.
