Hunters Lodge is a great home. My grandma thrived in the environment and loved the staff as they were so caring and attentive. The food was excellent and was all freshly prepared which was an added bonus as I didn’t expect this. The managers were superb and knew my grandma so well with all her needs and treated her with such kindness. So grateful for the care they provided and would highly recommend to all.

We were very happy with the care of my late grandmother in the time she stayed at Hunters Lodge. She made some lovely friendships with other residents and the caring staff. Her bedroom was a safe haven for her and we were always welcomed to take personal belongings in. The food was of a very high standard and my grandmother, in particular, loved the tea trolley and biscuits between meals.
Hunters Lodge is such a welcoming home. The staff are always friendly, and residents are catered to all their needs with care. Beautiful looking home, attention to detail and many activities on offer to support the residents.

Hunters Lodge continues to provide excellent care for my mother. She is treated with respect and patience by all the staff who are friendly and willing. Their handling of my mother is consistently gentle and caring. The quality of the food (and quantity) is very high and prepared by dedicated kitchen staff. My mothers family members are always made very welcome and made to feel valued.
A truly family oriented home for the elderly, where their care is paramount in everything they do. Well balanced home cooked meals which I have partaken in and enjoyed. All staff are polite, considerate and friendly to all residents and family members. I was always welcomed with a friendly chat...
A truly family oriented home for the elderly, where their care is paramount in everything they do. Well balanced home cooked meals which I have partaken in and enjoyed. All staff are polite, considerate and friendly to all residents and family members. I was always welcomed with a friendly chat either when I was there in person or over the phone. A 5 star home.
Many thanks for everything.

My mother spent the last few years of a very long life here and could not have received better care. She was throughout treated with love, tenderness and dignity. This is a well-run care home where the high standards of care are set by the management and carried out by all the staff. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to others.
I love this place! Everyone is so caring, so kind, so patient, can't praise them enough. A real family feel, reassuring and comfortable.

Hunters Lodge has been a wonderful way for Mum to spend the last two and half years of her life.
The Management have been empathetic, capable, kind and fully supportive of Mums needs practically and 'especially' emotionally. The staff, which includes cleaning and kitchen, are the heart of Hunters Lodge. Respectful, caring, with nothing being too much trouble. Always happy and on hand to help Mum with her needs.
Hunters Lodge is clean, tidy and well designed. Mum was asked what she enjoyed before she moved in and her room was designed around her wishes. The food is amazing and I was able to have an enjoyable lunch with Mum occasionally.
This is a Home to which anyone would be welcomed warmly to live in or visit. My family and I were extremely happy and grateful for our Mums fantastic care and would highly recommend to anybody.
Thank you Hunters Lodge.

Hunters Lodge provides a safe and secure environment for people with dementia. The place is always clean - bedrooms and corridors as well as the area seen by visitors. The meals provided are home cooked and quite amazing.
I moved my mum here after 20 months in a previous home that caused her anxiety by not locking bedroom doors. She has now been at Hunters Lodge for over two years. The staff are very caring and patient with excellent humour involved to deal with can sometimes be difficult decisions.
I would recommend this home to anyone. The management are always looking for ways to improve. I leave mum here knowing that I don't have to worry. It's an hours drive away and if I don't get down at a weekend it isn't the end of the world. She will still be cared for in the way you would expect.

Some 25 years ago I acted as a volunteer driver for ambulance care service which brought me into contact with many care and nursing homes although not this one. Some were good others extremely the opposite. When my daughter and I reviewed this one we immediately placed my sister-in-laws name on the waiting list. When the vacancy arose we jumped at the chance and have never regretted it. All of the staff from the owners to the kitchen and cleaning operatives treat inmates and visitors with a friendly greeting. I suspect that a number of their staff have been on the books for some time and I can see why.

The whole staff group (including cooks and cleaners) are properly trained, properly supervised and properly supported by a senior management team which understands elderly people who can no longer live independently. This is evident in their careful and respectful attitude/ behaviour towards residents and the willing participation of non-care staff in the wider fringes of care. Also, relatives and friends of residents are made very welcome and considered "part of the family". This together with a whole raft of input by committed and informed external parties, creates a quality environment where residents can experience variety, humour and appropriate challenges.
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
