Bramble Cottage

My mum could not look after herself at home so I needed somewhere. Bramble Cottage is just right Sharon and the staff are great the care my mum receives is excellent the care staff are very friendly and helpful the room is of good size has everything which is needed there are choices at meal times and everyday there is activities I would highly recommend Bramble Cottage

My mother had a fortnight's respite care at Bramble Cottage in January and was very impressed by the home and the care . Having been very reluctant and apprehensive about 'going into a home' she found this stay so positive and reassuring she made the decision to move in as a long term resident in May. She has never once regretted this! She has a lovely spacious ground floor room, with some of her own pictures and small items from home. She feels safe and cared for, has made friends with other residents, and very much enjoys the activities, particularly the Create and Craft and the Quiz. She had been increasingly isolated and anxious in her own home, but the care and companionship Bramble Cottage offers has relieved this anxiety and she looks and feels much better than she had done for months beforehand. We feel this is a very special place, fully deserving its excellent reputation locally and are so grateful to the staff their genuine kindness and professional care.

Sharon and her team of carers were amazing giving great care to my mum who passed away in the care home and also to my dad who also passed away in the care home on the 27th April 2026. The care that they receive was faultless and the staff should be highly recognised. I would like to give my thanks to all staff for looking after my parents for the 3 years that they lived at bramble cottage. Thank you all so much Laura and family

Mum has been resident at Bramble Cottage for the past 4 months. During that time, she has received the very best of care delivered with patience and understanding. Every member of staff from the care home manager to nursing staff, cleaning staff and kitchen staff have gone above and beyond to ensure mum has felt as if she were at home. Their care has allowed mum to recover and return home!

My only disappointment was my room, small, the most uncomfortable chair which could not be changed, old very limited TV and bed not comfortable. I also had to ask for replacement pillows as they were so bad. But the shower room was superb. All staff were kind, smiling and willing. Everything ran smoothly which must be complicated to achieve, food well planned and good, nice to be able to eat in your room as often I did not feel well to go down.

When our dear friends who we have known for almost 40 years was finding it hard to cope at home and looking to move into a care home we suggested she tried Bramble Cottage as my mother-in-law had convalesced there 20 years ago. She moved in in June last year and settled down very quickly. She has a good sized bedroom overlooking the beautiful garden and enjoys watching the bird and animal life. She says staff are so kind and she feels very safe. She only has to press the button she carries around her neck and someone comes. She has told us she really enjoys the food and the activities and new social life. Previously she lived by her self and felt very isolated, especially living in a hilly part of Brighton. It was very hard for her to leave the house she had lived in for more than 60 years, but moving into such a lovely Care Home as Brambles has given her a new lease of life.

My mother has been at Bramble Cottage for over a year and is very happy there. The staff are excellent, they are caring, friendly and go out of their way to make her feel happy, safe and very well cared for. There are plenty of social events and personal requests such as food choices are well catered for. I cannot recommend Bramble Cottage highly enough.

My dad arrived at Bramble Cottage in a pretty bad way after mixing up his medication and not eating properly. The staff were so caring. He enjoyed the food and the company of other residents, and was often able to eat out in the beautiful garden when the weather was nice. After 2 weeks of wonderful respite care he was back to his old self and able to return home and live independently.

Excellent place. My only complaint is about the beds. Single & small. - They NEED BIGGER BEDS

We were visiting my Godmother for the first time. All the staff were very welcoming and friendly. My Godmother had a turn when we were attempting to take her out. The staff were so quick to act and were very caring. I was very impressed with the efficiency, kindness and friendliness of every staff member we encountered. The place is lovely, comfortable and warm. I know that my Godmother is being very well taken care of

I was made very welcome at Bramble Cottage by both staff and residents. Although only there for a few weeks, I was made to feel as important to them as if I was to be there permanently. I found it a very homely place and my visitors were also warmly welcomed. It was always very clean and airy. I was invited to join in the activities and although I often had visitors I enjoyed taking part in the quiz. I would certainly recommend it to any friends looking for a retirement home either for themselves or a relative.

The staff are all wonderful, caring, kind and so helpful. My mum was at Bramble Cottage for over two years and she was so happy there. During her last few months before she passed away she was extremely poorly but the care and attention she was given by all the staff was amazing.

Thank you all for your care.

I am hugely grateful to all at Bramble for all that they do, so very well, and wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone.

I have no hesitation in recommending Bramble Cottage.

I spent two weeks at Bramble Cottage after surgery. It is a lovely place with some beautiful rooms overlooking a pretty garden. The staff and management strike a very good balance of caring for residents whilst enabling them to be as independent as they wish/are able. I especially appreciated being able to eat in my room as I wasn't very mobile. Nothing was too much trouble and the weekly activities were enthusiastically undertaken. My only reservation was about the quality of the food - which was edible without being inspiring. But there was a choice and you could request alternatives. I could see that many permanent residents didn't seem to have much appetite. Overall, I found it a very good experience and met some lovely people. Thank you.

Bramble Cottage feels clean and fresh and exudes a nice, homely and welcoming atmosphere.

My sister is looked after very well. Everybody is very kind and helpful. My sister is very happy here.

Lovely bedroom and surroundings.

Bramble Cottage is warm and caring, has an extremely good atmosphere and the staff are its biggest asset. Nothing is too much trouble for them. All tasks are always coupled with a smile. They are very approachable and always available. There is a beautiful garden which residents are welcome to enjoy. There are activities available on most days. The food is good, with seasonal menus. The only downside is the showers which need updating.
