Care Homes Owned by Porthaven Care Homes in Cambridgeshire

Met with warm smiles care at professional attitudes from staff.Really appreciated activities.

The room was a bit noisy from the trains going past outside, although shutting the windows eradicated most of the outside sound. My room was situated outside the Carers desk/station, which meant that whenever other residents pressed their call buttons, there was a persistent and recurrent buzzing sound, which did decrease when my door was closed, but could be disturbing at night.

The whole Team at Barley Manor went above and beyond from my first phonecall. They worked on their days off and arranged emergency rest-bite over a bank holiday weekend. Once safely at the home they provided amazing care and support and made a difficult situation easier to handle. The home itself is spotless and in a fabulous location. Huge thanks.

My brother is in this care home, and I am very pleased with the care that is taken to keep him content, well and happy.

My Mum has dementia and has been at Barley Manor since January 2026. Her room is lovely, the facilities and food are excellent but the main thing that makes the home so wonderful is the staff! From Maddie on reception, to all of the nursing care team, the cleaning, housekeeping and maintenance team, Narcis the manager and Jayne the activities lead, every staff member says hello with a warm smile, and goes out of their way to provide a caring and stimulating environment for Mum, and regular updates for me. The cafe is a wonderful hub within the home and a lovely place to sit with Mum for a hot chocolate.

Great staff. Comfortable surroundings and garden with easy access. Should certainly wish to return to Barley Manor if another respite care is needed.

My brother has been in the home since May 2025 and the care I have witnessed has been heartwarming. The staff create an enviroment like a family home with lots of love and involvement in quality of life. There are many activities for residence and, for those that cannot partake in them, someone to hold their hand and talk to them.

We have used Barley Manor when care required for Mum during 2024/25 and 26, plus 2 weeks respite for my late Dad in 2025. The welcoming, kind and caring nature of staff, along with lovely environment, fantastic meals, companionship and varied activities have made their stays relaxing and enjoyable. Nothing is too much trouble. I highly recommend Barley Manor.

My Mum came to Barley Manor for respite care following a hip replacement. From the administration, catering team, through to the carers, the staff were always friendly, caring and helpful. Charli the floor manager was super helpful on Mum's transition back to her own home ensuring, she had the required supply of medication and re-registered her back to her own GP surgery. As family we were grateful for their care of Mum

My dad had 2 weeks respite care and was very happy and content. The staff were all so kind, always smiling and taking great care of the residents. He really enjoyed all the meals and ate well despite his dementia. We tried the meals and the cakes in the cafe, it was all very tasty. We were relieved that he was kept mobile and he participated in crafts and puzzles. Thank you for all your great care and kindness.

Now dad has moved out to he back home - we'll always bear in mind if things worsen again, he'd wouldn't mind returning

Rooms have everything you need, ample storage and beautifully decorated.

"Thank you", to you all.

I would recommend Barley Manor, as it is a friendly and lively place to live. I came for a respite stay and loved it, so I decided to make it my permanent home. My family are close by, and it is a great joy for them to feel so welcomed by the staff when they come in to see me.

We would recommend Barley Manor to all and everyone without hesitation, and wish it a continued success.

I would recommend Barley Manor wholeheartedly

My experience is limited but overall I have a high regard for Barley Manor. In a new building it is stylishly decorated with many additional facilities such as a cafe, cinema, gym and hairdresser. There is also a beautiful garden. The staff are professional & caring. The food is good and meal times are generally pleasant & relaxed. A good programme of entertainment & exercise is rn on a daily basis & there are trips out to e.g a National Trust. In summation a beautiful well run care home

Excellent care, lovely decor, beautiful rooms, a friendly team and great food. Mum really enjoyed her trial stay at Barley Manor and is keen to make a permanent move. The cafe is a great hub and there are lots of activities.

Barley Manor is an excellent nursing home. From the emergency reception in January of my cousin with dementia to the present day the care, understanding and sympathy of all the staff has been exceptional. The design and furnishing of the whole home and gardens is aimed at comfort and stimulation. The activities provided for residents presses the right buttons of memories and involvement. The integration of local surgery and nursing home care is exemplary. My cousin has found the comfort and care she needs. Well done, Barley Manor.

Was made most comfortable and welcome on my arrival and all arrangements ran smoothly. My room was pretty and spacious but above all staff were most helpful well trained and friendly. Lovely cinema and classes including keep fit. Skilled nursing to hand if required. My choice re activities, timing, menu etc.; all so very reassuring for a potential full time resident. Friends welcome. My future decision to come here already made.
