Dovecote View

My great uncle is a resident at Dovecote View and its such a lovely place to be. The staff are lovely, caring and very welcoming. I've seen activities and there is always something going on. The food always smells and looks good. The home is well maintained. I would highly recommend Dovecote to anyone who is needing rest bite or permanent care.

My elderly aunt was a resident at Dovecote View for 6 months and I cannot speak highly enough of the care she received. All the carers are truly devoted to the residents, nothing is too much trouble for them and indeed sometimes they went above and beyond their duties to assist and please my aunt, as did the administration staff. She was treated with respect and dignity at all times. The location of the home is set in the most pleasant grounds and the gardens are kept very well which the residents appreciate I'm sure. The home has a family feel about it and has a happy atmosphere. I can highly recommend Dovecote View.

My uncle has been at the home for 3 weeks now and the change in him has been amazing!. He's so happy at Dovecote view. staff are all lovely and attentive, nothing is too much for them. The home is very clean and welcoming. The meals are all home cooked each day. There's a wide range of activities for residents to complete too.

Amazing staff will do anything for you, they are all very professional always interacting with resistants, always got smiles on their faces. Gardens are so welcoming, the way the weather has been and to jeep the gardens looking that good is impressive.

On my visit to Dovecote I was greeted and taken to see my relative. Very friendly staff. Coffee and biscuits were given to us. It is a relaxed home and very well maintained with beautiful gardens. My relative was content and well looked after.

I can highly recommend Dovecote View.

My dad has stayed at Dovecote View before and as before everything was wonderful, not just for Dad but for the family visiting him. Dad himself has said he loved staying there. All the staff looked after him so well as if he was one of their family. And we could not have asked for any better than that.

My mother is happy as a resident and loves the interaction with the other residents and all the staff.

They are all so lovely, friendly and caring, day and night, and keeping me fully informed.

There is nothing about Dovecote View or their staff that we don't find as EXCELLENT! My sister-in-law has, unfortunately, needed more and more care in the year or so since she's been in the home and they have completely stepped up in every way to help her.

It very much has a 'family feel' about the place and is the closest it can be to one's own home, but with lovely furniture and paintings making it feel like an up-market hotel.

We have total faith in the staff and don't believe that she could receive better care elsewhere.

Mum has been with Dovecote View for 14 months and we couldn't be happier. It's great to know she is so well looked after by ALL the staff and gives us piece of mind when leaving to know she is in such good hands. We've just left the wonderful Easter Party today and it was such a joy to see Mum with a big smile on her face, chair dancing and the other residents enjoying themselves. The Staff really do go the extra mile, place is spotless, food is amazing and care is second to none. We're made to feel like family. I'd give 6 stars if I could.

My husband John was admitted to Dovecote View in April 2025 from hospital having broken his wrist. John is suffering from skin cancer on his scalp together with prostrate cancer and also dementia. All the staff are so caring and professional and they deserve the highest of accolades. The care staff are outstanding and their professionalism stems from the brilliant office personnel right down to all the wonderful immaculate cleaning staff. Catering is of such a high hotel order certainly the care home far exceeds the top score of 10.

Compact home with family atmosphere and inclusive arrangements for all residents. Range of activities well communicated. Spotless care home with beautiful, well maintained grounds.

Mum is very happy and safe. The staff have made a genuine effort to build a relationship with mum, which I know mum values. We are very happy with the level of care mum receives and would recommend Dovecote to others.

We have found the home to be very welcoming and the staff very helpful and friendly. It is always spotlessly clean and mum gets taken care of very well. They do alot of activities with the residents which must benefit them well. Would highly recommend.

The staff always treat my dad with kindness, consideration and respect. The communication which I receive from the care home is always prompt and accurate. My dad has made friends with some of the other residents and the care home always offers a good range of events and activities. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff and I know that I have made the best choice with Dovecote view care home.

Dovecote is a wonderful care home. The staff are, without exception, kind and compassionate, and respond to residents in a personal way, providing individualised care.

My Mum moved to Dovecote a couple of months ago and I have visited regularly since. I am always impressed by the kindness of everyone when I visit. My Mum has become very fond of the carers, kitchen staff and maintenance team. There is a consistent staff group who are clearly happy at work, well led and well trained. There are a variety of activities, for those who wish to take part, which residents enjoy. Mum's room is welcoming and always spotless. The communal areas are also well maintained, comfortable and have a lovely homely feel.

Moving Mum into 24 hour care was a difficult decision, but the Dovecote team have made it so much easier for us all. I totally trust the staff and know that my Mum is well looked after.

For this, I express my deepest gratitude to everyone employed at this wonderful home from management to domestic staff. You deserve 5 stars. Thank you again

This care home is excellent in every way. The staff are incredible and will always go the extra mile to care and support the residents and their families. The home feels like a 'home', everyone is loved and nurtured. The building is beautifully maintained and the food served looks and smells delicious!

Dovecot View is a wonderful care home. It has a lovely, friendly family feel. The carers and all the staff are so kind and caring to the residents and treat them with the utmost respect and always talk nicely to them and take individual wishes and needs into account. My mother has been in Dovecote View for 9 months now and she has been extremely well looked after. Her room is always spotless and she is content and comfortable. It is such a relief to be able to leave her after visiting, knowing she is in such caring hands.
